Plazas e do make a hole armor set

[@coltonmay_]

Hey love the videos they have been very helpful and I’m just starting out, making custom clothes and cosplay and I’m still buy materials and I’m just wondering what the difference between EVA foam and HD foam.

[@SKSProps]

@@coltonmay_ HD-Foam is eva but it’s a higher quality and density. The higher density will give you cleaner cuts and your blades won’t dull as fast. It sands smoother and is bar far easier to manipulate than other foams. It’s also less porous which gives you a smoother finish so paints don’t soak in as much and it’s all around a cleaner build. So all in all it is just better / easier to work with

[@afifhaxiqq8759]

I want to asking.you eva foam or what foam

[@SKSProps]

[@medgelabs]

I've been trying to figure out a full kit of Samurai armor for years now. I so want to see this series get completed! Will justify the dozens of rolls of SKS foam in my closet 😅

[@SKSProps]

Dozens of rolls you say! 🙌

[@medgelabs]

Yep! Fiancé and I love the stuff. Your Dream mask she made was the star of last Halloween 😊 thank you so much for all the amazing content you give out!

[@jacksonmetcalf3511]

I think that I speak for the majority of your viewers when I say that it would be awesome to see you make the entire set of samurai armor. Great work Steve!.

[@HawkWorley]

As a huge Ronin Warrior fan, this is totally in my wheelhouse! I would like to see more of the costume.

[@10feethome]

Thanks for the videos and free templates, made the full armour set out of CARDBOARD (!!!) and it was a huge challenge !

[@SKSProps]

Awesome glad you had fun 👍 Try Eva foam next time and it will be a lot easier to make the compound curves

[@10feethome]

I don't have foam....😢

[@green_arr0w84]

Holy Mackerel! This is amazing Steve! I'm always looking forward to seeing your creations and it's a pleasure to your videos pop into my feed. Also, I'd definitely love to see you tackle the whole armour!

[@SKSProps]

Thank you!!

[@brendabrady2880]

Thank you for sharing all of your talents !!! Because of you I was able to my friends weapon (ESO online). She had a bout with cancer and it was so special to be able to make it for her. It was my first time working with foam or anything like that. She proudly displays it above her computer. And her grandsons want me to make them one....they think it is metal...lol. Thanks again Steve !! you are amazing !!!

[@SKSProps]

You are so welcome! And I love hearing stories like this ❤️

[@yipyip324]

Earth dust was a great touch to the weathering! Can't wait for a full set of armor

[@blueDC1]

I've been really deep inspired by Japanese culture especially samurai traditions. I would really love to see the complete series

[@GregoryHaynes]

I'm with everyone else, your art is superb! Please continue this build to show us a complete samurai armor set! Thanks Steve.

[@williamjones5005]

Definitely would love to see you tackle the full set. This looks great, just like all of your other builds!

[@actiefafval]

Love this build! I would really like to see a full armor build. You are such a talent with foam

[@lisadawson2652]

I’m a home school mom and this video is amazing for my twin girls who love to build and who is currently learning about o-yoroi armor thanks for your hard work and creativity 👍🏾

[@SKSProps]

That’s awesome to hear! Thanks! 👍

[@jerrygeneralao6371]

Yes please! Whole armor videos would be awesome!

[@zorakclanghammer4849]

Yes. A full build would be awesomesauce!

[@shannondh83]

I watch your videos in total awe. Your crafting and especially painting skills are fantastic. Yes! I want to see the completed armor.

[@davidd7439]

Full samurai armor in the living room😮😮 YES PLEASE😆😆

[@catatau5064]

That is just AMAZING wow I'm going to make one for me can't wait for part 2 I love your work

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! And it’s already in the works 🙌

[@andy5974]

Thanks

[@andrewhagen2417]

A full suit of armor would be amazing!

[@r3ptile584]

I've worn historically accurate replica armor, and the weight was exhausting. This looks every bit as good! I'd love to see a weight comparison.

[@SKSProps]

Night and day my friend. Once I have the helmet complete I can get a good reading on weight

[@lechatbotte.]

Yay the dowels are back in!! Just got notified they’ve shipped to my granddaughter. I love the Samurai can’t wait to see it completed. Excellent detail work

[@SKSProps]

Awesome!

[@Justrex01]

Yes, I'd love to see a full set of samurai armor! Love this part so much we need to see more, please! Thanks, Steve!

[@10feethome]

I had the most fun making and decorating the mask👺

[@SKSProps]

Glad you had fun and I could help you out 👍

[@chavis51]

Would absolutely love to see a full build. I have been trying to find a halfway decent PDF for samurai armor and I know that you will knock it out of the park !

[@blizatrex]

This is looking great. I can see this in a modern art museum display. A full set would be interesting to see.

[@SKSProps]

Thanks!

[@wendynordstrom3487]

This is just stunning! And i love watching you cut out the foam. You have such a steady hand!

[@SKSProps]

Thank you so much! Lots of practice 😉

[@Gdddguhjkbfs]

I have been looking for YEARS for a build like this AMAZING!! I would absolutely love to see the rest of the armor build. I would even be willing to pay for the patterns. Please please please do the rest of the armor.

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! Working on the chest right now. All of my patterns are free and available on my site once the video drops 🙌

[@TrinityBazan]

I always had the dream of cosplaying and I wanted to start with Samurai Jack from season 5. This is really awesome and inspiring! I wish I could build things as beautiful as you do!

[@SKSProps]

Thanks you!!

[@antcas9184]

I'm going to go ahead now and say gull send on a full set of Samurai armor. This is going to be fantastic, brother! Amazing work as always!

