Sweet. Thanks for the tip.Try using some craft foam w/ contact cement to conceal the gaps. You will still retain the shape and outline but the gaps will be gone.
Does this mean using really thin eva to coat the outside like you would with worbla? How do you keep the edges sharp?Try using some craft foam w/ contact cement to conceal the gaps. You will still retain the shape and outline but the gaps will be gone.

Joffersmk2,
As for my son he's 8 as well and I do have a duct tape dress form for him . He enjoyed the process and managed to sit still enough for me to get it done. View attachment 248849
It's currently being used to display his Saiyan Warrior armour that I made for him last year.
There are plenty of Tuts on YouTube.Sorry, this was posted a while ago, but how do you personally make a ducktape form? That would be hella useful.

This is one of the first ones I checked. I watched a few other ones just to see other people's approach to make one.
I pretty much follow the basic guidelines from the vids. For the amount of tape I use I do about 2 to 3 layers of tape. Some may see it as a waste of tape but, the form is sturdier and is easier to tape the seem together. With regards to closing the seem I find it easier to tape that shut first and then stuff it. With the stuffing I like to stuff it on the firmer side. I get pretty hands on with the dummy so I don't like to be hold a squishy form.Thanks. I've seen a lot of different ways to do it and was curious on your opinion.
Looking great!
Those boots are bringing back fond building memories for me.
Fond memories......like the plungers?
