Started with glued together foam roll cut outs, bought plastic dummy plates, then got a set of laser cut closed cell foam dummy plates. Totally worth it.

The funny/ fucked up thing is that some cosplay guy actually did make stab-proof Batman armor with cutting boards sometime later.

So I stand corrected on the materials issue, but I stand firm on the 'dangerous manifestation of violent paranoia' issue.

Well, there's obviously some fun in-joke here that a noob won't get.

Got my hands on the plate carrier, so I'll be doing the EVA foam insert thing, made from $3.50 dollar store EVA foam mats. I'll try that out, then try cardboard and see which I prefer.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Don't worry about the cutting boards, that was pretty cancerous.

If you're going to tape the cardboard, use packaging tape instead of duct tape. Its more waterproof. Duct tape also tends to leak gunky residue...

Tuck tape. It's waterproof and lightweight.

Very clever - I would have never thought to use that, but it makes complete sense. I will use tuck tape on the cardboard option.

That does seem like a good option. Only thing is I'm pretty sure that tape is more expensive than the cardboard you're wrapping whereas packaging tape is just as cheap as the cardboard. :P

Tuck tape Yeahhh great idea.

And tuck tape can be found in many camo design.

Camo tape also exist in cloth material. I dont known if they stick very well but it good be a better option when you play in colder condition.

I've got some sitting around from when we did some renos, so it's just material in hand for me.

A roll of tape isn't much, and it's good to have around the house.

Tuck tape is almost always red. Duct tape comes in camo, but isn't great with moisture long term.

Another suggestion, If you use a tape as the one we use for hockey stick, I always do this trick to avoid taping the blade every game.

Right after a put the new tape, I scrub it with candle wax following to heat it using a flame lighter. The wax penetrate into the tape and it's waterproof.

Of course, it's not a good idea to use it in a hot summer days :smack:
