So, I'm putting together a series of Star Wars vids, and one of the characters is a disgruntled, battle-hardened exp-Imp. The armour I found available online was either too cheap and crappy, or too good and expensive. I wanted something lived in and... broken. But not a kid's costume, y'know?
So, yeah, I decided to make it myself. I had some thin EVA foam lying around anyway, so I just sort of pieced it all together with some direction from online tutorials. The result isn't great, but I think it will translate well to film!

iβm somewhat obsessed with papercraft masks and how you can make 3D shapes from flat paper. love this
Um, HOLY COW???!?!!! Jim, this looks great; and at this point I'm convinced that you can make just about anything! n0n Even more exciting will be seeing how you weave the prop into the story! Looking forward to it, the character sounds intriguing af!

Lol, you are soooooooo speaking my language lately. I'm a 45 year old unashamed Harry Potter and Star Wars nerd! Can't wait to see this!

Holy shit!!!!! Youβre a damn genius. The time alone that all this stuff must take is waaaaaay more than I could ever spare or imagine. Absolutely amazing, dear!
the way this was puzzled out is just ingenious.
I very much enjoy that you have been sharing your creation process. It is very fun to see the progress and final results. Thank you! Also, my inner Star Wars geek is very thrilled.

I need to make you Mando armor but I need your measurements x.x
OMG thats so cool! I LOVE SW! <3
Wow this looks great!!! I wish I was this crafty!! Can't wait to see the video! π
Ok SJ, I think it might be time to fess up. You have a Time Turner don't you? You stole one from the the Ministry of Magic before Harry & The Gang wrecked the place. I am utterly convinced you live outside the time space continuum and have more hours in the day than everybody else. π€π€£π
Your talent knows no bounds, that's an amazing job and great detail :D
Holy shit thats incredible!!!

Well... Look at you! This looks great! Honestly, better than any costume you could get online!
Looks great. Thanks for sharing. Iβm always a fan of process.
AAAHHH! I am so excited. This is the best news! Made all the better with hand crafted art.
I havenβt got the spatial imagination skills for this kind of patterning work at all. SUPER impressed with how you pulled it together.
Oh wow, this is amazing. Totally loving the creativity, and, yes, from this side of the camera it looks like a top quality expensively made product. Nicely done!!! πππ
You have such an awesome imagination, Jim β€οΈ
I really like your attention to small details. Impressive ! πππ
Not a Star Wars kid but that's super neat. Hot glue is best girl ππ»
Star Wars!!! Awesome!!!
Iβm always amazed at your creativity. I canβt even draw a stick figure. I love seeing how you make your different props. Youβre really clever!
