I remember back in the late '90s or early 2000s, I was fascinated by classic Japanese cinema, and also by samurai armor - and there was a website that offered full-scale patterns, which I downloaded. I worked for a firm that had a large-scale plotter, so I printed them out, and got some big cardboard (they were using cardboard), and... never got any farther. So now, I was looking for the old link 🤣, and found this instead! Thank you, youtube, and thank you, SKS Props!
I’m making this and here are some modification tips for the ladies! Make the breastplate shorter, you don’t need as many plates at the bottom. This helps the breastplate to end above where our hips flare out. And make the back armour even shorter to accommodate the flaring out of our butt. If you have a larger chest, increase the height of the top half so there’s enough foam to bend around your chest.
Good afternoon Steve, I am in the middle of building this with good success so far. I am going with a matte black look instead to save money and to make it easier. Is there any matte black foam friendly spray paint you can recommend me? I am super grateful for the help you’ve gave me so far!
There isn’t any foam friendly spray paint in general. It all has to be dusted on because the foam flexes and will crack the paint. You can seal it with Plasti dip black then dust the surface with Krylon matte black primer
I’d recommend projects like my knight helmet or plague mask first just to get your feet wet. But I’ve had builders make my chainsaw man helmet as their first foam projects ever so it just really depends on you 👍

Do you know how much foam this entire build takes? I’m getting ready to start a samurai build and came across your videos. Would love to get the foam I’ll need from your website!
Hi, can you make Jojo Bizzarre Adventure part 4 Killer Queen cosplay? I've been searching but i didnt find anything to make it and you have nice talent. I want to perform it for one anime festival next year.
The opposite, the foam when laid on your chest and curved will naturally want to stick out. the circle cut out allows the foam to lay flat at the top of the chest while still taking the compound curve at the sides.
Thanks! I no longer take public commissions I just don't have the free time that is why I make the build videos to help inspire others to make their own
@@ZOV727 the armor is already scaled in the PDF again your paper size doesn't matter. Open the file in adobe acrobat or adobe reader and click poster that scales it over the paper regardless of the printers paper size

Man is a legend with the free PDFs.
Thank you 🙌🙌
Too true, most people would charge like, 6 bucks for it.
Can't wait to see you at the next con and see the completed armor, Steve. An epic build, sir. Thank you!
You’re welcome! 👍

Back is in the works 👍
No me canso de ver sus tutoriales. Espero que que haga todo la armadura completa de samurai.
Thank you! I 'm working on the back right now 🙌
You definitely need the 6ml foam to protect your chest from enemy attacks! :D
Seriously though, this is really beautiful.
Thanks! 🙌
Amazing content, I appreciate dedication to give us high quality videos!😄
You're welcome glad you enjoy the builds!

Thank you my friend! 🙌

This is amazin...makes me want to try my hand at building this...would this be a good 1st try for a first timer to eva foam armor making?
I’d recommend projects like my knight helmet or plague mask first just to get your feet wet. But I’ve had builders make my chainsaw man helmet as their first foam projects ever so it just really depends on you 👍
@SKSProps thanks! I build models - plastic, wood and cardstock models, so am curious if I can build eva foam armor..
Great work, I've been wanting to make mandalorian samari or (Ronin) armor. Can this be modified?
anything can be modified just print out the templates and redraw them how you want
Gila gila sangat realistik 👍
Thank you!
Saya sudah lama melihat chanel anda dan wow bom sangat realistik dan tidak percaya kalo membuat nya mudah pasti membutukan usahakeras dan waktu 👍 terimakasih untuk ilmu nya 😊
Awesome!! Could you make Madara uchiha version??
Doubt it, but thhose shapes are so simple you can just modify the templates here to work
Do you know how much foam this entire build takes? I’m getting ready to start a samurai build and came across your videos. Would love to get the foam I’ll need from your website!
Sheet of each size should be fine 2,4,6,10mm
what material is it made of

Te quedó genial planeas hacer la katana
don't know if I will make a sword yet still ahve a lot of armor to fabricate
@@SKSProps bueno tal vez no puedas hacer la katana pero estoy seguro q la armadura te quedará genial
I don't understand what the half circle cutout does. Is it for someone who has a gut and needs a little extra room?
The opposite, the foam when laid on your chest and curved will naturally want to stick out. the circle cut out allows the foam to lay flat at the top of the chest while still taking the compound curve at the sides.
guauuuuuuuuuuu! great!
Thanks! 🙌🙌
kocham pana ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey just that your parts 3,4,5 and 7 of templates are not avilable. Would you mind fix it? I really want to build this but i can now. Thanks!
@@ZAZA-vh6rt try a different browser, I just checked and they are fine so it’s gotta be on your end
What hardness of 6mm foam do you make this with? around 50+ or more?
Shore hardness of my HD-Foam is 38
What size of the shoe lace your using in millimetres?
Links to the athletic laces are in the video description
Hey Steve- what if I wanted each piece to move and be articulated like the real thing? Does your design allow for a 'No Glue' method at all..?
You would lace completely through the part a and b pieces and I’d probably extend part a all of the way down to the bottom of part b
Where did you find the lacing good Sir
It’s in the video description
do you think your patterns can be used for metal armor?
Id say definitely yes for leather but I haven’t worked with metal before. I’d assume it would would work or be pretty close 👍
How many meters of material do you need to make the samurai armor?
Meters 🤷♂️…I tell people in the US to get a sheet of each size 2,4,6,10mm those are 24”x60”
Guess it depends on your supplier
@@SKSPropsjust found this. Disregard my previous comment! 😅
Could I do it out of leather?
Of course most leather works prototype with foam first
Can we make it out of leather
Make it out of whatever you want. People have used cardboard, leather, foam, and metal
subbed...can you do custom order?
Thanks! I no longer take public commissions I just don't have the free time that is why I make the build videos to help inspire others to make their own
How about making a samurai sword?
it would be much easier to buy one of the highly detailed plastic ones off of amazon and do a repaint to match the armor set
What is the size of the drawing paper?
paper size doesn't matter watch the how to print templates video
@@SKSProps It's hard to understand even after watching the video. I'm going to make this armor of iron. Is size B4 suitable for adult men?
@@ZOV727 the armor is already scaled in the PDF again your paper size doesn't matter. Open the file in adobe acrobat or adobe reader and click poster that scales it over the paper regardless of the printers paper size
@@SKSProps I'm really sorry, but, What should I do if I don't have an Adobe document worker?
@@ZOV727 acrobat reader is free anyone can download it…otherwise take the file to a print shop so they can print it for you
I just wanna be the Dr pepper samurai
Forget that do you remember the Doritos samurai 🤣🤣
Qui voudrait crée un déguisement de samurai au juste personne !!!!!!!
You should make Kiritos black iron great sword from Sword Art Online. Also, great work as always 👍🏻
Did u ship worldwide?
Blick can but the costs would be very high. we are pretty much a US based supply company
