Hey guys and gals of the 405th hope your projects are coming along well.
As the tilte suggests this is my first build using foam and hopefully it won't be a complete catastrophe. I have done fibre glass and although the armour made was alright it was alot more expensive than i would have hoped it to be.
This was my fibreglass build as as you can see not great but acceptable i would think.
Anyway moving on my Avatar consists of Carter's helmet the collar breacher chest armour ( still can't find a working pep link to the collar attachment ) Fj para knee guards and shins, the commando shoulder on my left and the multi threat shoulder on my right ( again can't seem to find a pep file for it )
Having bought the foam for the build i hit a problem straight away....the foam is textured on both sides.
Underside
Topside
If any of you guys know a way of lossing this texture without having to spary bucket loads of plasti dip and paint i'd appreciate it, using old school methods such as pva glue and even liquid latex have come with poor results.
That said i'm looking forward to posting more on this awesome site!!
