The Foam your using, It's the Soft floor mats from meijer right? If so, how well is it holding shape?

I was thinking about puttin some on the soles of my boots to give me a little more lift. Just thought the meijer stuff was too rubbery and soft. I'm using the Harbor freight mats.

What about using grip-tape?
great idea!!!!
I just used one of the HD files from "The Official Halo Reach Pepakura Files Thread", and made all of the underpieces and such myself

Really nice armor and progress so far, I think I just might hop down to the Harbor Freight payday and nab me some foam. Been waiting for the weather to warm up so I can resin/glass my reach torso and such.
Do you use your Exacto for cutting the foam or something else? It's rare I post these days but your armor looks pretty darn cool.

since i cant have my foam materials in my dormitory, im just working on a MKVI helmet and a Gungnir, and may start on the soft case utility. which i found a neat buckle that will work perfectly for the front.

well it seems i'm taking my work to the dormitory so that i may continue
sorry for double posting
oh and if you do manage to read this, has anyone seen any bags out there that closely resembles the soft case utility?

Here is some response to Mflanny34's request
this is a picture of the connection between the shoulder and torso, as you can see i made loops with the nylon strapping and attached them to a well secured piece of foam so that there can be adjusting from side to side. the strapping is sewn together with a layer of gorilla tape.
then here is that section below the armpit and same design on the belt. just where i keep the buckle. ive got the buckle pieces sewn onto the nylon webbing aand a good length of the webbing (3"-5") glued between the layers of foam
and here is a picture of a guy on my floor wearing the top half of the suit
and soon to come, thanks to Iganderson and his awesome modeling, i will be building the Grenadier knees, and then adding on the shotgun shell attachment to the chest. all followed by some more of the strapping of pieces together and hopefully painting... and making a nice pair of boots.
