Her there,
Following making a small prop toy for my son ive been energized to start a more complicated foam project! I have a lot ive wanted to try but as my kids are marvel fans and most of their prop toys are from there I thought id do the crown jewel of the set.
Thanos Armour, with infinity gauntlet and his sword.
I couldn't find a decent pep file for the Gauntlet so Ive ended up making my own templates for it, hopefully the supplies for the trial run will arrive in the next few days. The current plan is to use 10mm 100* High density foam for the vambrace, and nucklebrace, 5mm foam for the side plates and fingers and 2mm for the surface raised details. The 10mm foam is rock hard and doesnt move much so I wanted to use that for pats that shouldnt bend, and also as its 10mm, I can literally embed electronics inside it and fill the hole behind them. Each of the 6 infinity stones will be made using Resin/Hardener in wax casts, set inside the nucklebrace with 3-embedded- LED circuit boards under each one run together off a power pack that will house 4 AAA batteries. Ill need to check the power rating for that but it runs one fine so they wont explode at least!
The sword is just a solid prop and I have a file for that so is a nice easy one.
The Armour is proving harder as I cant find any files and its a lot to make from scratch! If anyone knows of any floating around the internet it would be much appreciated.
Current plan is to do the gauntlet first as its got some very fine details, then take it from there as there are a lot of stand along parts.
Anyone seen any other builds for this I can snoop on? just to see the standards
