I need to make some armor for a Crusty cosplay (out of EVA foam), the guy in blue armor from Log Horizon.
The problem is that he has a big chest cloth that runs all the way down from his neck to his feet, the shoulder pads are huge, and there are hints of his chest armor, but from what I know I've never actually seen it.

I'm wondering on a particular design for it, and I'm coming up a bit dry. Do any of you know what it might look like, or tips or templates?

I tried looking for a pepakura file, but I couldn't find one.

Because I'm too lazy to wait for a response, I've gone ahead and tried various methods myself.

The one that's yielded the most progress for making my own template has been surrounding myself with saran wrap/plastic wrap, and masking tape or white duct tape. I have several templates already, but I expect to mess up quite a few times. If I keep going at this rate I should have a set available for FanimeCon 2018.

If I get it done early enough, maybe I'll make another suit of armor too. >_> Depends on how satisfied I am I suppose. Haha.
