- How to make Dragon Ball Z Saiyan Cosplay Foam Armor
One of the things I always loved about Dragon Ball Z were the Saiyan Armors. So I decided to build this Saiyan Foam Cosplay Armor using EVA Foam mats and Pepakura Foam File Templates. I then painted it by hand. You can paint it with spray paints and such and weather it.
You can also add battle damage. (Which I will cover in a future video for this project.

Stealth and Kamui cosplay are the best I swear! Stealth was the reason I started doing pepakura, so major props for stealth, changed many people's lives I think
Also 4:15
This must be the sign all the greats do, because she does this as well, weird huh? No, it's just facts...

You're Welcome :)
Thank you for this
BatJo 76 You’re very welcome
Another work of art 😭
Thanks Kevin!
4:14 I laughed so hard 😂
I don't know why but it's funny
Cause I’m holding my boobs lol.
This is amazing!!! You should totally do battle damage! 👏
Thanks Maria! Im going to build a new one and do it for battle damage. Maybe the one with the shoulder pads.
Heroes Workshop yeeeeees pleeeaaaaseeee! I’d flip!! Hahaha
i used hot glue once on my first attempt ,
never again as when i used my dremmel on it the friction warmed up the glue and then i had to try and correct the correction lol great tut' keep up the great vids
"This is stealth from the hero tutorials" words I've missed for so long :')
Long time ago :)
Can you do star Wars the old republic Jedi armor
my suggestion, how about adding a white neck guard/ collar, then the shoulder guards from the original saiyan armor, but drooped down ( not jutting upward) so it really covers the biceps, gold armor parts as side skirts and a bit of the gold/ yellow armor for the white gloves and boots...that would improve or give an updated look!
Sounds like something I wouldn’t make. You’re free to make it like that though on your own armor. 👍🏻
Looks funny on him lol
Now what I'd like to know is how to make those thigh flaps you always see on Saiyan armor. It seems like like every armor tutorial leaves that part out. That being said, this was actually a more simplistic and efficient way way to make'em, thanks!
That’s pretty easy to be honest. I want to do the Saiyan armor with the shoulder pads. That armor design has the pads on the thighs and the front center.
I always wonder how do they raise their arms with those pads
@@cromwelfulin-universe, it's explained that the armor is extremely flexible.
How thick ist the foam you used? Im gonna make one Armor with your template but cabt decide on thickness ^^
You need to be more confident in your work, cartoons are nothing to be ashamed of despite social stigma and obviously this particular violent one ended up making you an artist. I make armor and weaponry and your tutorial was pivotal in making my own metal version great. Your tutorial was easy to understand and even without the program, the way you displayed and he measuring system you gave made this a much easier piece.
Keep up the good work man.
Hey man what foam did you use
I'm going to make one of these but it will be black and a light green... Bardock style
I made one like that in the past. That’s my favorite Armor.
What thickness of EVA foam did you use? Also this is freaking great!!
I recommend using 1/4” for it
Amazing vid. I noticed that at the end of this video, you display that you have a tutorial on how to use pepakura on a Mac. Is that tutorial only available with this project, or can it come included with let’s say the Mandalorian helmet template?
I removed it. The method no longer worked.
Heroes Workshop thank you for your prompt reply!
Np!
How to eliminate brush strokes while applying PVA glue?
Great build btw!
Use a foam brush to reduce the amount.
Looks great! What mm of foam did you use?
Hi and thank you! I used 1/4" foam.
How much eva foam would I need on average
u litrlly naied,it bro
Thanks man!
Can you craft one red instead of yellow and more detailed for 6$
Really appreciate the tutorial! I downloaded the template and have cut out the foam pieces. I am having a LOT of trouble gluing the pieces together because their edges don't seem to attach properly. I discovered that I have to use a Dremel to create bevels in order to attach them and glue them, but I don't know which side to create the bevels and how exactly to attach them. I havent been able to find an answer online. I would really appreciate it if you, or anyone reading this can provide some pointers. thanks!
