Making Foam Chest Armor [Gordon Freeman Cosplay]

[@GraceWillow]

My Bad Andrew! When you were featured as a maker of the week I said the wrong character!! THAT IS A SHREDDER COSPLAY! Thanks for showing me your build and I can't wait to see it when it's done.

[@brandonbennett4615]

It's all good, love the work and the content Zonbi 😊

[@FrostyFlix]

I was screaming at my screen when you said mortal kombat

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Lol I just posted a comment about that, then I noticed this so I deleted it.

[@Aaron-pe5yt]

Any tips for someone working with foam for a cosplay for the first time?

[@andrewgiglio]

Your mistake makes me want Shredder in a MK game.

[@nickmedadd]

that intro, lol. please do more like that.

[@GraceWillow]

You got it dude

[@kennedywalker1915]

It made me laugh out loud in the middle of class! xD I loved it

[@ryann865]

I'm dead why was that so funny XD

[@HitachiixCosplay]

That intro KILLED ME

[@unknownhiddenname6645]

*LAW & ORDER*

[@beckymurphy4714]

"Yay Zonbi's back! Ooh, a book! I don't know who this character is, but I'll watch the video anyway because I learn so much from her tutorials." And now I know how to attach the cuirass for my Joan of Arc costume. Which I really need to get working on - October's not that far away, and so far all I have is the helm (Goodwill find) and the greaves (Also Goodwill - catcher shinguards).

[@GraceWillow]

I'm happy this helped you!

[@teyah12]

Yay! I've missed your videos and I can't wait for your books!! ❤

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you so much

[@felikslaurinaitis2990]

I’m so excited for your book aa!! Also tysm for your simple yet useful tips as always ; I’m working on a Guan Yu Reinhardt (overwatch) cosplay rn and was pretty lost on how I could attach his huge under amor chest piece, you’re a life saver :’)

[@IDMTB3D]

Cool to see you doing it with out lasers and fancy equipment and getting great results!

[@samgossom2439]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! This will help me with my Mysterio costume from Spider-Man!

[@TheAngryOnion]

I'm working on my own iteration of this suit. Gordon Freeman is by far my most loved character, and i don't know why it's taken me this long :(

[@yaaaaaaw7446]

Once you book is out ill for sure buy it immediately 🙏 i love your tutorials and entire channel ❤️

[@GraceWillow]

Aw thanks so much!

[@andycervantes1586]

Wecome back! Congrats on the book. Can't wait to get a copy☺

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you so much!

[@jjonekenobi9887]

Your videos are like watching an artist sculpt! This one certainly brings back some memories. Keep up the good work!!

[@chpsilva]

NGL, this suit looks like the real thing. Loved the wearing details.

[@LaInspectora]

Holy crap Grace thank you so much for featuring my weirdo dragon head 😭 that made my day so much you have no idea!

[@GraceWillow]

You are SO WELCOME! It turned out amazing. And I love your Zabrak librarian too ahhhh!

[@cycoholic]

That's not a weirdo dragon head. It's an awesome dragon head. 😉

[@yoamal1187]

Now this is epic Missed your videos (:

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you!!

[@cev9197]

Very interesting video, thank you!

[@erickf8347]

GRACE IS BACK!!!!

[@Thlormby]

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

[@warrenenglish942]

Really nice presentation style! And the armor looks great.

[@mkfrisby9273]

i always love seeing your foam work process!! it gives me so many new ideas to try for each build

[@thomkuhlman12]

I've been looking for a tutorial for chest armor for my upcoming MMPR White Ranger inspired cosplay and this tutorial is just what I needed. I usually make armor out of sintra and wanted to use EVA foam for my project. Thanks for making this.

[@MegaDeath458]

Parachuted here. So glad! Amazing build!

[@amandaggogo]

This cosplay is amazing, I've always wanted to do a Gordon Freeman cosplay, but I am so new to armor making and using foam.

[@theladybythelake]

So glad to see you back Grace!! I look forward to buying your book when it comes out!!

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you Emily!

[@blonkyt4973]

I love your tutorials in youtube but i cant even imagine how amazing it will be in your cosplay book !! Cant wait for it 😊 and amazing cosplay !!!

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you so much!

[@DexterasVI]

Man I missed watching your cosplay videos

[@DrawMeAParadox]

Wow!!! This is AMAZING!!!!

