The way we are going to make a durable wax stamp is take a sheet of baking paper (I used a smooth metal surface in the photos it has the same effect just needs a little prying) and put a ton of hot glue onto the sheet. Instead of putting in the measurement for your waist, put in the measurement for your neck, plus about 3-5 inches. While a silver dry brush isn't necessary as we are painting straight up silver armor we can add some gunk to the armor to show it's worn down.

I found that if you wrinkle the fabric by scrunching it up makes the silver stick to the raised edges of the fabric more and brings more attention to those details making the armor look more imperfect.They will however limit your movement in your hands so if you plan on using them for something like a Halloween party I'll talk about a method to make using your hands a bit more manageable later on. For the stamp I just went with a basic coat of purple paint and a white drybrush to show off some of the details.

And when it dries do not sand it, if you put too much on in one area you can try sanding that down to reapply but otherwise don't sand the Spackle down. This will create an adjustable drawstring neckline that you can either tie closed where it is or overlap it and tie it in the back with a longer piece of ribbon. This allowed for the gaps in the sword to be filled and when sanded after drying the sword looked like once piece. This tutorial does require a bit of sewing knowledge, however it is also a good fit for beginner costume and prop makers.If the rope keeps slipping, use a little bit of hot glue to keep it in place, it shouldn't damage the mask severely if you decide to remove the rope later. I recommend using a numbering system or putting the files in folders so you don't forget which file is which as it can get confusing at times. Fitting is a difficult process, most parts won't fit your hand perfectly, this is because you need to fit each piece for where it needs to go on your hand. To make sure the nail doesn't collapse in on itself during proper use, I filled the inside with expanding foam. Finally the 3D model used for the gaunlets was taken from a model posted on thingiverse by Azumetrics the thingiverse page is in the link below.
