How to Make a Breastplate (Part 1: The Front)

Image
I guess I will warn you at the beginning that you would not be able to move your arms as much with this model, but it would protect you better. So, it seems to me that the breastplate is one of the most important parts of a set of cardboard armor. (I'll be honest with you; I've got two full sets, and I'm making a third one because I've outgrew the other two.) Well, let's ump right in! The first thing you would need to do is to make sure you have enough cardboard. Breastplates need a lot of cardboard. Also a lot of hot glue. make sure you have enough! (A roughly estimated amount would be enough to build and glue a cubish box two and a half feet wide.) This is very complicated to explain, and I have two models, so I will just show you the model I used to build a costume of the armor of Genghis Khan.

Once bent, they will just lean over to one side and stay there until the bent part gets torn off. And trust me, that is not fun, especially if you are in the middle of a gladiator match with your violence-loving sister.     I've made quite a few cardboard swords, yet my method may not be the best. The swords still break eventually, but at least they will not need as muck repair if one just traced the form of a sword on cardboard and cut it out. (Tried that, did that, and it failed.)      Okay! If you made it this far, applause for you. Now let's jump into it! Step 1: Getting a Backbone     This is critical for the durability of your sword. I ...
