There's a few things you need to know before you begin:
1. its tough
2. it can be expensive(depends if its molded armor or not)
3. it requires hard work and dedication
4. It requires Love, Armor that is not made out of love is worthless.
5. if you make the armor yourself, and you've tried your best, its great, you've accomplished something awesome, and you should wear it proudly!!!!!!!!!
Good Luck.
