Thanks, glad to hear it! Have fun with your build! :)

The senate guards are to cool!

Thank you! :)

Thank you! I'm glad I could inspire you to get into the hobby!

Thanks man! Hoping to see you again next Comiccon!

Thanks!

Thank you! It's normal not to end up with a good result your first time working with foam. It took me year to get to this.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks a lot! :)

Thanks for the nice comment!

Thanks!

Thank you! :)

Hey thank you!

Thanks! It's a really fun project, you would not regret it. Just know that it takes a lot of time to make something like this :)

@@TristanMaker yeah I guess, how long it take to you ? Actually, I think also about the furniture, maybe it will be difficult to find in my country. You bought all of the furniture in a Home center or in a kind a DIY shop ? (Sorry for my English, it's not my native language so maybe I use some incorrect word sometimes ^^). By the way thanks for your reply and support.

Haha thanks man! :)

He will eventually... I have just recently become interested in scratch building SW armor made with EVA foam. I am tempted to make a Ralph McQuarrie/Doug Chiang/Jon Favreau inspired Star Wars suit of armor... Perhaps a Phase I TC - Mandolorean - Republic Commando-hybrid suit... In white, of course.

Wow haha thank you! :)

I agree. Frankly, he has basically convinced me to try my hand at more elaborate end results with EVA. Twelve years ago, I made TC boots with EVA velcro'd onto $14.99 tennis shoes from Walmart. Painted with latex white paint for walls. Looked like vinyl or lower grade leather once completed... Sadly, my computer was stolen 3 years ago and I did not have a great many things with no back up... lost forever. Pics of all my versions of boots lost forever. But, now this young man made putting a full TC suit assembly taking only a couple of days. And it looks amazing. I now believe in what he is espousing.

Thank you! :)

Haha thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you!

They are a great option. I thought about those but they are pretty expensive for the amount you get. In the spirit of this channel, I chose to recommend a cheaper option.

I would like this too!

Awesome thanks!

Thank you! For what's coming next, how about Boba Fett? :)

That's what I was going for hahaha!

@@TristanMaker it looks so cool

Thanks!

Thank you for your support! I buy my foam from True North Cosplay. They ship internationally, but you might want to find a local foam supplier to avoid paying too much for shipping. Lumins Workshop is also a foam supplier that ships internationally.

Thanks! Yeah I love watching SKS paint things, he always uses amazing techniques.

Great question :) just commenting here so I get a notification when he answeres :P

Cool! It depends on a lot of things, but mine probably cost around 300 - 400$ Canadian to build.

Cool! You can use grey plastidip (3 coats) or watered down modpodge (5 coats) to seal the foam. Then if you want to use spray paint, the rust oleum 2x line works great. You could also use good quality acrylic paint. After that you can seal the paintjob with rust oleum 2x clear in matte or satin.

@@TristanMaker Thank you!!

Thanks! I didn't keep track of everything, but using the same products I did including everything to build and paint it, it was around 250$ canadian.

Alright, thank you. Also, this is my first time making something out of EVA foam, so how difficult was it, like, is it do-able?

And also, sorry to bug, but I am a complete beginner, so the helmet, and project overall, is a new subject for me.

@@jonahs2908 I am also a beginner to foam ,and i have to say that it is very simple to make compared to cardboard. I completed and painted the top half of my clone trooper armor in just 2 days

I'd say the armor is totally doable for a beginner if you take your time. Helmets are a bit more difficult but by making the armor first, you should gave enough practice to tackle the helmet.

Unfortunately I scratch built the pieces so I don't have templates for them.. They are pretty easy to make so I'm sure you would be able to make them.

For the undersuit I just used black pants and a black turtle neck shirt. The shoe covers are simple trapezoidal parts. You should be able to make those easily without a template.

I 3D printed it from a file from Galactic Armory for an ARC Trooper helmet. It's mounted on a screw and nut to make it swivel.

I used a chrome paint for the scratches because I like the look. But as far as I know, clone armor is just a type of plastic that comes in white or black for the umbra ARC trooper. If you look at the clones in Battlefront, the armors have scratches that are the same color as the surface, indicating that the material is a white or black plastic. But no cosplay has to be 100% accurate, so just have fun and find a finish you like, just like I did. :)

They are 1 inch neodynium magnets from Amazon

Awesome! Unfortunately sitting in the armor is really hard, but doable. And depending on how you sit, you might damage the butt piece a little bit. And if you have already worn an armor before, you'll see that this one doesn't get as hot as others because there is a lot of air flow. If you have never worn an armor before, it's gonna take some getting used to how hot it is.

Ok, thank you for the answer

I'm from Canada so I get my foam from True North Cosplay. If you live in the United States, I recommend getting it from TNT Cosplay Supplies or Blick Art Materials.

I use contact cement.

I'm just wearing a turtle neck long sleeve shirt and workout pants. Wearing such and armor is just hot and you kinda have to live with it hahaha

For a full armor I 100% recommend using foam. It's cheaper, easier and faster to make and will be much more comfortable to wear.

@@TristanMaker thanks so much!

Unfortunately I don't have any templates for those parts. But they are pretty easy parts to make so I'm sure it's something you would be able to do yourself.

On my armor yes, but you might want to connect them with velcro to make it easier to put on and take off.

No, the helmet is sold separately as a different listing.

They attach with velcro right under the belt on the cod piece and butt plate

Yep, just velcro for that part too. But it sits right under the belt which makes it look like it's between the belt and butt plate.

Aw this is very smart ! Thank you !

It's 1" wide nylon webbing. You can get it at fabric stores and hardware stores or even online.

@@TristanMaker thx man

It took me around 2 months working nights and weekends

I order my foam from True North Cosplay. It's medium density foam.

Unfortunately no, I was in a bit of a rush to finish the armor so I didn't have time to make the ARC trooper add-ons.

Unfortunately I don't sell the files for the ARC Trooper parts, only the ones for a basic clone trooper armor

Nope, you can make everything out if EVA foam :)

What if it doesn’t fit any tips on modifying the template to fit the owner

I show how to trim parts of the armors in the build videos

If you're talking about the ARC Trooper parts, they are not included in the templates.

@@TristanMaker any Chance to get those?

Unfortunately I didn't make any templates for them so you'll have to make them from scratch. Thankfully the design is pretty simple so it shouldn't be hard.

Yes I am!

No I don't have one. I answer my DM's on Instagram if you have more questions.

Yes, that's the one I used to make my armor. The template doesn't come with the ARC trooper parts since I quickly made them from scratch.
