HI since i been getting alot of questions on how i make my costumes i decide to make a tutorial on how i did it. the whole process is pretty simple. and it can be used for most armor type design. i used this pattern for warrior of light, dark cecil and right now for legend of dragoon. the whole process only cost 8$ for a roll of craft foam.

Thanks for sharing, okageo. Do you buy your craft foam online or at a local store?

at michael they have 30 by 60 inch roll for 8$

What do you cover your craft foam with as a sealer so you can paint it/give it a nice shine like your black armor/avatar has.

i used modpodge gloss. gloss make it shinny

but it seems like the spray version make it more shinnier

Thanks for this! This will be so useful for tons of armor I want to make in the future x3

I used this same method for my Pathfinder Barbarian costume, but instead of modge podge I used Acrylic GEL that I got from the art store. It seals the porous foam really well and dries fast, then you can paint over it whatever color you need to make it look like the armor, loved it!
