Hello hello! New person here wishing to make as much of my outfit as I can. By this I mainly mean any hard bits such as the armour, the helmet, and the chestbox.
But I have absolutely no idea how to go about this. Would anyone be able to help? Right now I'm really just looking for tips for the armour and its straps (which I would like to be plastic as well.)
I'm sure I could just make a mock-up for the armour by eye and out of paper? But- I'm unsure of how good or bad an idea that is.
