Hey all, new to the whole cosplay foam armor world. Just thought I would share some of the builds I am working on. With each piece, the lines get cleaner and more precise. It is definitely a learned art.
This all started when my wife bought my youngest child a Master Chief Halloween costume for $30 and I thought I could come up with something better for cheaper. Low and behold, I stumble upon this site and have two cases of eva foam floor mats in the garage. So that blossomed into everything so far.
I plan to do an armor suit for me following the Hughes build model and venturing into the pepakura side of the builds, but find that for learning purposes, the Andrew DFT is a seriously scaled down and simplified model to use for beginners.
Now I am starting to use the builds for practicing the sealing, coating, and sanding of the builds before final paint. Either way, my kids think the builds are the absolute coolest things on the planet.
Opinions and tips greatly appreciated!
