When you work with foam, you need to think 3 dimensionally. The template you use from Pepakura is in 2 dimension. When you translate that to foam, you are dealing with another face (depth of the foam).
To hide the edges, you need to cut at an angle, as previously mentioned in my earlier post. Let me illustrate with a quict 3D image I put together.
The chin piece is the Iron Man bottom piece. You cut at the red line. The jaw is illustrated by the rectangle. You cut at the red line at an angle. Put some hot glue on edge of A and B. Butt both pieces together. Next apply more glue on the inside. Now you have a complete piece
If you do it correctly, it shoud look like this.
Hope that helps.
yayy lol
Looks good now and after a few more practice pieces and you will be able to make a perfect suit. Good job
Woot! Gratz man that's it, you've done it. Well done for sticking with it and not giving in. Ok so I am thinking you get some more basic pieces done as I know there are a couple on the warmachine build. Then when you feel ready I would say go for the torso as this is also a fairly straightforward piece but much bigger so you want to be confident enough to do it with out any hiccups. You are now on your way to making your first suit. One thing I would say from experience, helmets are the hardest part to do in foam so maybe leave that till after you have perfected your technique on the rest of the suit. Good luck and stick with it as the reward at the end is awesome
Well done buddy, make sure you do as Drak has suggested and you'll have a suit in no time
After I finish the helmet (Just to try out the pep foam template) I find out that the t template need some adjustment (your own creativity) so you need to be aware of that. You see the face plate comes out a little short.
