Hello all,
Please bear with me this is my first: cosplay, forum, thread, foam craft, etc. You get the idea I am a newbie.
To tell you a bit about myself (without boring you) I love video games, especially open world games. So naturally Skyrim is right up my street. I wanted to start cosplay and I had no idea where to start so as usual - YouTube. So in my quest I found Bill Doran and the FREE blueprints for Skyrim steel armour HOORAY!
FREE Blueprints - https://punishedprops.com/free-blueprint-files/
YouTube videos -
Helmet - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKNZ5ynYL-s&list=PL6q0fd3ileWLNxx9aWV5DEwNnaiKzaL4x&t=7s&index=3
Armour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MAyu19v308&list=PL6q0fd3ileWLNxx9aWV5DEwNnaiKzaL4x&index=3

So you don't have to read my rants here is some photos
Day 2 of foam work (lets not talk about day one)

After just started I realised I would use less foam if I set out the patterns and tried to leave as little space as possible

Spot the Gryffindor socks!
Day 4 progress - and I am getting much better at cutting the foam

If you have any hints and tips I would love to hear them, and let us all see/read the awesome foam craft you guys are up to!!
