Okay, so I know that google is my 'eylan and all that but I thought I'd ask here anyway. I've been thinking about what costumes would be fun to do and I've realized that I'd need to make pieces of armor for some. Now, I can't work with metal (epic as that would be), so do you have any suggestions for how I could make imitations? Would cardboard work? Or maybe plaster for smaller pieces?

I can easily find paint to make it shiny, the problem is more about making it look sturdy enough.. And it shouldn't tear or break off if it's at a joint. Any and all ideas are welcome ^^
