This is the best cosplay armor tutorial I've ever seen! It's exactly what I need, but I'm afraid it's too difficult for me to make it,but...Let's give it a try! Thank you for such amazing tutorial!
What you did for us is simply unbelievable !!! Thank you so much ! You're videos are really helpfull and gave us an incredible motivation for working harder ! Thank you Ted !
This guy is awesome...I watched this very vid and started with a chest plate...it was for my 7 yr old son...I studied this video along with the other parts...worked well and I'm humble...thanks a million Mr. Smith
Really great Tutorial Ted, it's great to see an In-depth look at how to create some really realistic looking armor from EVA foam. And I also loved your platform boots tutorial, that's something I've never seen before. Hope to see more
Ted I can’t thank you enough for making this easy step by step video. Iv watch a bunch of different videos trying to pick up the technique but this video put all the pieces together on what I was doing wrong. Cheers!
Excellent video. The improved sound and especially the editing make it very, very watchable and easy to understand what you're doing! Great job. Thanks.
Dear Evil Ted. Thank's SO MUCH for making these AWESOME videos and tutorials!! I'm and old costume maker from a few decades ago, who had a very small business, making mostly Halloween costumes for people (at ridiculously low prices). I'm kind of embarrassed when I think about the materials I used to use: Real hammered copper, bronze, and steel parts. Huge hides of thick leather, animal fur, leather straps, buckles, grommets, laces and real animal horns. I made Viking / Barbarian/ Roman/ Greek/ Medieval armor that you could "probably" actually wear into battle! I never went to a comicon or cosplay type event, but I bet we wouldn't even be allowed inside with the kind of stuff I made! How I wish I knew about the wondrous applications for FOAM when it comes to making cool costume armor! Your videos, along with those of other "Makers" , have inspired me to get back into making some costumes again, for me and one friend (so far)! His niece is getting married and she loves costuming and make up and Halloween so much, she planned her wedding to be a COSTUME BALL/ WEDDING!! How much fun does THAT sound like?? She specifically ASKED for us to make something cool, just like the stuff we made when she was just a little kid, and was actually inspired by our costumes! I cannot possibly let her down on her Wedding Day so I'm pulling out all the stops (as they say) to make something GORGEOUS! We're dressing up as Guardians from the video game Destiny! The Bride's husband to be, is a big fan of that game! Thanks again for ALL your tutorials and helpful hints, when working with this unbelievably versatile material! If I had one (and ONLY one) critique, about ANYTHING concerning your videos, it would be THE 45 DEGREE ANGLES! The angles you often show and describe as 45 degrees, are actually NOWHERE NEAR 45 degrees. To my eye (and I'm a machinist and a carpenter) (I know my angles!) They look more like 70/ 30 or 65/ 35 (depending on how you look at it) angles. Just sayin'! I'm kind of a stickler for details. (I'm SURE YOU of ALL people can understand!) Thanks again for all you do! It is a dream of mine, to actually meet you someday, and show you MY work! If that actually DOES EVER HAPPEN, I hope you will like and appreciate the kind of stuff I can make! Happy Making/ Happy Building Ted! and thanks AGAIN for all you do!!!
Thank you Mike. Yeah I don't say 45 degrees anymore. I say a slight bevel when cutting. Like you I started working in sculpting casting things in hard plastics of fiber glass. Once i found the wonders of foam, I'm not going back. So easy and fun to work with plus you can make a large project without breaking the bank. Thank you for your support and for subscribing.
Dear Evil Ted, Thanks SO MUCH for the personal reply!! That really meant a lot to me!! I'm a big fan of your channel and your work, and to receive a personal reply from you, is kinda like a teenager receiving a personal reply from their favorite Rock Star!! I told all my buddies at work and my costume making buddy, and they all got a kick out of it too! Thanks man!! You're truly one of the good guys! Keep up the great work and I'll try my best to do the same! I'm really looking forward to creating some really cool looking, costume armor, with this new found discovery (E V A Foam), and I have YOU, most of all, and a few other makers, to thank for my new found inspiration!!
You're so kool. I thought it would be way harder to do something like this but you made it look doable and even explained it in an easy to understand way. Thank!!
Ted, I love your videos and this one was very well edited and informative. For some reason however your audio is only coming in through the left channel. I don't know if you need to adjust your mic settings or video editing or what but it's making it a little jarring to listen to.
Evil ted ! Just want to say you are awesome! Im a first time cosplayer but have experience with everything you use. Im working on my first suit marvel cosplay and am using all your help !!! Thanks so much man !! You rock
This may be a stretch due to resources and materials, but Ted would you consider doing specific cosplay types for a multitude of genres. Making something sleek for a cyberpunk cosplay with thinner materials or a ridiculously over the top fantasy style costume for people who wanna go balls to the walls in those regards. I think it would be awesome to watch in creation.
Great video but your mic seems really off centre. It's so extreme it feels like I'm deaf. Worst of all its not even mono so the right sound comes in occasionally which worsens the effect.
Wow, this is really cool! I've always been interested in trying to make stuff like this but I always thought I'd need a lot of expensive materials and equipment. I'm surprised to see that something as cheap and pliable as floor mat foam can be used to make some pretty cool things. I like how at first it looks confusing, but once you start to see the pieces come together it all instantly clicks and makes sense. I think I might try my hand at making some things. Thanks for all the videos you've put out, I can tell you have a lot of love for this work and I'm glad that you're willing to share your knowledge so freely with others.

