Nice work so far man. For painting the foam I used PVA and found it peels off too easy and just undercoat mine with plasti dip. One thing though I think you are using the foam that has a lot of air in it. I have seen someone else use that type of foam and he said he sealed it with PVA first then plasti dip. If the foam doesn't have a nice smooth surface like the type I have been using then I believe PVA is a must. Can't wait to see this suit painted up its looking sweet so far.

Nice work so far man. I really want to get some of the foam you are using as it is much easier to get clean cuts. There is a guy in the UK that uses it and looks awesome. Really looking forward to see how you get on.

yeah i know him his name is james he runs a website called xrobots.co.uk

I also know of James. Just read up on plastazote and with the micro bubbles (not really called that) I would say that pva would work well with it as Itwill have something to grab onto. Intact I didn't really know what it was before. Now that I do I will be getting some for a secret project I am working on as need some big sheets of thin foam rather than the A4 I have been using.

Good luck and any other questions feel free to ask.
Tom.
