My Cardboard Armor

[TastyBread]

Hey everyone, several people have told me about this site so I thought I would share a little project that I've been playing with. I work at a Trader Joes in Scottsdale AZ, and because all of our product comes in cardboard boxes, I decided that I would use that to make my costume. I started it a while back but I have since made a lot of changes. For one the helmet:

Old:

New:

I've also made an AR

And a Spartan Laser

It's cost me less than $50 to build so far and all I've needed is a few paint brushes, hot glue, magnets (to attach the weapons) and exacto knife to put it all together. It's been a lot of fun and after seeing all the costumes made on this site, I am completely humbled by everyone elses designs. I'm still working on it and I'll post some action poses of the finished piece, but I hope you guys approve of what I have so far.

Thanks for inviting me to your forums.

Thanks, I'm really impressed with the community here. I've been making a lot of changes with my costume, especially when considering that everything that I've learned since the beginning of the project. Now I have to go back and fix up the stuff that I made in the beginning to bring it back up to the quality of the laser in my opinion. Fits better on my body though, and that's a very big deal to me. Cant wait to show you guys.

Oops, sorry guys but I just realized that this thread probably should have gone in the Pepakura and Cardboard Armor section. Could someone move it for me? Thanks; still trying to get a feel for the site.

Hey, someone over at HLFallout said that my armor was on G4. Did anyone see it; is it online because I missed it?

Sick man, I was hoping you would join this place. The helmet is nice but I still have to say that the spartan Laser is your best yet.

 

[Soulmemories]

Oh my god TastyBread, you are the king of cardboard creations.

In china, some food suppliers sell cardboard instead of food, so your name TastyBread makes sense to me.


I saw you on DIGG, and a dude replied, "If you want to build your own armor out of cardboard, go to http://mjolnirarmor.com/forums.

Because of you, I found this place, and you just now joined it.

just a question were did u get ur visor

The first one was just a transparency that I sprayed with Testors Transparent paint that you can find at any hobby shop. The second one is just strips of cardboard that I will overlay with plastic and paint.

 

[Sarge Christi]

Nice job, I'm liking your work.

 

[Vips44]

Hey, Nice armor. I'm looking to to make some cardbord armor. Did you use pepakura on it or did you just wing it? Do you have any other tips? Thanks
