Can we get an armor thread started? Haven't seen one in a while.
What materials do you use? Are you looking into trying a new technique? What new armor project do you want to start that's intimidating you? Have you found a cosplayer that is inspiring you to go further?
Armor free for all go!

anyone know where i can buy/ custom order an "authentic" armor set from?
something made of real metal that also doesn't look trashy?
If you're looking for some pretty cheap foam mats to build off of, This site :
http://www.foamtiles.com/color-tiles.html
Has them for 1.21 on their 50% off sales per square foot. Definitely worth looking into if you're kinda broke.

You could go to a website like medieval collectables for stuff you can just buy. or look around SCA forums to find some armorsmiths for custom stuff. Understand though that it isn't going to be cheap. A friend of mine got a helmet and chestplate custom-made and it ran him about $700 for just that. It looks great though.
