  • How to Make Gears of War cosplay chest armor out of Foam! In this series I will be creating Marcus Fenix's armor from Gear of War 1 & 2. In this particular video I am making the under armor. A generic chest armor template that people could customize to make a variety of different Gears of War characters. This chest armor is designed into modular pieces that can easily be customized to fit each individual maker. I do have free PDF templates of the chest under armor available on my website if you'd like to make your own. In part 2 I will continue this cosplay armor build by adding detail panels to the front of the chest.

    Yes! Getting the geometry of a properly fitting chest armor structure is a huge hurdle for a lot of foamsmiths. I'll definitely be utilizing this in the future. Huge time saver!

    This is such a great tutorial. I've made this Marcus armor, but it was from all the cheap foam I had around the shop already. It turned out pretty cool, but it doesn't sand or smooth very well. I now have my first supply of your HD foam and its amazing so far! It's more dense and solid but still easily cuttable and the edges come out really nice. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us!

      I don't think anything will top my full scale gears of war theron guard from years ago but Marcus fenix's armor should be a fun build. I don't have plans on making any of the others at this time but you know me I jump from project to project so who knows for the future

    Nice! I can see how this would be a good base for almost any type of armor. I'm built funny so it's always a struggle getting chest armor to fit me correctly. This will help. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build evolution. And of course the seeming gallons of paint you will be layering on. *grins* My paint supply always suffers when I paint like you do.

    Maaan, I was working on a GoW-esque space marine Mario cosplay earlier this year. Having a tutorial like this back then would have been a major help, and maybe it would have turned out better.

      On the paper template you adjust the parts to fit you…Otherwise change the scale in adobe acrobat or adobe reader in the print options area if you need to
