How to Make Male Foam Cosplay Armor, Tutorial Part 1

I'm the Evil Ted who makes props and costumes. I’ve worked on Star Trek Into Darkness, Walking Dead, Fifth Element and Guyver, among lots of others. I've made pretty much everything out of every material, but foam is my favorite.

I'm here to share my skills and shortcuts, and help you learn how to make foam costumes and props, too.