[@Kwahzutah]

Yes!!! I’m so glad to have another video and super excited for the book! This armor looks great! A video I’d love to see sometime is maybe a discussion on actually wearing some of these cosplays, particularly how you survive a convention in your large foam builds! I wore Griffith from Berserk to Dragoncon last year and even with staying hydrated/indoors I thought I was gonna die! I’d love to hear some survival tips from you XD

[@AuntGaia]

Thank yoooouuu! ❤❤

[@AckageHSC]

It's about time! Lol. That chestpiece looks great, your weathering techniques are spot on

[@SamAccess7]

[@icraigg]

welcome back I missed seeing your videos in my sub box

[@thejbabii]

Can I ask what your job is?.. it's amazing to watch you make costumes and its reassuring to know that you have a regular ol' job too. I have a hard time finding time to work on my costumes while balancing family and work.

[@GraceWillow]

Aw thank you! and I'm a cop!

[@FrigginBoomToys]

Why have I never thought to wear a little paper poncho to measure my chest armour

[@aliennathan6089]

this is like gina cross from half-life decay!

I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chastityknite7029]

A Foam Sandwich sounds like the TF2 gift. For the BF when he doesn't want to get his butt off the couch and make it himself. Kidding, him not making his own sandwich is a running joke between us after I heard him say "Samich" the first time. Maybe I'll make one to go with my NerfNow! Angie cosplay.

[@ap_2048]

Will there be more? I kinda want to see how you made the crowbar and the fabric..

[@GraceWillow]

You bet!

[@LadyDanger420]

*crowbar noise* *crowbar noise* *crowbar noise* *crowbar noise* *crowbar noise* *cr-* skjdskjs my brother and i are gonna be Gordon and Chell for a con and i've been looking up tutorials on how to make the HEV suit, thank u for this informative and entertaining video

[@SomeDemoMain]

*_snaps belt_* cosplay time

[@user-ug1cu6sw8g]

It's really cool but it's more like your cosplaying as gin cross because she also wears hev suit in half life decay and Gordon's not a girl so Gina cross makes more sense lol I'm just saying it is awesome though we'll done! I'm just pointing out lore stuff :P well done though I couldn't even make that! So you are one talented gal I'm not into cosplay or anything I just found this and thought it was cool in my recommended lol

[@xscitobor1233]

wa wa what are you going to do with that crowbar Freeman.. FREEMAN!!

[@koushiro86]

Did you need to thin the paint before you applied it, and how much/with what?

[@FissionCreations]

Very very nice Dost - from India

[@ThatVoodooThatYoodoo]

Working on mortal combat armor... Ummm, that was The Shredder. *GASP* Shredder for Mortal Kombat... KONFIRMED!

[@GraceWillow]

how cool would that be though

[@qSPARTANp]

Where you been girl?!!! Oh doing a book, cool...

[@lilrobi45xxx42]

Can you do a blackwatch Reyes or soldier 24 cosplay?

[@PineappleKitty04]

hiya! I'm so excited for doing this cosplay, I need to got it prepared and finished to march, what specifications are the foam? mm's, and colour, I would like to buy it and start to do the cosplay :D and idk if I need something more like clay or something, thank you in advance

[@yarkov_desorec_channel]

You could cosplay Gina Cross or Collette Green, cause they are a female HEV scientists. Just Google Half-Life: Decay or Peer Review mod.

[@tim1341]

Hi i have a question have you made a tutorial on the HEV suit legs?

[@Kirbykfed89]

I've missed ya!

[@ibidesign]

Gotta admire a woman who has her own 1-2-3 blocks.

[@dopeman4807]

I was gon say, "nigga, them thighs too thicc for that hev suit." But then I remembered, THICC THIGHS SAVE LIVES!

[@TheCombineSlayer]

Question, when you mean barge, you mean glue or cement?

[@toxinomic3713]

Could've done alyx or that other girl with the grey he suit from hl1

[@Opinare]

i was about to comment that gina has the same suit but this is the MK.5 from hl2, not the MK.4 from hl1

[@MatsuoLano]

Even though I absolutely lack any skill when it comes to cosplay, I still enjoy the videos! Thanks a lot!

[@thundertheboss6202]

What is the thickness of the half dowels?

[@r4y0fth3sun5]

Can you use Flex Seal instead of Plasti-dip?

[@GraceWillow]

Sure!

[@hawk_fun_killer2329]

How much for you to make the suit and arms?

[@mrfallout1]

0:02 when gordon had enough of g-man
