Im having trougle finding more craft foam for the armour. This was a trial but I might just go a head with what I have done and make this the final chest piece. Still working out what I can make the sword form. I also need to buy a hot-blade for cutting the EVA foam.

New Update! Chest Plate Glued.
Waithing for it to dry. this is the view from the back.
As for the sword I found the dimentions.
Total length is: 149.86cm (49')
Blade length is: 60.96cm. (24') an Eva foam matt is 100cm × 100cm.
I'll Split the blade and handle up and attach them later.
There is no way I'm going to be able to get the blade as thin and for it to stay in it shape.
Once the glue drys I plan on heat guning the chest plate. (I'll do a test piece first)

Making the first trial chest piece
I split the templates into two parts making the top section today.
Each needing 6 pices.
Using this template (I added some extra flaps on the end so it would be the length of a sheet.)
I traced it on to the foam. I managed to get 5 out of one 12' times 18' sheet.
This is what is looks like right now. Glued together with white school glue. (It has still not dryed in 24 hours)
OK so An update one second half of the chest will be comming soon!
This was all the off cuts os managed to use the sheet of foam up well.

Chest Templates are done!
Print this as A4 you should not have too much trouble.
Knida. You will have to add a piece to extent all the way around to the back!
The numbers on this pic should help with the template. you have to join
the first two shapes together. Because you don't see the second half of the
bottom 6 pieces there is no point wasting materials. (that is the 3rd shape).
Templates
Going to put up some templates for the 2nd age elf armour for lord of the rings for the chest armour!
