I dont think I've seen an HP/Parafoil on here yet. Nice job! The fact that it detaches is also a nice touch.

Having never played Halo for more than half an hour I'm not sure if I am completely correct in my assumption, but are you going to be adding more detail on the cod (like maybe just defining it more)?
I'm not trying to insult you or anything because it still looks awesome, but I was just wondering.
Even if you don't add the detail, it is very impressive. Keep up the good work
I would.. But I don't really see anymore detail.. lol. That and I just got the plasti-dip on today. (pics up tomorrow!)

The battle damage on the shoulder is perfect, I'm impressed. Your painting it beautiful too, make me worried and excited about starting my foam project!
Question though, why did you decide to pep your helmet and not make it out of foam? In most of the foam builds I've seen, the maker makes the same decision, and I was wondering why.

With the little experience with Foam and pep that I have, Its much easier to manipulate the paper to have the curved and contoured effect than it is by using the foam. Its also easier to apply the bondo to the paper than it is to the foam to have the curved effect (atleast in my experience).

Ohhh okay. That makes sense.
But, I think that if you use a heating technique, you can heat up the foam and bend it, after it cools it 'should' hold its shape, but I can't promise it since I haven't done it yet myself. But there is this blog I read here that teaches how to help bend and manipulate foam. I don't know how well it works. Once I try it (if I try it) I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thank you for your answer!

The only problem is that you have to hold it in the shape you want until it completely cools. Then, if a part of it goes awry and you have to do it again, well you get the idea. lol.
Basically personaly I think its just easier to do a helmet in pep since you can put resin on it and then walk away and do something else instead of constantly holding it

Touche good sir, touche.
Hm, maybe I'll do both, just for experience's sake. All I know is that I have no idea where to begin after I finish the pep model. Lol.

Very nice! i would like to learn how to do foam work, does anyone ahve a site or helpful tips to help me learn on how to make this myself? thanks.
I got 12 9-LED flashlights. Rewiring them is a lot of work, but at only $2 each (That's $24 for 108 LED!), can't be beat!
Vary bright too.

This is coming along really well. I might have to use your idea with the hook for my HP/Parafoil.
