In the previous step, I marked out holes in the foam from the pattern. Some of them I glued after painting, some before painting. I used over 200+ little grommets and disks to capture all the minute details. Dremel (The Dremel 4000 worked very well for me). So, if you try these techniques and you are unhappy with how your pattern turned out, then redo it! No biggy! I assume you cosplay for fun just like me, so we're not pros or anything! Bad patterns will result in a bad end product. 6) I then cut out the pattern with an Xacto knife - I used these same techniques for every section, including the props such as the sword and holster.Again, I want to reiterate patterning is a VERY IMPORTANT step in making your armor. I am really bad at drawing so it took a few tries till I felt “eh, good enough.” I also made sure to cut out holes for the 200+ grommet holes that would need to be filled later. 5) Within the boarders of the box I just drew, I would freehand sketch the part I was trying to make. If the cardstock was too small, I taped sheets together with scotch tape to make a bigger sheet. Example: Bicep_center_length = (My_Height (in cm) x Raiden_Photo_Height)/(Raiden_bicep center_length) Bicep_center_width = (My_Height x Raiden_Photo_Height)/(Raiden_bicep center_width) 4) Once I had a width/height estimate of each section of the piece, I drew a box with those dimensions on cardstock. 
Since this piece is symmetrical, I would just need to pattern the center and left side (then flip it over to use as the right side) 3) In order to scale my pieces properly in real life, I would measure the total height of Raiden on the photo, take measurements (in centimeters) of the part I wanted to make, then use a simple formula with my height to get the approximate scale for real life. For example, the bicep looks like it can be split into 3 main sections: 2) I would then choose a piece that I wanted to make and then envisioned how many pieces I would need to make the part.
Plenty of reference photos (I just google images and download whatever I can find) ġ) I downloaded multiple photos online of Raiden in attempt to get every angle of his costume to make.Looking at my completed Raiden now, there are still pieces I would like to re-pattern and re-make but I felt it was good enough for a first shot. There are times where I re-did my patterns multiple times till I felt okay with the piece.
With sub-par patterns, the end result will not look too great.
