I sprayed a first coat of the stuff all over the foam to seal it all up so I could paint it with a 'stainless steel' paint I got from the automotive store near my work. This was all pre paint in which I couldn't find any plasti dip at the stores around me so I had to use a rubberized spray which just looked like it was a off brand plasti dip. I had to also do layering on here for the shoulder pieces. So after I cut all the sticky backed craft foam, eva foam out and carved the layers with a dremmel here is the pieces hot glued together (next time i'll use barge cement): I sat and hand sketched onto the paper the changes I needed to make and cut out the front into several pieces, the bottom (which was the whole pattern) the 2 chest pieces that hold the 'discs' (which I cut out after I had marked the bottom piece).

With that being said I sat down at the table and looked at the front armor and realized that a.)I wasn't going to do a cape b.) I didn't like the pointy things at the top of the shoulders c.) I had to make this thing have levels since I wasn't going to paint the levels in by hand. After that I printed everything out and it sat rolled up on my computer cabinet for a week or 2, after which I accumulated all the eva foam and items I thought I needed to complete the task. This led me to import the front armor piece and scale it accordingly, which wasn't too hard but I did have to tweak the scale a little to make it fit. Once I got a pic of my son imported in (holding a tape measure out to his side showing 12' of tape) I scaled him correctly and got all of my front measurements copied down. The one thing that I didn't have was the back piece I had planned to use Jeremy Love's back armor design and I did to the best of my ability.

From them I got the line work for the front armor piece and the bracers, which helped me tremendously since I could bring them into my CAD software and scale them correctly and print them to a large format printer to make full size templates.

In doing my research I couldn't scale the movie costumes and concept art correctly, which moved me to look at the 'oct and rules cosplay blog' (I cant remember their rpf tag or I would directly reference them). With these 2 ideas I had to meld them together and scale them correctly for my son who is 7 and is pretty tall for his age (I can't remember exact right now). The plan was do a Thor Cosplay based on 2 sets of concepts the first being the latest movie (the darkworld) and the second concept was Jeremy Love's concept work for the avenger's 2 movie which the artwork was shown on several websites.

But, as the spring turned into summer and time dwindled (my wife and I had a baby = no sleep for a couple of months) I realized that I only had time to make my son's costume. Which led me down the road of wanting to do a cosplay (which I have always wanted to do since I was turned onto the whole idea). Onto my first cosplay maker experience, this started several months ago when I vowed to go to the comic expo here in Cincinnati. this is such a great resource and community! I love it here as I have come across projects that I couldn't move forward with until I looked up the answer here. I came to this site based on the podcasts of Adam Savage and some other podcasts that mentioned the site. So, I am a first time poster and long time lurker to the RPF.