Do you think a robocop chest plate could be made using this method? & would it require a lot of individual pieces joined together ? (robocop's chest plate measures 53")
@@scorpionwins6378 NOT so easy even with cardboard patterns/templates, packed with, clay in between (the approach that I used, like how they used to sculpt car body chassis) & in 1/6 scale, but ive suceeded after MANY years. and it's all made of fibreglass inpregnated with bronze powder. I.m currently working on a 1/4 scale 18" version. when I first started I didnt know about- Pepekura method, and gluing foam portions together plus 3d printing didnt exist yet. with anything machine like the challenge is always symmetry I find. do you like the ROBOCOP design? I think its the best looking man in a suite robot design ever put on film
@@nigeldonaldson1647 yeah I was a huge fan of those movies growing up. Loved the aesthetic of the body armor. Sounds like you've been very busy, I'd love to see some of your work. You should upload videos.
@@scorpionwins6378 easy NO! I wish it were, there are big problems with symmetry, angles of curve (especially trying to get each breas to align) & the rib cage type portion making it the same height on both sides, & then we come to marking the precision detail, & thats just the chest plate, its really a job for a car body designer at Ferrari or Lamborgini
My friend showed me your channel and decided to take a look and thank you very much for this tutorial! I am new to making cosplay armor and i am going to make one armor cosplay for the first time and this video is very helpful! keep it up man!
This is an awesome tutorial! Thank you for also leaving links to everything you use!! After watching this at least 5 times, I am ready to give my first foam armor a go!
Thanks! I watched all your videos from the very beginning like 2 months ago, now i bought the tools even X-ACTO and heat gun also the barge cement, now I'm working on my project, the armor of Lighting in final fantasy XIII-2 and so far so good! credits all to you, Angel Ted lol.
Man, you are so talented. Not only in techniques, but also in creativity. I'm going to make the Madara Uchiha's "armour", and your videos are fantastic for it.
I'm researching how to make a Dr Doom outfit. but haven't a clue where to begin. I need to make chest armour, legs, boots, gauntlets, battleaxe and a gun. Any tips?
I noticed the same thing like the balance is off, heavily favored left. I checked my settings and a second set of headphones. Maybe a loose or bad contact on the mic plug. Or selecting a stereo input for your video but only recording a mono source.
i followed the link for the barge cement and amazon presented me with 20 items commonly purchased together (all clearly for building cosplay armour!) Brilliant
hi this is my first time subscribing and I was wondering if you can help me make a papyrus costume. it's from a game called undertale and your armor tutorial kinda helped but I need a little more help.
If you do a lot of paper pattern drafting, I highly recommend a pattern maker's hole punch tool. It's cut the exact shape of those registration marks. It saves a bunch of time if you have to make a lot of them and saves your knife blade from getting dull too. Great video, very useful! P.S. those sanding sticks are a Fantastic idea!
Evil Ted Smith Thanks for posting! Definitely worth they wait. I'm learning a lot and want to make my first piece of foam armor this summer when school's over and I can save up my money :)
