Looking good, MischaU. I'd like to see a photo that shows more of the costume. I've added you to the list.

Aye it does look awesome!

I really need to get to work on my old school stormtrooper....

I've been a Cadian 8th Regiment Guardsman for a few years now. It's still a favorite of mine, and still draws a fair amount of attention.

Question for the SoB cosplayers - How do you go about making the breastplates? I've been looking around for anything I can think of, but nothing comes to mind so far. The best I can think of is vacuum forming it, but I'd like to avoid having to make that kind of huge machinery when I really don't have space for it.

You should consider heat forming then.
It's the same thing as vacuum forming, without the vacuum.

All you need is a heat gun and something that looks like what you're trying to replicate. If you're working with foam or plastic, this can be done very easily. However, you'd get a smoother piece doing it with vacuum forming... but a little sanding and bondo can take care of imperfections

Near the bottom of this post about Mass Effect armor there's a short description of how EvilFX made a breastplate without vacuforming.

I used a fencing chest protector for mine

I am wanting to do a Space Wolf costume. Any help on how to start would be great. I am fairly new to costuming but I used to do SCA so I have a little experience. Thanks in advance. Or posibly an Apothicary
