First build: Foam halo reach custom spartan (probably Pic heavy)

[Fuzzflexible]

By front plate I guess you mean the bit across the top front?
Basically on my current boots as rather than use a template I scratch built from ref pics, I saw that the front plate actually extends down to the heel so I made it with those extensions and attached it on to the heel allowing movement from the toe section still. My recommendation to you is just make that piece again and bigger so it extends that far. I wouldn't recommend just making some extensions for it because obviously the boot is under a lot of stress and the less joins the less chance for breaks.

Oh yeah man, attatching it isnt really a problem, i would just glue it in place and it would probably work just fine... I just want it to be removable, so that i can tie my shoelaces without that much of a hassle xD

Yah, problem is it needs to sit a bit tighter than that... i'm currently just tying some string around the ancle, it kinda works, but needs perfection xD

Hey man! You just click the little speech-bubble icon when you make your entries!
It inspires me that i can inspire people! Foam is a really fun material, and thanks for the praise!
Its so cheap and easy to work with, just dont be too afraid of working outside of the pepakura models, since some of em requires a lot of modding xD
good luck with your armor! gonna be followin from now on

I haven't been posting yet, but I started following your thread about a month ago. You did an amazing job with the foam, Fuzz. I'm definitely using your build as a reference for my own. Keep up the good work.
