I got a problem
I currently use:
- 10mm EVA Foam
- Hot Silicone Sticks to put all pieces together
- Pepakura Templates from heroes workshop
- Dremel
The main problem is something i noticed with the cutting angles, i cutted all the pieces without thinking about that, and i ended up doing this. Instead of pasting 2 pieces with a 45° cut angles, i cutted the thickness of the foam (10 mm) on one of the pieces, and then pasted the other piece on the place where i cutted, this makes the part have a small line beetween the 2 pieces that just won't look right.
I also use silicone inside the parts and beetween 2 pieces so it doesnt get noticeable, but sometimes i need to Dremel out silicone that is noticeable from the outside (Which i'll soon switch to contact cement) + My cuts aren't perfectly smooth and plains like other cosplayers, currently i'm having to Dremel out the angles instead of doing them with the cutting angles.
I want some material that can mold out (Like that grey modeling clay but less fragile) and then get hard, to make the angles look smooth, i'll currently be using FX Plaid Paint, which is flexible with foam but i need that material to have compatibilty with that kind of paint, i also thought about using Filler Primer but still, i have no idea of how FX Plaid Paint will react.
I also noticed this cosplay from N8TEBB having smooth angles that are really noticeable, even though the Pepakura files make it seem more geometric (Picture Below), which is my currently goal.
And my biggest problem: 3 months just building the chest, i have all pieces cutted but only a few are pasted, and i really want to progress a lot more.
Thanks