The file came with
Pepakura tutorials in a video playlist that explained this. Refer to the software when you see an angle and that's simply how you know when and where to cut a bevel to match what you see. 90 degrees angles, you cut 2 bevels. One on each edge you're connecting. For a 45 degree angle, you cut either edge, but only one edge is beveled.
Idk if there’s a possibility but maybe doing noble 6?
I’ll do one at some point in the future. Noble 6 is my favorite reach armor
Hi there this are some great vids thx. I have a question, i always have problems getting the size right on this pepa stuff. I am relativ tall and skinny and because i can only scale the templates they are ether to wide or to short. Any tips on making the template longer and not wider?
Sometimes you have to be creative and cut a section off of the part to make it fit you. The pepakura model is just a base. It's not always going to fit you perfectly. Alot of of times the models come from video games with unrealistic proportions. You have to make the modifications to certain areas to make it work. I had to do it here on this armor. I mentioned that in this video too.
@@Heroesworkshop Wow thx for the fast answer. Must have missed that in the video. So its hard work and no magic :). Happy new year to you and you robocop chest on insta looks amaaaazing!
@@Belzebub1978 Thank you very much. I'm trying really hard this year to make way more videos for the whole year and try to reply to everyone. I don't want people to be stuck on things.
Nice . I cant wear though because my Belly are Bigger than my chest. Im doing Broly amor now .
Michael Chen Broly is badass!
really OP badass .cant wait to see in 27 dec MY . Btw check out my video of SSJ3 foam wig = czcams.com/video/PlxOxRktHek/video.html
I make a few foam saiyan wigs before but that thing you made is awesome!
First! Two videos in a row!
Ken Leung more to come!
You think you do bardock’s suit the one where he’s wearing the mask?
I've done Bardock's armor for a cosplay for myself but not that mask version.
Cool do u have a video of it?
Hey stealth, quick question what’s the name of the foam you use for the accent edging. Is Pva glue going to work just as well?
Did you watch the video? :D
I couldn’t understand what the proper name for it was. I have a mild hearing impairment and caption sucked for this vid 😂
Ominous Cipher it's foam backer rod. I have the text for it and thickness labeled in the video if that helps. 👍🏻 check 4:32
Thanks 🙏🏽 I appreciate the help
2:15 what would happen if I just traced the peices as they where without the tape, because that is what I normally do...
More to clean up, but a better shape in the end. Foam is more flexible than paper so you don't need as many though.
Since the foam is going to be curved by heat. It will stretch a little and form to the shape it would have been if it had the seams. So it’s a win/win.
What adhesive did u use
2:45 I used contact cement but you can also use hotglue
What is the black rubber surface of the armor?
Eva foam
page not found
Hey can i get the measurements of the suit which software does it use?
You need to follow the link to the file. It comes with a free Pepakura tutorial on how to use the software.
would you have any tips for a female with large busts?
A tip would be to heat shape the pec sections in a bowl to get a better bust shape perhaps and maybe trim them to a different, more feminine shape.
But when I changed the scale from 16 to 22 which is my size the templates didn't all fit into the panels the right way
Parts aren't going to always fit in the panel. Just print it if it overlaps, just cut them all out and tape the paper templates together and then trace onto foam. That's the solution. Everyone does that and that's how it's done as it's how the program works when the scale makes the templates bigger. Good luck.
What’s the thickness of the foam you used here?
I recommend 6-8mm
What material did he use for it ? Does anyone know
Eva foam
What mm is the eva foam?
I recommend 6mm and maybe 8mm for the pecs only.
ANIME IS CARTOOOOOON!
Indeed.
I wonder if its possible to make it with elastic like in the anime so you. An just take it off like a shirt
Like foam or some kind of hard armor like material inside of an inside and outside layer of elastic
@@murderlesson101 Inside of an inside? you lost me.
