I can't get over how much this does not look like foam.

In some ways this looks better than even pep armor, absolutely gorgeous

I agree, this is looking much nicer than pep. It's much cleaner and smoother, and when done it weighs a lot less than glassed armor. Incredible job, and the fact that this is MKVI is even better!

I've never seen a Mk VI foam build. It's looking awesome and really clean. I can see why you're interested in doing an under suit. This build is great, but an under suit will make it totally legit.

Wow thank you so much guys. I got home from work expecting replys to my thread from the usual suspects but almost a whole pages worth. Hopefully I can get the video tutorials up soon. Waiting on my camera to be fixed as I dropped it with a big zoom on and it ripped the thing apart. Once he is fixed will get the links up.

Simply stated, that would be fantastic.

I have been wanting to do a foam MK VI for some time, and you have inspired me to go buy a crapton of gluesticks, and whatever kind of foam that is.

They are 12mm interlocking eva foam floor mats and do it dude. I have seen some amazing new foam builds out there at the moment. Hopefully I have paved the way for more people to do foam helmets. Seen one done already and a fine job at that

Thank you hun. The draw back of the clean seams is that the build is taking twice as long as it should. Of course I don't mind, being a perfectionist means things get done right. Would like to add your undersuit is truly inspiring, I hope I can get mine somewhere close to as good as yours.

Belt Update


Didn't have much time this week so today I took time out to get my belt made. I will be adding some detailing to it as it's a little plain apart from the bags on the sides. Tonight I will be starting on the legs but not sure how the build will go after today as my baby is due on monday and I am pretty sure it will be taking up all my time when I am not working. Hopefully my wife will let me get some of my suit done while it sleeps

Awesome job!

I know about the EVA flooring, I was referring to the thinner stuff.

I actually have a MK V in foam (with a gravity hamma )if you want to look at that.

Ah I see. The way you worded it sounded like you were new to foam. Which confused me, after I had answered I did have a quick look at your threads and thought surely some that has 1200+ posts should know what EVA is.