Follow the directions of the male one, fit it to your form, and mess around with the chest area until you get something you like. that's what I've found to be the best
Hi Ted. My Name is Dan, i come all the way from Denmark, I was searching youtube for guides to make my own armor parts and found your totureals. you really inspired me alot to give it a try as well. I just need to found out if we got the stuff needed here in Denmark as well. i mostly thinking about the form mats. but a big thanks for posting these totureal, its really awsome. i did make a little myself, like my own battle damaged Terminator 2 chest part, molded in clay, took a cast af the molding and covered it with latex and so on, but i most deffently gonna try this as well. again, a huge thanks. from me.
Evil Ted Smith Dude you are my new god I have never built armor before thats NOT made out of paper so this is a effing huge help. Having to make 3 full armor sets before the con is going to kill me >
Thanks for that part with the chest piece and how to angle it. It creates a nice 3d effect (gonna make a male armor, although I am female). Your videos are always fun to watch! :)
I bet Ted gets paid BIG for this kind of stuff! Or else I'd ask him to do the armor for my archangel from my books I write. Amazing job, and great talent man!
Evil Ted, you're a great teacher; thanks a lot for your lessons (I hope you post much more in the future =D ). Your videos are very educative, they show real thing step by step (we feel like we're making all those things with you =D).
Videos are long, and necessarily so!!! Despite this you do an excellent job cutting out the bits of video where we can tell what you're doing to save time. You've earned a new sub, keep up the awesome work.
This is awesome! I'm making some similar tech armor so I've been following along with you and make a baseline, then I'll probably do one the way I want it after I've practiced on your video. Thanks a lot!
Hello Ted (from a Ted). Great work and keep 'dem videos coming!! I met you a few weeks back at Anime Los Angeles and you set me on this path with my daughter (Anastasia Hunter who supervised the programming room raved about your work). So, after watching the video and knowing you had to edit it, at about 4:00 mark in, you have pinned a piece of foam to the chest piece. I understand that this is to get the curve to the piece that attaches to the chest. I then watched you transfer the curve to paper and viola at 5:32, you have that paper piece that connects to the chest. My question is how did you determine how "wide" to make that piece of paper and while i understand the mechanics of the first line you drew, how did you the "back" line to create that pattern?? Pardon my detailed question, but I only cut my first piece of Foam yesterday :D . I've already watched all of your Foam Armor videos and I'm taking lots of notes :D
Hello Sir, You you should Join the Foam Fanatics. A great friendly group of fellow makers that are there to help. Be sure to answer the two questions before joining. facebook.com/groups/EvilT...
I freaking love your videos!!! I'm going to comic con next year and I'm working on my Civil War Crossbones Cosplay, and I'm jealous of myself. I look so damn awesome in it!!!
My left ear enjoyed this video.
Use Audio Channel chrome plugin to playback left channel in mono in both ears.
No he meant that he can here the video with his one ear because the speakers for the phones are at the bottom/right/left/ or up if your an alien
I thought my headphones were broken

