[IRSHCWGRL]

Wow. The foam looks great. Nice job.

Thanks!


Shins in progress

 

[tmccarty23]

This is a really great built. Your suit is going to be epic.

Are you just spray painting the foam?

(love your nerf conversion)

 

[IRSHCWGRL]

Thanks dude!

And as far as painting goes...
I WAS spraying with Plasti-Dip, THEN painting them.
I did a test yesterday with just black spray paint, and the EVA Foam doesn't seem to eat the paint.
So I MIGHT just be using spray paint from now on...



Mini Update:
1 1/2 shins are done
Chest attachment done!
Any ideas on what parts I should make next?

(PS, both the times of my first post & this post are purley coincidental, yet hilarious!)

 

[tmccarty23]

I say go with the shoulders next.

I was going to give the plasti dip a try, but I might have to experiment with just the paint now. Thanks.

 

[IRSHCWGRL]

Thanks!, and good luck!

Onto thee shoulders....after the shins....

 

[IRSHCWGRL]

Sorry for double post but,

UPDATE


Okay, ive done numerus tests and...EVA foam floor mats do not eat paint,
it only takes a few coats, and it looks fine, no need for plasti-dip! Well, thats for me, might be different for you.

 

[Kiba963]

You mean how I attached it?

yeah. How did you attach the visor?

 

[IRSHCWGRL]

yeah. How did you attach the visor?

I actually attached it with caulking, put a bunch of towels inside the helmet to hold it in place, apply caulking, whalah!

 

[Road Kill]

hey very nice build man, it looks really great and keep up the good work

 

[active84u]
