Hi guys!
A friend pointed me to these forums as a potential way to figure out what I can do to fix my foam armor. I am trying to replicate Frigga's chest piece from Thor: A Dark World (see my reference below).
My issue is that while I now have the armor shaping well around my waist, I'm losing my chest definition. I have no idea how to fix this. I tried re-heating the foam and using medicine balls (or Chi Balls) to re-create the breast plate, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any help anyone might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to take this to Dragon*Con and will be really sad if I have to abandon this at home because it doesn't work.
Pictures of what it looks like now on the dummy.
And on me.
The chest piece alone used to look like this before I assembled it with the other parts and started adding darts, etc to get it to fit better around my body.
So, dear people of the RPF, help?
