I already have about 10 projects that aren't done so of course I started another build. I decide to make an armored Nightwing by my own design. alot of inspiration was from watching STEATH and Xieng Prods YouTube foam armor builds.

The whole thing took a week and cost about $70 to build.
first off was the torso, I used these templates for the chest
I then cut out the abs and back, then strapped it together
Here are a few of the other pieces after heat forming.
I glued them together and started to detail it with thinner foam.
For the mask I heated some 5mm foam and sandwiched it between 2 plastic batman masks, then cut down to size.
I then plastidiped all the pieces black
Using shelf liner on certain areas I sprayed silver to get a carbon fiber effect
For the escrimna sticks I cut a paint roll extender in half for the base, then detailed it in foam and cut the cap off a paint roller and glued it to the end so it could screw together and form a bo staff.
painted black
Here is the completed armor
I'll try and get some better pictures soon!
