My left ear enjoyed this video.

This is the best cosplay armor tutorial I've ever seen! It's exactly what I need, but I'm afraid it's too difficult for me to make it,but...Let's give it a try! Thank you for such amazing tutorial!

This guy is awesome...I watched this very vid and started with a chest plate...it was for my 7 yr old son...I studied this video along with the other parts...worked well and I'm humble...thanks a million Mr. Smith

Really great Tutorial Ted, it's great to see an In-depth look at how to create some really realistic looking armor from EVA foam. And I also loved your platform boots tutorial, that's something I've never seen before. Hope to see more

This tutorial is absolutely what I need for my first EVA armor piece! Thank you so much! My fiancé (who isn't a crafter) and I love your videos!

These videos of yours are just great. Simple, informative, elegant, I'm learning a lot from you! Much love from Hungary.

I'm glad you posted a new video! Thank you for all the great tips and tricks in creating cosplay, you do amazing work. Can't wait to see part 2!

I lost my words ... Man, your tutorial is really amazing ! I'm greeting that you put it on youtube. It learn me a lot.

made my first Eva foam weapon. Armour is next. watching your videos has been a huge help. this stuff is great to work with. thank you

What you did for us is simply unbelievable !!! Thank you so much ! You're videos are really helpfull and gave us an incredible motivation for working harder ! Thank you Ted !

Thanks! I watched all your videos from the very beginning like 2 months ago, now i bought the tools even X-ACTO and heat gun also the barge cement, now I'm working on my project, the armor of Lighting in final fantasy XIII-2 and so far so good! credits all to you, Angel Ted lol.

Ted I can’t thank you enough for making this easy step by step video. Iv watch a bunch of different videos trying to pick up the technique but this video put all the pieces together on what I was doing wrong. Cheers!

Ted that was excellent, I have needed an excuse to get myself a blowtorch and I think I just found one. Can't wait for part 2.

Oh dude this is great. Helping me so much to get my ideas together.

This is an awesome tutorial! Thank you for also leaving links to everything you use!! After watching this at least 5 times, I am ready to give my first foam armor a go!

You're so kool. I thought it would be way harder to do something like this but you made it look doable and even explained it in an easy to understand way. Thank!!

Great video but your mic seems really off centre. It's so extreme it feels like I'm deaf. Worst of all its not even mono so the right sound comes in occasionally which worsens the effect.

I just want to say hi from Colombia, this tutorial is gonna be very hepful for my halloween project this year. tank you very much.

Just bought a fully adjustable body form for $40, so now I can start making my armor. Thank you so much for this video series!!

i followed the link for the barge cement and amazon presented me with 20 items commonly purchased together (all clearly for building cosplay armour!) Brilliant

Great video Ted!!

+Evil Ted Smith I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how to make nightwing armor?

Excellent video. The improved sound and especially the editing make it very, very watchable and easy to understand what you're doing! Great job. Thanks.

One of the best foam videos I've seen. Keep inspiring!

This is so helpful, thanks a lot from France Ted!

This may be a stretch due to resources and materials, but Ted would you consider doing specific cosplay types for a multitude of genres. Making something sleek for a cyberpunk cosplay with thinner materials or a ridiculously over the top fantasy style costume for people who wanna go balls to the walls in those regards. I think it would be awesome to watch in creation.

You, sir, are my hero.

Thanks for all the links they're perfect for a beginner like me to jump right in! Subbed.

I hope you can make tutorial for making a sword using EVA foam.

I'm thinking of doing a metal sonic cosplay, and the chest goes out from both back and front. so do you have any suggestions on how to do that?

Dear Evil Ted. Thank's SO MUCH for making these AWESOME videos and tutorials!! I'm and old costume maker from a few decades ago, who had a very small business, making mostly Halloween costumes for people (at ridiculously low prices). I'm kind of embarrassed when I think about the materials I used to use: Real hammered copper, bronze, and steel parts. Huge hides of thick leather, animal fur, leather straps, buckles, grommets, laces and real animal horns. I made Viking / Barbarian/ Roman/ Greek/ Medieval armor that you could "probably" actually wear into battle! I never went to a comicon or cosplay type event, but I bet we wouldn't even be allowed inside with the kind of stuff I made! How I wish I knew about the wondrous applications for FOAM when it comes to making cool costume armor! Your videos, along with those of other "Makers" , have inspired me to get back into making some costumes again, for me and one friend (so far)! His niece is getting married and she loves costuming and make up and Halloween so much, she planned her wedding to be a COSTUME BALL/ WEDDING!! How much fun does THAT sound like?? She specifically ASKED for us to make something cool, just like the stuff we made when she was just a little kid, and was actually inspired by our costumes! I cannot possibly let her down on her Wedding Day so I'm pulling out all the stops (as they say) to make something GORGEOUS! We're dressing up as Guardians from the video game Destiny! The Bride's husband to be, is a big fan of that game! Thanks again for ALL your tutorials and helpful hints, when working with this unbelievably versatile material! If I had one (and ONLY one) critique, about ANYTHING concerning your videos, it would be THE 45 DEGREE ANGLES! The angles you often show and describe as 45 degrees, are actually NOWHERE NEAR 45 degrees. To my eye (and I'm a machinist and a carpenter) (I know my angles!) They look more like 70/ 30 or 65/ 35 (depending on how you look at it) angles. Just sayin'! I'm kind of a stickler for details. (I'm SURE YOU of ALL people can understand!) Thanks again for all you do! It is a dream of mine, to actually meet you someday, and show you MY work! If that actually DOES EVER HAPPEN, I hope you will like and appreciate the kind of stuff I can make! Happy Making/ Happy Building Ted! and thanks AGAIN for all you do!!!

