Hello.
I am a newbie at this kind of stuff so I have came here to ask for help. I am currently wanting to create an Elite costume. If anyone could help me that would be great.

We usually use pepakura models for armour, but I don't think there's a lot of elite pep models, so what I suggest is a scratch build. You can do this out of cardboard or foam.
