Thanks for the tip, makes sense.

One thing though, looking at it more closely (pic related), crafting foam will be too round for this armor...it's tight looking and has really concave shapes. Would I need to buy really thick foam and shape that or will I need some sort of putty that I can put on top of the foam and then sand down?

Also what do you guys recommend for painting the foam, I was gonna go for a different texture scheme on the armor...the shiny and smooth look is rather ugly imo...was thinking of using clear glue and adding bits of sand, then spray painting the sand with a onyx black to give it an ablative coating look.