[@HungLikeScrat]

Yes, we'd LOVE to see the entire build. I want to make some armor with some Samurai inspiration, but I've hit a creative wall. Maybe that would help get the creative juices flowing. Oh, and I don't know if you've ever watched the Stargate franchise (SG-1, SG-A, and SG-U, but I'd love to see you do some stuff from that universe. Stuff like Jaffa armor, various weapons, etc.

[@Sammonoske]

Amazing work as always. Don't see enough Samurai cosplay.

[@matcason4893]

Yes to the rest of the Samurai armour. Good job.

[@diogopereira7506]

A full set of armor would be amazing to see!

[@Thatbrownguy454]

I definitely would love to see the rest of the armor. This project would look awesome in my basement next to some of my other cosplay and prop builds. Thank you for the video and another awesome build!

[@andysimmons2438]

Please do more, even if its just the helmet. That looks amazing so far!

[@YayItsKarf]

I’m so ready for the full suit!! Please keep it going!!

[@camsonofander]

[@shoalinti]

I really hope you finish the project! Excited to see it and give it a shot.

[@philabot]

Wow, that looks like it’s a real mask not made out of foam. Outstanding work Steve

[@bidegain10]

It would be amazing to see you do the whole costume for sure!!! Please!!

[@scottcooper3290]

[@itsagundam79]

I can't wait to do this! I need to get some shoelace! Definitely need the full cuirass and the other bits! I don't expect all the chainmail sleeves and tabi ofc, but would be nice to get shoulders, the skirt armor, leg panels and maybe some hand tops.

[@nobre.cosplay]

This pattern will help me a lot to build my Yasuke samurai. Thanks a lot for the template and tutorial video.

[@rcgrant12]

That would be awesome to see a full set. Your work is incredible and I would love to see how you would do it

[@gusmartinez9067]

[@paulwing6058]

These tutorials are probably the best l have seen, so looking forward to the full build if it happens

[@mrbob0822]

This looks *so good*, Steve! I'm a sucker for some good historically-grounded armor, so I'm definitely hoping you do a full set.

[@SKSProps]

Thanks Kev!!

[@GazzManX2]

Absolutely want to see the full armour set! I'm definitely going to make this one day!

[@blastyou80]

Just found your channel. Doing some research for my first EVA foam project. Great videos and awesome work.

[@SKSProps]

Thanks!! Lots of beginner builds to teach the fundamentals 🙌🙌

[@WOLFENDRACUL]

please, please, yes, yes I want to see the entire Yoroi!

[@wakingtodream]

This is awesome! Thank you for doing such a unique build on KZbin!

Thanks! And you’re welcome part 6 will be out soon 👍

[@wesleyramos2436]

[@StudioCreations]

Great build. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the parts.

[@amunek]

Very cool! A full set of armor would be awesome👍👍

[@RiffsOfHorror]

[@fauxmarmorer9544]

Dad's gonna be real happy this year

[@grizzlydad8854]

Yes, please do a full set of samurai armor!

[@MatthewCorkhill]

Please, Steve, I too would love to see the whole armour. Great fan of your work, thanks.

[@PyroFTB]

Looking forward to making this soon. I'll be using some foam clay to get a more natural look for the facial features.

[@SKSProps]

Make sure to reinforce the mask because if the foam is to thin it will flex and the foam clay will crack once it’s completely dry Have fun 👍

[@PyroFTB]

@@SKSProps Oh I didn't know that, thanks!

[@KRayne27]

I would fully love to see a full set of Samurai armor out of foam.

[@Earl3]

That looks amazing! I'd love to see this series in full!

[@ewells921]

Finally a justified excuse to my wife why I have 4 full storage tubs on HD foam lol 😆 (going to make a samurai mandalorian with this) would love a full build!

[@raymondcaruana4714]

I've just found your channel, I work with leather so I am going to make it in leather, It looks really cool. Love your work.

[@SKSProps]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@keithkleisler296]

This is awesome! Yes please make the rest of this series!

[@PERRYS_PROPS]

I'm absolutely looking forward to a full armor build

[@kipchris2007]

Great tutorial video!!! PLEASE do the full armor set!!!

[@FabWorks80]

Beast work!!! I Love this...I just purchased some HD Foam to build this. Please, please, continue to build the other parts...You Rock! 👹👊

[@timmartin2336]

Definitely I love your tutorials and have learned a lot from them I've used some of the things to make a holster for my mandalorian kit cause I use a different blaster than most and had to make a custom holster for it

[@stevewild2797]

Excellent build as always thankyou for this , excited at the prospect of being able to build the full armour fingers crossed :)

[@dapperprops]

Definitely want to see that full set build!

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Yes! Please do the whole set!

[@CraigMayhem]

I like when makers do projects that have current pop-culture relevance BUT I also like timeless designs like this. Sure Thor is cool, but how would one make samurai Thor? Start here! Great stuff as always and hopefully people pay attention to the painting bits because there's where the magic is.

[@kalenhouse]

What an amazing mask. I will definitely be making this for Halloween. Please do the entire outfit 🙏

[@mhxistenz]

I've been waiting for something like this for ages.

[@ClanMcDuck]

Phenomenal work! I will follow along for the whole series!!!

[@guyloren]

Absolutely superb build Steve,very much looking forward to seeing a complete set!🙏🏻 Thank you again so much for all you bring to the community!🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@shawnkarg3794]

[@SKSProps]

Awesome! can't wait to see it 🙌

[@tomsinger8818]
