Drgnfyre4's Foam War Machine!

Here is a progress thread for my build up of War Machine out of foam. Thank you to Juice and Stealth for all the work on the files and Youtube how to videos from Theherotutorials!

This size of the shoulders is freaking bad ass!

Back before I add some extra detail to it.

Test fitting the parts so far. Its so light and comfy....makes me wish I had done my Master Chief out of foam!!

made my own pattern for the ab section so it looked a bit more film accurate.
Below is a multi angle shot without all of the background clutter. Cant wait to start on the lower half and then get to the GUNS!!!

got home from the gym last night and decided to just have a go at the helmet. Got it done in roughly five hours. Far from perfect, but not bad for the short time frame. I have a really nice resin cast helmet on its way to me this week, but this gives me something to mess around with until that arrives.

and a quick shot of it on. Not a bad fit at all!

Nice job on the helmet, unless you look really closely its hard to tell its made from foam, I think you pulled off one of the better looking foam buckets on here so far

Thanks everyone. I think the one thing I am most stoked about this build is the comfort factor. I am in my mid forties and been costuming for YEARS, and armor has been harder and harder to wear for long periods of time at conventions as I just slow down and have more aches and pains. Foam however, is so light and soft its like not even having anything on me...I am so hooked on foam!

Nice work man. It is good to see that you have now been converted to the foam side. I must say it does have far more advantages over glassed armour. If you really think a foam build through and use the right tools you can achieve the same results but light and comfy as you said.

Paint....someone say Paint.

Love how it's looking. Awesome looking foam work. This should be yet another Epic build from you. And it is getting there fast.
