/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

So specifically with the breastplate, I have a theory that I can trace the contour lines of the indentations on a sheet of foam that’s been fitted to my chest followed by scoring along the trace, then heating and pressing it to the other side to get the muscle shape/curves. Was then planning on measuring and cutting out additional pieces of foam to line the trim and detailing. I’m using contact cement and some armor metallic fx paint on plastidip primer.

Is this a sound plan? I’m in crunch time and got waylaid, the scoring/pressing method worked for a Greek style hoplite breastplate I did as a test but this will be my first actual cosplay.

The other stuff in the image is fairly straightforward but if anyone has some tips or wants to chastise me go all out I’m here to learn.

Also I’m not expecting it to look like this masterpiece I’m just using it as a reference.
