I've repainted this suit from last year since the paint job was rushed. Here's a current picture of what the suit looks like as of now:
Also added in some homemade suspenders today to help keep my belt up. The belt has the strapping for the thighs attached to it and over the course of walking around and posing for pictures would start to slip down. Hopefully this will fix the problem, as Halo-ween is just a few days from now!
Hey guys I've always wanted to try a foam build since I've already done a fiberglass/bondo Carter build. I've envied the mobility and comfort that foam offers. Back when foam was just starting to get big detail was an issue that bothered me, but now after searching high and low through the forums I was able to come across quite a few that have very intricate detail built into the foam itself! It was amazing! It has inspired me to try my first foam build. Here is a photo of what I'm hoping to achieve.
I really like the look of the UA/Multi threat, especially after watching thorn696's build. I've decided to go with a gun-metal base color with some color modifications later. I wanted to theme it after Hawaii because I was born and raised here (also because people were convinced that I had bought my costume and I want to prove to all that this is completely custom and not store bought). I will explain a lot of the details as the build progresses but this is what I have for now.
I am currently in the process of ordering EVA foam. I have found some on Home Depot's site for $17/16 sq ft. If someone has a better priced dealer that ships to Hawaii for free please let me know!
I am starting to cut templates out on cardboard to make sure that I have the sizing right so i'll post pics when I get more done. My girlfriend is going to attempt a build with me this year as Kat B-320. I'll post updates on both of our builds here on this thread. Until next time!
