Here's the Knee pads
Oh, man, I wish I had found this thread sooner. The guy who was making my Lawgiver had to back out at the last minute, and I don't think I would have time even to build the foam one before DragonCon.
My foam-based armor is kind of ****ty compared to some other stuff already posted in this thread, but I'll share:
I'm not happy with the collar on the tunic, so I'm going to be tweaking that.
I used 1/4" EVA foam from McMaster-Carr, which is a medium gray color, and used black fabric markers and Mod Podge to get the black, slightly glossy surface.
The boots were the best find; a friend was getting rid of them because they didn't fit, and they're just right for my feet. All I had to do to get that look was apply Rub N Buff to them - the design was already there.
Not picture-perfect, but I'm transitioning from mostly bought costumes to DIY, and I feel like this was a decent first outing.
