I've been a long time lurker but here's my stab at armor. Don't want to clutter the thread, but I have a very thorough build write up on my blog. Thanks for looking!

Very nicely done! I can sense the undying rage :lol

From your build link I see you used thick (looks like 1/4"?) PVC sheet, did you round it with a heat gun before assembling the pieces? I like your technique, looks to be light-weight and effective.

Actually it's 1/8" (3mm) the trim though is a 1/4" triangle so it makes it look thicker than usual. But yeah I heat the pieces then assemble the trim on top of the already formed piece. Hope that answers your question!

Awesome work Junkers! I saw you wearing your costume this year at Fanime. You have an amazing attention to details.

Wow! How do you do armor like that?!?!

Im brand new to cosplay, but I really want to do Jarvan IV someday. I feel like I would need to start now, if I want to have any shot at doing it within this decade...lol

Edit: I see the build log now....I have a lot of reading to do!

The armor was made from 3mm (1/8") thick PVC foam. The trim was 1/4" acrylic triangle so that's maybe why it looks so thick? Yes I also heat shape the pieces with a heat gun. Hope that helps!
