Beginning a Warhammer 40K Space Marine Build

[adexder]

Hey everyone! My friend (duke_exidar) and I are starting to work on a Warhammer 40K cosplay. I know we're being really ambitious, but I'm confident that we'll finish it.
We're going to be cosplaying as Black Templars. We're going to be using EVA Foam for the main components, plywood for the base. It will be to scale (7-8 feet), hot glue for the gluing, plasti-dip for the protective layer over the foam, and spray paint for the painting. And probably some form of padding on the inside so that the parts stay in place.

I will be making a master-crafted armor set

And duke_exidar will be making the emperor's champion variation.

Any tips and/or advice will be welcome This is my first foam build. It would be awesome if anyone could give me a couple pointers so that I can head in the right direction
Thanks!

YES! I've been wanting to see some completed space marine builds for ages, I have a little bit of foam experience and will try to help out along the way. Good luck

Thanks! I'm already working on the boot, hoping to have it finished in the next week. If I get going on it, I will finish it
