What this video covers
Part 3 of SKS Props' Fallout Combat Armor series focuses on building the shoulder and forearm pieces from EVA foam, with free downloadable PDF templates available on the creator's website. The tutorial walks through cutting, sanding, and embossing foam to convincingly mimic the look of leather and metal surfaces. Finishing steps include sealing and painting techniques to achieve a weathered, game-accurate appearance. This installment builds directly on the chest armor covered in earlier episodes of the series.
