Skyrim Daedric Armor - Foam Build (COMPLETE! Pic Heavy)

Re: Skyrim Daedric Armor - first time foam build

Some more progress photos. Added some details to the shoulder pads and boots. I used metal washers to reinforce the joints where the shoulders are going to attach to the body with Chicago screws.





I kinda like the current color scheme, even though when painted its going to be reversed.

Some more progress shots. Final detailing prior to sealing the foam.




Did a base layer of black on the helmet prior to painting and texturing

The Otakon Deadric armor is from Daniel Bae. I helped him some with his cosplay.

Nice work! I saw a pep/fiberglassed daedric armor at Otakon last weekend so I am excited to see how this foam one turns out. Do you just use mod podge straight or do you dilute it with anything? I have never worked with that stuff before so I don't know how it feels.

Another update! Textured and painted the helmet today. I still need to do some weathering on the metal plates, but so far looks good. The texture on the horns came out just as I wanted.

Time for another photo-dump from yesterday.

Added some aged metal look to the helmet, came out pretty good for my first time . also gave it a few coats of gloss varnish:



Made the fingers for the gauntlets. I used a heat gun to shape the pieces, then 3 layers of sealer, layer of black then gunmetal paint for aged metal look, and finally 2 layers of acrylic varnish. Worst part was hot gluing the armor to the gloves, since I had to have my hand in the glove while pressing the piece with hot glue to it. :cry



Finally I painted some of the other pieces black as a primer layer.

Great job!!!
You are giving me the last push to start on the Halloween costumes for my kids.
Since is your first,you mention a lot of details that others don't even pay attention to explain because they did it before many times.
Thanks and keep the good work.

Thank you, and that's awesome! Never too early to start!

I am hoping I can help others by showing as much detail as possible.

Yeah, loving it! I'm tempted to do some daedric pieces myself, but sizing is an issue! Pity, it's sexy, sexy armour, particularly your build