Beardshire like... one later on the outside of a spandex/ stretchy material then on the inside the foam peices that are fitted to your shape and attached somehow so they wont move, and then an inner layer thats also stretchy material
Ive litterally put thought into that concept since i was 13 and havent seen a single person do it differently
Beardshire but i mean like how plate carriers hold in body armor
Can you provide a link to where you get that foam?
@@Heroesworkshop Thanks I made my iron man suit out of some I got from hobby lobby but your always looks so nice. I was one of the kickstarters that got a helmet from you a few years back. Thanks for all the help!
@@ninjaboy360 So cool! Thanks for the long time support. I appreciate it. :)
Do you need a 3d printer to print the templates?
@@Heroesworkshop im just having trouble opening the file, is there a special program you use?
Do you have a fabric template?
No. Sorry
Does pepakura design software included with purchasing of template?
I’m not affiliated with Pepakura. So no, it wouldn’t be included. I’m assuming you’re an absolute beginner at all this. Watch this in depth video tutorial to find out how to install it for use for free and also the main point of that video is you teach you how to use the software and build with the foam templates. czcams.com/video/vRrfclFDiS0/video.html The only difference from free version and paid version is that you need to buy it to save any scaling edits. So if you get into the hobby, it’s worth it. I’ve used it for over 10 years and they still update it to this day.
@@Heroesworkshop awesome thanks this helps a lot
No problem. Welcome to the hobby.
what size foam is that , I NEEED ANSWERSSS PLEASSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!♥
I used 1/4 inch foam :)
Anyone know the thickness of eva foam he used?
I used 6mm foam
@@Heroesworkshop youre the best thanks. This is going to be my first attempt at building a costume
Good choice for a first build. Just don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It’s how you learn and get better at it.
@@Heroesworkshop definitely gotta lean into the mistake. Already had to settle for 5mm foam but thats the fun of it
Dude do you sell these?
No, sorry. I only sell the template to make it with this tutorial video.
Also couldnt you just trace the templates without fusing the seams? Maybe just scale it down a bit
But then you'll have to cut and glue those seams when they're on the foam and you'll see the seams a lot when it's painted and it'll look bad. The point is to fuse them to achieve a seamless clean look.
I've painted my foam with pva glue and it ends up cracking and looking terrible. Even at 50/50.
use plastidip to seal the foam works a lot better
@@AngelLoeza Ya, that's what i've always used, pva glue is cheaper, just doesn't work for me.
I always use a few light coats to seal the pores, then plastic-dip once it's dry. It's given me a more even coat for the final paint, in my experience.
Beardshire try the “Tacky Glue” brand from Walmart or Modge podge.
@@Heroesworkshop Ok, I will try that one, I really want to make one of these to wear just for fun, or because it's tuesday.
hola soy de argentina
Hola, soy de Canada
Do you have the templates?, can you passme please ..very god video by the way. ^_^
The templates are linked in the description.
But the templates are paid😢
Yes. Buying templates supports the channel. It helps to make more future videos and new templates.
thank you very much .. I am going to buy the templates .. your video is very good but I do not understand much English I speak Spanish and I do not understand the part of the dimensions of the armor, please could you explain it to me? and please if you can make the broly armor your armor is great.
Looks awesome dude! I tried 3D printing Saiyan armor for a paragus cosplay. Actually turned out better than I thought it would. Check it out if you get a chance! Keep it up!!!
Will do right now!
That looks amazing Parsa!
Heroes Workshop thanks man! And can’t wait to see more of your work. Good to have you back and posting 🤘🏻
What about bardocks armor?
Is pepakura free? Probably not right
Yes and no. You can use it free but It won't save any setting changes you make if you scale it up or down from the original file setting. You'll have to leave the software open as you build it and not close it. I bought it in 2009 and I've gotten way more than what I paid out of it for years
So just google pepakura and it should be simple to install?
Sell this shit on etsy bro.
I sell the templates on heroesworkshop.com. I don't really want to be an armor factory though. It'll kill my motivation for other projects. I like doing"one offs" now. :)
