simply amazing ! what incredible work. i just have to ask one thing, how would you seal and paint over the foam ? from my experiences foam and paint don't get along

Plasti-dip works fantastically for sealing this type of foam. The smooth side soaks it up like a sponge and provides for a very constant smooth surface. The patterned side doesn't really need coating as it's not as open cell as the rest.

Behold the evolution. I was wondering when there would be a breakthrough.
Nice work.

And How many of the foam puzzels did you use?

wow would have never thought of that. that may as well work really well to use for detail work with other mediums like the standard way of doing things. thanks for bringing this up and showing your work. that is awesome. please keep us informed and how the painting goes.

The most innovative new armor building technique I've seen. It's looking great , what are you using to bond pieces together ?

Alright- I bought some of this foam and am having much less than stellar results. Any chance you can post up a mini tut or at least some protips? Your work looks great and I'd like to know how to replicate it.
