Then plasti-dipped it and let my kiddo try on the pieces!įor the shoulder pieces, I started with the underlayer and made them from thin foam. Working from paper templates I made by wrapping his duct-tape model, I built the basic shape.
I then started work on the chest armor piece. Then I painted it the Cinnamon color I wanted it to look like and began hand-painting each of the scales to make them stand out better. I used EVA foam (2mm, 3mm, 4mm and 6mm thickness depending on the application).Īfter building the leather scale piece in foam, I used a wood-burning tool to etch the lines around the scales.Īfter finishing the whole thing, I painted it with a textured paint.
I started with making a duct-tape model of my 6yr old and then (using reference pics), I made paper templates for the leather armor pieces. After asking for about a dozen different costumes leading up to Halloween 2014, my 6yr old son finally landed on Hiccup from How to Train your Dragon 2.
