however, i was also hoping to be able to have the armor plates closer together, something like the winter soldier's arm in regards to the plates shifting as i would move. is anything like that possible or would the close proximity of the plates restrict movement too greatly?

anyone have experience with this?

USE THE HELP THREAD

>>9250453
i read the sticky and the links provided but didnt see anything related to this

>>9250456
this is an interesting topic that could probably be worth its own thread, but generally people who use the help thread (called "Cosplay Help and Advice" right now i think) get more thoughtful responses/less trolling.

>>9250453
questions that can be answered simply are good for the help thread but complicated stuff like this might take more back-and-forth.

>>9250459
AH gee now i see what that guy meant, didnt realize there was a help thread. ill try there, but ill probably leave this thread active just in case, thank you.

sounds like you want a brigantine or coat of plates

alternatively, a sliding rivet cuirass like the one in my pic.

Properly fitted armor is actually very flexible though, you can do pretty much everything you can normally do with armor.

you definitely can't have that kind of skin tight look, but armor slides over itself. Knight errant has a great video on how his pauldrons work, which is based on 14th century English armor. The later you go, the more articulated plates you see.

forgot to mention, we have a LARP thread and /tg/ has common Arms&Armor threads where you can ask about this.

>>9252808
no theres no way it could be skin tight, thank you very much for your advice

That doesn't mean you can make a new thread. You just post on the thread like a smart person does.
