Hello all, I just would like to discuss with some of the members about moulding armour and the materials you use. So first off, Whats used to make the mold? What could be used for the shell? Is there any specific materials to use, or could you use any moulding foam and shell. Now for casting armour. I'm pretty sure you would need to slush cast the armour right? Also, I know some people would cast them into a resin plastic, but I was wondering if there is any foam or rubber that could do the job? I want to try to accomplish a full body set of armour but have it stunt ready to take abuse. Kind of what they had for Forward unto Dawn and the Deliver Hope Trailer. Thanks!
 
You would probably be better off making a suit with foam. In this video, I'm pretty sure that suit is made out of foam except for the MC helmet. I definitely can say this suit has taken a beating after the stunts in this vid. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur6hSy7DWXw

Don't worry, there is a alternate ending. The way it should be!
