    Vacuu-forming if you know how to do it. I don\'t.

    How I did it, although it may sound silly, is followed the guide on one website, that told me to make them out of placemats.

    Yes, I said it. Placemats.

    It might sound stupid , but I think they work great. If you follow the template on one site, you can design a armor that is identical to the one worn on film, except that instead of plastic, it will be made out of pliable rubber. You then prime them and spray paint them a shiny gloss coat of black and steel. I put actual steel rods under my armor to reinforce it. What ends up happening is that you arne\'t as confined as you would be in a plastic armor suit like most have. You can turn your shoulders and the armor conforms to you. In stead of the other way around...

    Now, upclose, if someone manhandles you, they\'ll obviosuly tell that it isn;t of the greatest material. But I think it worked for my costume. One day I might buy the plastic of fiberglass armor, but considering that I wanted an ANH costume, 75% of the armor wasn\'t going to show anyways cosndiering that in an ANH costume, the undercape goes OVER the armor.
