Amazing work so far. I really like the Paint job. Yellow is one of my Favorite colors though. I'm a Bit Bias.

wicked paint job! I will soon be embarking on my own foam build. with just the black, it looked messy, and not very attractave. but with an awesome paint job, anything would look awesome. abosolutely amazing.

[playdohlord]

I Cut the edges of each peice to the angle that i wanted and just hot glued em. I hope i understood your question correctly.

i meant what did you use to cut it, my bad. x-acto's dont cut the angles very well because the foam is squishy and scissors are only good for short cuts.

I actualy use scissors and it works supprizingly well. I also use a band saw. the scissors are Cut Co and we got em for 75 bucks so that might be the reson that they work so well

I feel like an outcast...im like the only dude who hasnt done something out of foam.And by the way im speachless.The damaged and worn out look of the armor is fookin amazing.

I got em from a door to door sailsmen but i would assume that you could order em from their website. they also have a lifetime warenty!!

Cut-Co salesmen shouldn't go door to door, as they are strictly by referal. I know because one of my brothers used to sell them, when all of his contact referals dried up, he basically had to stop.
None the less, I stand by it that they are the best brand of knives/cutlery around.

Again, Awsome Job

Looks good! I might try some work with foam on my next project. I can get the plasti-dip spray for like $4 from my wifes work so I could come out fairly cheap.

 

[TD2253]

Really nice weathering and battle damage effects! Your foam build turned out great!

 

[TheBradinator]

I got my forarms done! I also attached my thighs to the cod peice with velcro and it works great!!!

I ordered some plastic buckles to attach the shoulders to the torso.

Its lookin pertty good! all i have left is the lower legs, feet, and hand plates!

Get Er Done!
