JFO ftw! Great job, that's some amazing foam work there.

Nice work on the foam armor, and fast too. One nice thing about foam is you can go back and reshape it, or add details to it, making it a continual WIP, almost a year later and I am still doing mods. Good luck on the next project.

the drywall compund on the helmet will crack and fall off, you know.

Normally I used wood filler but I ran out so I have to used drywall stuffs on it just don't drop it that's all.

Thank you everyone for looking at my build and for the great comments and I have to say sorry for no update in a while because I have a lot of stupid things happen in my life right now but I manage to make the second suit and I almost finish it ( all I have to do now are 2 biceps and pelvis) I will post some of the pictures tomorrow. Btw the second suit took almost 2 weeks to get this far.
here is the picture

I am gladly to answer your questions.
1st Q: How do I build so fast?
A: I read as many threads as I can about how to cut, glue and detail. Ben steeper foam build
Thread is my first inspiration.
2nd Q: How do I build with foam?
A: I did a lot of trial and errors with a few type of foam, cutting tools, adhesive and find soft foam mats(1/4 inch), small box cutter, sharpening stone, high temp glue gun, lots of glue sticks
are the things I used plus some good pep files.
And the last question. Hot glue and a lot of long glue sticks.

What visor did you use? I'm looking for an inexpensive visor that's ABOUT that size for an Operator helm. Any help is much appreciated! :3
