MJOLNIR Armor 1st Time

[Seno Ypsamee]

OK guys, I'm going to start on a cardboard set of armor using the pepakura patterns to guide me, and I was just wondering what kind of stuff do I need to use besides cardboard and paint to ensure that it will stay together, and about how much roughly will it end up costing me?

I also wanted to know if any of you guys had any pointers for a first time MJOLNIR armor maker.

Thanks in advance for the help .

EDIT: sorry for posting two topics, stupid internet <.<.

Eh. Like that helps.
For cardboard, I reccomend using a fine grit sandpaper, hot glue, and some bondo body filler for the 'cracks'.
I'm not sure, never did cardboard.

Thanks, oh, and I just have one more question for someone who has made a pepakura suit before, does it all fit together? Or should I buy a spandex suit or something of the sort to put it all on?

your going to need to get something to attach it too. i would recomend going the cardstock route to get the detail, you'll be much happier with the end result.
