Hey guys, I never posted anything about this, but I've been working on this armor for awhile, and I finished it for Halloween last week. I'm sure you all want pics (pics or it didn't happen =D)
So here we are, with pics-

Yes the armor is too small, thats why I went ahead and finished it for Halloween instead of taking my time.
I used a modified paper mache method- I got regular paper, put some glue on it and applied it to my piece (which was pepped from cardstock, just reinforced with regular paper). On top of that I brushed some more glue to seal and act as extra strength. A few layers really worked well.
I've got more to post, but for now this is it.
What I learned-
-Let smooth parts fold themselves
-Only strengthen the inside
-Dollar store stuff can be good
-Kilz things atleast 2 times before adding gooping amounts of glue
-Scale correctly