Yo this helped a lot, i only had my right headphone in and thought the video was broken lol

chris rensing Ha, thank you, I'll do my best not to.
your stuff is so helpful! and all the links to tools as well! cant wait to post some of my own work based on your instruction
Bob Rursey Yes, If you buy through the links below my videos. That helps me big time. So please do so that I can make more videos.
will be sure to do just that!
I love armour but hate female armour, it is so revealing in most cases so yeah
8D
Follow the directions of the male one, fit it to your form, and mess around with the chest area until you get something you like. that's what I've found to be the best
Copy his female armour but go up into your shoulders
Thanks for your video! Your work is very professional--and I appreciate being able to learn the proper way to pattern!

thanks. your mic sucks or my headset is whack

Love your tutorial. You make me want to build something! I'm gonna need Part 2 of the Male Foam Cosplay though!
hard to watch this video with horrible audio........
amazing work, i may have to start working with foam for my outfits.
His lip smacking is hurting my brain, don't take offence, but I just don't like to listen to people eat and drink, or smack their lips 😖
Jimmy Roz misophonia? I have it too
Lip smacking is ASMR for me. I love it.
I dont know why but it was reaaally picking Up when he was swallowing >
that lip smacking is punching me in the face each time
It was really hard for me to follow what he was saying. The smacking completely distracted me.
it shouldn't be hard seeing the stuf you make.you are awesome
So simple and so incredible. Can't wait to try this out!

Evil Ted Smith Dude you are my new god I have never built armor before thats NOT made out of paper so this is a effing huge help. Having to make 3 full armor sets before the con is going to kill me >
Awesome video! Can't wait for part 2.

been looking for a good tutorial and this one takes the cake!...great job and thank you for putting the links for the matterials!!!
Thanks for that part with the chest piece and how to angle it. It creates a nice 3d effect (gonna make a male armor, although I am female). Your videos are always fun to watch! :)
+Lindsay Oosterbosch Thank you for subscribing.
I’m trying to make WarGreymon armor. I’m trying to make it in a few months. Gonna take a lot of time though.
Stick to it. You'll get it done.
I bet Ted gets paid BIG for this kind of stuff! Or else I'd ask him to do the armor for my archangel from my books I write. Amazing job, and great talent man!
I've been waiting for this! Thanks Ted!
Evil Ted, you're a great teacher; thanks a lot for your lessons (I hope you post much more in the future =D ). Your videos are very educative, they show real thing step by step (we feel like we're making all those things with you =D).
Fabiano Cardoso Thank you, and thank you for subscribing.
Videos are long, and necessarily so!!! Despite this you do an excellent job cutting out the bits of video where we can tell what you're doing to save time. You've earned a new sub, keep up the awesome work.
+Kyle Harden Thank you for subscribing.
This is the best tutorials, thank you for sharing!
+erincookie1959 You're welcome, thank you for subscribing.
This is awesome! I'm making some similar tech armor so I've been following along with you and make a baseline, then I'll probably do one the way I want it after I've practiced on your video. Thanks a lot!
I hope I make my own armor soon . this year on Halloween because I'm planning to dress up like emperor Zurg for Halloween. I think.
Sounds like a plan.
@@EvilTedSmith yeah because I'm tired of people dressing up like Sid.
Hello Ted (from a Ted). Great work and keep 'dem videos coming!!
I met you a few weeks back at Anime Los Angeles and you set me on this path with my daughter (Anastasia Hunter who supervised the programming room raved about your work). So, after watching the video and knowing you had to edit it, at about 4:00 mark in, you have pinned a piece of foam to the chest piece. I understand that this is to get the curve to the piece that attaches to the chest. I then watched you transfer the curve to paper and viola at 5:32, you have that paper piece that connects to the chest. My question is how did you determine how "wide" to make that piece of paper and while i understand the mechanics of the first line you drew, how did you the "back" line to create that pattern??
Pardon my detailed question, but I only cut my first piece of Foam yesterday :D . I've already watched all of your Foam Armor videos and I'm taking lots of notes :D
Hello Sir, You you should Join the Foam Fanatics. A great friendly group of fellow makers that are there to help.
Be sure to answer the two questions before joining.
