Hey, guys! Tucker here! Sorry, I have been busy with a few things to actually post the progress on the cosplay so I'll try to brief while being detailed.

So, as you can see I went back to the drawing board and traced the original template on new paper and added the sides to the front-bottom so it matched Jaune's design more accurately. I also added and the Alignment marks and labels on the paper template to make it easier to re-assemble, so now I'll cut the patterns out in foam.

Ok, so after yesterday at work I was too tired to cut the foam and assemble it today, so I did it a few minutes ago and this is how it turned out.
Okay, so the whole alignment thing didn't go exactly as planned, but the template I made turned out good, I haven't tried it on yet, so I don't know how it will fit. For who want to know what foam I'm using, I am using the 2' x 2'x 0.5" foam mats from Harbor Freight. It usually comes with 4 mats and I only paid 8.99 for it. It's okay but if you are using your cosplay in a cosplay contest, I would recommend getting higher grade mats, maybe at a fitness store.

I had a small idea to make two shoulder parts because the front and back was not aligned with each other good so, yeah. Pretty much I laid both templates down with both top parts facing each other and I arched the connections to make it more connected.

Well, it felt weird and very loose so, I will be REMOVING the shoulders I added in last minute. I may also cut out 2" from each side to make it more a tighter fit. so I'll be doing another update soon.
