Hey all, I've been absent from the site for quite some time, but come back occasionally to check up on the newest and coolest threads

I've been really heavy into building with foam lately, and decided to build some weapons from the Halo universe to go with the suit. Here's a quick picture dump of my build. They still need some paint, but the temperature is sub zero here in Canada, and I don't have any way to paint indoors at the moment.



Here's some WIP pics









The grip is fold-able, and the mag comes out (cause moving parts, YAY!)



Thanks for looking guys!

About 10 hours time, each.

I apologize about necro-ing my old thread, but I didn't want to start a whole new one for an update on this project.

I finally got around to getting some paint on these things, and so here's a picture for you guys. If you wanna see more, check out the album on my Facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.735305169910688.1073741830.566270170147523&type=3

How thick is it? And where did you get the foam?

I'm curious as to how you made the mags stay in place. Mine always try to pop out from the side when I do it.

Thanks for helping. Unfortunately good magnets are hard to come by in my area, I mean you can find magnets but not good ones...

No worries, you can get rare earth magnets online. I usually get mine from amazon or ebay.

Edit: If I had to guess, he probably used magnets like these.
