New more accurate version!
The templates include easy guides for making the Stormtrooper armor for Kids with EVA foam.
Before cutting the foam you can validate with the paper molds on your child's body. The paper molds are created with the templates and are used to cut the foam to make each part of the armor. The foam build video works for kids and adults.
This is an original design inspired on Star Wars movie.
It can be made with EVA foam from 6mm to 10mm thick. 8mm thick recommended. For other little parts it's recommended 3mm or 4mm foam.
The templates are in PDF files. Use Adobe Reader to open the files. These are for printing on letter size paper. Select the correct paper size in the print setup. If you print in A4 use in Adobe Acrobat the "Actual Size" option to print on A4 as a letter size.
The molds are for size will fit kids from 9 to 11 years old, also you can adjust the templates for each age (see the Kids Sizes Validator images).
