That's insane. Looks solid, Jim.

Are you going to SDCC in this?

More sweet work from you Jim, bravo! Gives me inspiration to start building my suit!

Looks amazing painted up

 

[Waltimusprime]

Incredible. i honestly thought it was a sculpted build. its hard to believe its foam

 

[Dohko 66]

That job is crazy. illustrate with a tutorial on how to make the cut rounded corners.

 

[trippycookie]

Is the slight weathering done by just scratching the paint off gently with something?

 

[Joe Deuce]

Is the EVA Foam route cheaper then the fiberglass route?

Did you use a hot knife for the foam or just an exacto knife?

 

[Icon Props]

i cant realy say if eva is cheaper than fiberglass (its close to the same) . The eva is much faster for me & that makes it easier to remake pieces when they dont come out right.

As far as cutting goes. I use only utillity knifes as well as exacto knifes. Ive have not tried a hot knife yet. Most of the examples ive seen of cutting with a hot knife look like the edges can get a little ruff. Sharp blades jn a utillity knife just help out on getting those realy clean edges that i want.

But how do you make the seams invisible? Sandable primer on top of the plasti dip? Or plastic coating?
It looks amazingly clean and precise.

Would you happen to have templates for the Scout Torso?

 

[Icon Props]

Heres an up dated photo from the weekend. Im on track to be completed in 2 weeks for megacon.
Sorry sithslayer78 i didnt keep my templates. even if i did i alter each foam piece so much from my original cut out that they wouldnt be much use.

Where's a gawd damn like button ... looking the goods there! Keep up the awesome work

 

[Miguel MK107]

amazing, my jaw just dropped, cant wait to see the rest of it

 

[Xtremenoob]

Looks great so far

 

[Sithslayer78]

Sorry Sithslayer78 i didnt keep my templates. even if i did i alter each foam piece so much from my original cut out that they wouldnt be much use.

That makes sense. One more question, if that's okay. I was wondering what you used to seal the foam so smoothly after assembly. It just looks SO smooth and uncracked, it's unbelieveable. I saw that you used Krylon Gray primer, but did you seal the foam first? Something like plasti-dip or modge podge?

 

[spencers12]

keeps getting better! what are you using for an under suit?

 

[Camaro91]

Amazing work seeing it all together!
