UPDATE:
Back piece pattern designed. cut out. and put together.
I figured that I'll put the torso together in 6 steps. Front panel, back panel, over-the-shoulders, front guard, back guard, (and the bottom trim). I'm still not sure if I want to put the chain/medallion decoration on. I feel like a real chain would be too heavy for the foam. And a foam chain would work, but seems too tedious at the moment. But anyway, here are the pictures.
So if you ever work with foam, use this stuff. It's like tinder and a hot date for foam.

You know what is funny? I don't realy have a shop. I just do armor in my garage but i have acces to some tool from a ironworkshop where my dad is working. If you whant to see some of my work you can look at my profil picture.It is the project that i am curently working on. (Sorry if i have a bad english this is not my main langage)
samwil0 That armor in your pic looks sick!! That idea of a plastic chain is crazy... so crazy that it just might work!!! Thank you!
UbiNoty *motivation intensifies* Thank you! I'll keep doing my best. By the way, is there any way that I could inspire you guys to come out with a reference guide to the lawbringer? My life would be simplified so much.
PROGRESS:
Alright so I made a proper pattern for the shoulder parts. They fill in a lot of the gaps now and its looking a lot better! The next thing I need to do is make the shoulders slant to the sides. I think the easiest way to do that is to cut tactically placed notches in the straps then glue the spaces together to make it slant downward toward my shoulders. Feels good man.
If you are wondering, That mannequin was made by wearing a white t-shirt, having a friend who will gladly Duck Tape the crap out of you, then have someone free you by cutting along the back of it, taping it back up, then use cardboard as a base/fill in the holes, Then stuff it with pillow stuffing. Aka. the poor man's mannequin. Aka. I don't care if that sentence was a huge run-on sentence.
