Very nice looking foam work so far, and if anyone can pull off a Foam helmet it would be you. I find myself looking forward to see how this comes out.

This looks great. but I do have a question. What thickness of foam are you using? It looks like you are using a thinner 4mm or 6mm foam.

The foam mats that I used are 8 mm thick. I got them from liquidation station. They are a bit smaller size than the one from wallmart and a lot softer, easier to work with.

Whoa. Both those buckets look fantastic. I've been thinking about trying my hand at foam again after failing spectacularly both times. Awesome job, I wanna see more!

Thank you. My marine helmet is probably too small for you Drack because I have a tiny head.
