Costume build

[Markalorian]

Hey 

I have started building my costume. I have gotten most of my underclothes done i just need to find some gloves to get. I have gotten templates for all the armour marked out on bits of paper. I have started cutting out the armour on EVA foam. I have 2 different designs for the shoulder and for the chest plate. If anyone has any ideas or opinions on how to make it better or how to do something please let me know.

Picture of whole outfit so far

This is 2 designs i have made for the shoulders, if I could get everyone's opinion on which one looks better or if you have a different design can you let me know.

This is 2 different chest plate designs if anyone can let me know which would look better or if you have a different design that looks or suits better to my costume can you let me know.

Do you know which Deathwatch mando you are building yet? That will help determine the design for the shoulder armour. Follow the CRL for the build you are doing and that will help with which patterns to use. Double check if EVA foam is 501st approvable. I don’t think it is but I could be wrong. Might be better using ABS or PVC. Looking forward to seeing your build progress

I have looked through the data banks and this is the Mandalorin costume that I want to create.

If I try to make a costume from the Costume Reference Library is there like blueprints or templates available somewhere for the bits?
