This is amazing. I'm excited to see how those gloves turn out, I saw the same thingiverse file a while back and didn't think it would work too well, but they look great from the photos. Keep up the good work man.

Hey all, it's been forever since I last posted, and I mainly got caught up with schoolwork and other activities, so for a good few months I didn't make much progress on the armor at all. I've recently picked the work back up, though, and have been slowly making the torso of the suit. Making the...

Another quick update: Both shoulder pieces have just been finished, and are being held together with pegs (I plan on gluing them soon, not sure whether contact cement will work or if I should go for epoxy). My progress on the left arm has been both promising and frustrating- the forearm gauntlet...

Seeing the progress from just a few weeks ago to now is amazing, keep up the incredible work!

Looks good! I just got started on making the left arm pieces, but its a bit of a trial-and-error process, considering this is the very first time i've ever worked with foam. I've been having a bit of trouble with using contact cement, but I think I'll get better with it over time. Your suit's...

That's amazing! Thank you so much for all of your suggestions and tips! You're pretty much the only other person actively working on a praetor suit that I've seen so far, so I'd love to see more of your progress as you go along! I'll definitely look into adding those horizontal straps to the...

Another update! It's been almost 2 weeks since I started this project, and with the rate at which progress is coming along, its shaping up to be a lot bigger of a project than I originally expected (which is great! I'm having tons of fun doing it). Over the past few days, I've realized that it...

Yeah great idea! I plan to do most of the gluing outside and with some proper protection, thanks for the tip!

I'm working on the same suit myself; how have you progressed so far? Did you finish the suit in time for the convention?

I'm working on the same project. I bought a model of basically the entire suit off of Etsy for only 10 bucks, and it has every pepakura file you would need to make the entire suit out of EVA foam. If you'd rather 3D print the suit, however, you can also do so, because this one guy uploaded a...

It's been a few days, and mostly I've been waiting for materials to arrive in the mail. Today some sheets of EVA foam arrived along with some filament for my printer; I had printed the left shoulder of the armor using a model I found off of thingiverse to see if I wanted to go with 3d printed...

Hello all! I'm very new to this community--created my account just yesterday. I'm also new to cosplay, as I've always wanted to get into it but never had any chance to until now. I plan to make this cosplay for next year's Anime Expo, so that way I have a ton of time to prepare and won't have to...
