Foam Genericmav Rakshasa build

[genericmav]

Greetings everyone

Dedicating this thread for my work in progress of Rakshasa armor core build.
The main idea is for this armor to be as comfortable as possible for prolong cosplay session

Will be using this design as my guideline, the plan is to build ODST-ish design Rakshasa (i know its pretty common nowadays but hell yes)

materials: 5mm-8mm eva foam
expected build time: within 2 months
color scheme: black and white

Rakshasa body armor build

As you all know, Rakshasa has a very different concept of being just an armor plate on top of bodysuit (compared to others, a full armor suit)

Hence i will be using Andrew DFT armor template as the base, then sticking the Rakshasa armor plate on top

Rakshasa body armor detailing

with the plate now attached, I proceed to freehand some straps and minor detailing to give more depth to this base armor.
most of the strappings are done using 3mm foam

With some help from fellow 3D modeler, i had this piece unfolded for foam use

Rakshasa Thigh piece

Rakshasa thigh is pretty much straightforward, nothing too drastic. Simple yet provide space for attachments and also space for your leg.
My only concern would be "how much padding do i need for this?"

As usual, each of the thigh pieces will get magnet attachment point for mounting stuffs

Amazing foam work! Are you building the helmet out of foam as well?

Already working on it, tho im still undecided whether to go with Firefall or Buck's Spartan helmet

How did you mount it to the chest layer? Do you put a block of 2 foam rectangles under it like in the DFT ODST build? Also do you think this would look good if I put it on top of the DFT underlayer chest piece? I like the look of this a lot more, but idk if lore wise it would make sense.

im thinking of mounting it using elastic strap + buckle, so that it can be detach whenever i need to

also, speaking of lore, if you're aiming for certain character, you need(have to?) follow the character design.
BUT, if you're building your own spartan/odst, its up to your creativity to mix match everything you want to.

so in my opinion, its really up to you. you love the design, go for it

Ya estoy trabajando en ello, aunque todavía estoy indeciso si usar Firefall o el casco espartano de Buck.

i havent build it yet, but sure you can have it. some parts still need to do a little bit of freehand (especially the forehead part)

Did you upscale it at all? I printed it out and the invidivual parts look pretty small compared to my DFT chestplate

Hi, do you know where I can find the rakshasa armour templates? I've been looking everywhere and cannot find any available ones.
