I am re-doing just about all my suit except the forearms, shoulders, and helmet, but in foam!

#612-11-2010, 08:27 AMThat chestplate looks really nice. I noticed that it looks like you built part of the underarmor out of foam too. Is there a prp file that includes that or something? I noticed that timecon included the same thing in his foam build of the chestplate. If I do a Reach spartan, I would like to include that underarmor part on mine too.

How many pieces of foam so far for the chest plate and thigh?
How difficult was the forearm in foam?

#812-11-2010, 11:12 AMThank you very much. I eye-balled the underarmor for the chest and thigh so thats kinda whatcha gotta do.Originally posted by HaloGoddess View PostThat chestplate looks really nice.

and thank you tooOriginally posted by cujo3131 View Post i roughly used about 7 total, cuz i have many layers in the pieces for durability and to close off openings (such as the gap between my back and the back of the torso piece, which i layered up with foam). and like i stated before, i eye-balled the underarmor which took a lot of time to work out the angled and make sure the shape still turned out right.

#1012-13-2010, 01:17 AMit is pretty easy and fun, its faster for me because i was never really good at pepping and smoothing models. it all depends on what you are making , like of course helmets should be pepped and hardened, foam is necessary for files that have a lot of large flat surfacesOriginally posted by darknemisisComment

#1212-13-2010, 01:37 AMI cant exactly help you with that, it depends on where you buy the foam. i heard that harbor freights sell 4 for $10. but i dont have one anywhere near me so i get them at meijer 6 for $20. and i ended up using 5 sheets for my reach chest piece and odst chest core.Comment

I have to agree this method works out great for the larger armor parts.Comment
