Maybe the bayonet could be foam too. Keep everyone from puttin their own eye out.

Added a test file for foam mkV helmet from halo. If someone wants to test then go right ahead. Tell me if there is anything i can fix.

Also what's your opinion on tryign to make some foam weps? thin peices will be used with foamies (sheet kind).

Foam is a good medium for armor, but trying to harden it enough for weapons is kinda difficult. I am more a sliced sintra kind of guy when it comes to weapons. You can keep the details and make your own holes inside for electronics and such. Not to mention, a little bondo on the outside and you can't even tell it is sliced.

You can also throw in some details that aren't normally apparent to pepakura weapons. A couple of magnets and you can make a magazine that seats perfectly and can be removed. A hollow interior is perfect for taking the guys out of a toy laser pistol and installing the trigger and a speaker to make lights and sounds. You can even use a magnet to hold the battery cover on so you can replace them.

On something like the spartan laser (a possible future project of mine), you can make the forward part magnetic to open and close, if you wanted to. A two-part sliced Magnum could have a spring so you can actually pull the action back to "chamber a round." If you make a needler, you can make it hollow and make the needles out of acrylic, then add a light and a magnet to hold them in and you have a lit needler.

Do you think you can unfold Marcus' armor in that Gears pep thread I posted earlier?

[hellome]

Idk It might be hard since I only make foam friendly templates from already unfolded files. but I will give it a shot!

this has been a use, helping a friend putting together a fenix outfit for a cosplay party atthe end of the year

If anyone has some files (preferably unfolded!!) that they want to be foam friendly send me a message or post here. I will be happy to help anyone.

I made a shoulderpad from the gears of war armor, and it's big as hell and awesome. I'm going to start on the chest piece soon, but there aren't any of the numbers to show what goes where, so it's going to be REALLY confusing. Anyway you could add those on there, or am I just up shit creek? haha

Do you have a 4shared you can put it on? If not send it to me via email I sent you a private message.
