One of our favorite crafters and cosplayers to watch on YouTube is SKS Props. Steve makes some fantastic builds and shows us how to create them from the beginning to end. He even creates the templates for many of his projects which he puts on his site for free.
SKS is also behind the cosplay crafting foam that we all love to use. Steve put a lot of time and effort into sourcing the ideal foam for cosplay crafting. This is great lightweight stuff that be be molded, formed, sanded, and painted.
In his latest video, Steve creates a piece of body chest armor that can be used for a variety of characters – from superheroes to SWAT team members on your favorite video game. In this case, he is using it for Red Hood, but a few minor variations in the final touches and the sky is the limit.
