I’m brand new to making costumes/props and the like and my first attempt is going to be a knight costume for my son. He’s four, so I don’t want to spend a ton of time/money on something he is going to outgrow soon, but I wanted to get some opinions. I bought a plastic breastplate from the dollar store and was thinking of coating it with bondo and then working with that to get the shape, texture and look I want. It’s flexible plastic but not heavy. Would directly applying bondo to that work or would I need to use resin first?
Alternatively, is this just a bad idea to use as a starting point, and should I do something completely different?