This is awesome! I'm making some similar tech armor so I've been following along with you and make a baseline, then I'll probably do one the way I want it after I've practiced on your video. Thanks a lot!

Why have I never thought to sharpen my blades on a steel instead of throwing them out... You have just changed my foam cutting life.

Him: I was inspired by natural city. Me: I was inspired by a nightwing cosplayer

So simple and so incredible. Can't wait to try this out!

So glad to have you back and a new video from you!

I need to learn how to do this cuz my brother and I are hoping to do a Make Gaige (me) and Deathtrap cosplay

I love the part where you stick the 2 pieces together o_o

I had such a crappy day today, and this just made me sooo happy! Thanks for sharing and making my night :D:D

I bet Ted gets paid BIG for this kind of stuff! Or else I'd ask him to do the armor for my archangel from my books I write. Amazing job, and great talent man!

Why is only one of my headphones working/cutting in and out

Ted, I love your videos and this one was very well edited and informative. For some reason however your audio is only coming in through the left channel. I don't know if you need to adjust your mic settings or video editing or what but it's making it a little jarring to listen to.

finally. Been slightly intimidated in building foam armour for some time but this has inspired me to at least give it a go. Thanks Evil Ted!

Evil ted ! Just want to say you are awesome! Im a first time cosplayer but have experience with everything you use. Im working on my first suit marvel cosplay and am using all your help !!! Thanks so much man !! You rock

Hey awesome tutorial Atm I'm attempting to make a garrus head (Mass effect) Any tips? lol so stuck..

Great video Ted. I can't wait to use what you've shown to make my own Cosplay armor.

Audio is way off with Headphones on apart from that great👍

I love armour but hate female armour, it is so revealing in most cases so yeah

Awesome video! Can't wait for part 2.

These videos are always a delight!

hard to watch this video with horrible audio........

His lip smacking is hurting my brain, don't take offence, but I just don't like to listen to people eat and drink, or smack their lips 😖

Dude, I cant thank you enough. Your videos are the best.

your videos are always inspiring, they help me out allot

Thanks for these. As a novice cosplayer aspiring to make my own outfits, your videos are great.

Thanks for the video and the great tips, Ted. I’m off to a really good start with my very first project.

This solved my problem with my Titan Chest piece. Thank you so much!!

Thanks for your video! Your work is very professional--and I appreciate being able to learn the proper way to pattern!

Hi Ted. My Name is Dan, i come all the way from Denmark, I was searching youtube for guides to make my own armor parts and found your totureals. you really inspired me alot to give it a try as well. I just need to found out if we got the stuff needed here in Denmark as well. i mostly thinking about the form mats. but a big thanks for posting these totureal, its really awsome. i did make a little myself, like my own battle damaged Terminator 2 chest part, molded in clay, took a cast af the molding and covered it with latex and so on, but i most deffently gonna try this as well. again, a huge thanks. from me.

So pumped for this new tutorial!!

your stuff is so helpful! and all the links to tools as well! cant wait to post some of my own work based on your instruction

Great to see how this is done, thanks Ted!

Your amazing! in 3 months I have an expo I'm going to and this is very helpful! thank you so much. I'm cosplaying mettaton from undertale and this is a great outlook for it! thank you very much.

it shouldn't be hard seeing the stuf you make.you are awesome

Man, you are so talented. Not only in techniques, but also in creativity. I'm going to make the Madara Uchiha's "armour", and your videos are fantastic for it.

amazing work, i may have to start working with foam for my outfits.

That's why I love Internet!!! thank's Evil Uncle Ted :) I've been waiting for this since I see your firts video.. U'RE AWESOME!!!

Evil Ted, you're a great teacher; thanks a lot for your lessons (I hope you post much more in the future =D ). Your videos are very educative, they show real thing step by step (we feel like we're making all those things with you =D).

I've been waiting for this! Thanks Ted!

In the instance of making a wearable chestpiece, would it make more sense to create 2 separate pieces (front and back) that attach with buckles or something, or one solid piece all the way around the form?

Just as I'm working on a similar style of Costume :D Thank you, this is really helpful :D

I freaking love your videos!!! I'm going to comic con next year and I'm working on my Civil War Crossbones Cosplay, and I'm jealous of myself. I look so damn awesome in it!!!

YEEESSSS THANK YOU! I'VE WAIT ED FOR THIS TUTORIAL THANK YOUUUU

i love this video now I have more knowledge to do my NCR ranger armor

Great tutorial! This helped me out loads. Thanks a million!

Thanks for that part with the chest piece and how to angle it. It creates a nice 3d effect (gonna make a male armor, although I am female). Your videos are always fun to watch! :)

You are the cosplay-making Bob Ross. I love your videos.
