Hey!

So, I'm putting together a series of Star Wars vids, and one of the characters is a disgruntled, battle-hardened exp-Imp. The armour I found available online was either too cheap and crappy, or too good and expensive. I wanted something lived in and... broken. But not a kid's costume, y'know?

So, yeah, I decided to make it myself. I had some thin EVA foam lying around anyway, so I just sort of pieced it all together with some direction from online tutorials. The result isn't great, but I think it will translate well to film!

I haven’t got the spatial imagination skills for this kind of patterning work at all. SUPER impressed with how you pulled it together.

Ok SJ, I think it might be time to fess up. You have a Time Turner don't you? You stole one from the the Ministry of Magic before Harry & The Gang wrecked the place. I am utterly convinced you live outside the time space continuum and have more hours in the day than everybody else. 🤔🤣😘
