About

Hello, I’m Nika

I make armour out of foam, in a garage with the door open to a courtyard and a pegboard of tools on the wall. I started with a single shoulder plate for a costume party, got hooked on how a flat sheet becomes a curve under a heat gun, and have not stopped since. Everything I make is my own invention, so I can paint it in any colours I like.

The armour is for me and my friends. What I sell is the part that is useful to you: the patterns I have drawn and tested, the guides to shaping and painting foam, and two video courses for people who want to build a full set and wear it to an event.

If you enjoy what I make, there are a few ways to help me keep making it.
