What this video covers
SKS Props walks through the construction of a knight pauldron/chest armor piece inspired by the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, using EVA foam as the primary material. This is part two of a multi-video series that isolates the build process from painting and weathering into separate episodes. The creator provides free downloadable PDF templates on their website to help viewers replicate the armor shapes accurately. The tutorial is paced for beginners while remaining useful to more experienced foam smiths.
