RoboCop

My 2022 halloween costume for my local Roller Skating Rinks.

A metallic robotic armor chest piece on a table, with a black base, in a room with a plain wall and an electrical outlet visible.

This project started with a template from Heroesworkshop.

I built and assembled the paper template first to check fitment and make any adjustments needed.

Paper templates for a costume, possibly a robot or armor, laid out on a table with ruler, tape, and a desk lamp nearby.

Building begins, with eva foam.
