You can upload them to a site like photo bucket, once that is done, click on the pic you want to post, then to the right you will see this...

Next, click on the direct link that I have high lighted in green. This will copy the link for you. Then go to your thread on the 405th (having multiple tabs open is easiest), click post reply, if I'm posting pics I always click "go advanced" which opens up the full editor. This way you can preview your post before submitting to make sure it's the way you want it. To post a pic here, you will need to click on the image button seen below outlined in green...

You will then get a pop up that looks like this...

You will need to paste the link you copied earlier here, then click ok. Again, use the preview post button to see whether or not you have done it right. Once you're happy with your post, click "submit reply" and you're all set! I hope this helps and if you have need anything else please ask. I'll help where I can.

I love seeing foam builds! I will be watching this one. The helmet looks great! The detail you have put in is amazing. What kind of foam are you using?

Nice work so far man. I really want to get some of the foam you are using as it is much easier to get clean cuts. There is a guy in the UK that uses it and looks awesome. Really looking forward to see how you get on.

(quik question to does who use plastazote foam) i was thinking of put liquid latex on the armor and then spray plasti-dip al over it to make it more smooth like and be able to spay paint on it but im not sure if i sould do that. i knot that u can use pva but im looking for a alternative way to make it more flexible and look it more smooth any suggestions ?

How porous is the material? My only concern would be if the material is too porous the plasti-dip or latex will either eat way at the material or not turn out smooth. Many foam builders will use High Density/EVA foam for builds because it is a solid piece of material and plasti-dip will coat it smoothly.

I would recommend taking a sample of the material you are using and test out your method. Don't risk ruining any of the pieces you have worked hard on (which look awesome by the way). If the material is what I think it is, I would try using the paint on plasti-dip rather than the spray on stuff, it may fill in better and give you a smooth coat in the end, and it's usually cheaper per can too.

I never used PVA, I just used straight up Plasti-dip and then used a spray paint for vinyl and platic. I don't know how much PVA is, or if you have any on hand, but you could always try both methods on test pieces of material.
