Get started by collecting reference images and making plaster casts of the parts of the body that need armor. You can buy easy pre-plastered strips in a box online at http://www.dickblick.com

I first wrapped myself in saran wrap then put the plaster strips on, let it get mostly dry, then cut it off carefully. I then fixed where I cut it open with more plaster strips. Then you wait for it to be fully dry. Then I covered it with packing tape, and plastic bags until it was fully covered and the shape that I wanted it to be. Once you get to that point I can continue the lesson ;D haha a hint with working with the model magic, never pull on it to stretch it, that causes cracks when it dries. You need to flatten it out/roll it out with a rolling pin. Also you need something to coat the model magic to make it hard/plasticy. I used sculptamold.

Just out of curiosity, does that suit keep you warm at all?

Decently warm. So far I haven't overheated or been too cold when we went out somewhere cold
