I haven't used foam before, but I now have all the tools I need and I've read up on how to do everything. However, I think I should start simple. I'm pretty busy with school and work but I still wanted to make a foam suit of armor in time for Halloween. Does anyone know of any quick and easy...

Re: Gears of War 3 Baird Foam Full Suit(scratch built). Will be ready for release ni I hate to bring this back from the dead, but like DRG above, I also need the PDF files for the boots, there should be about 10 of them if I remember correctly. Does anyone have them? The links are dead.

Kyre! Great to see you are alive and well. I hope to get this suit started back up in a few weeks. If I can get it at least fiber glassed and bondo'd by Halloween, I would be happy. Of course, having a finalized suit would be preferred lol. I will comb over it again and look for some problem...

This thread was dead because of all the problems that the 405th forums were having. Once they went back online, I couldn't register for months for some glitch or something. I nearly suffered a stroke when I found my thread intact. I have not worked on the suit in a long time, starting it back...

I appreciate the kind word, JavaLodge! I just quit my job to concentrate on school and fixing up the house, so maybe I can get the chest done at the same time. I might need to lose a bit of weight to fit into the torso, but now I have that time as well haha.

I have a Rubies Master Chief suit that I modified with paint, LEDs, a new visor and some straps. I have used it for a few years and people are tired of it. I was making a Marcus Fenix costume, but won't be finished in time for Halloween. This means the Chief suit is being dusted off for another...

Like all of us, you will need to cut it in half. The dimensions are not that human, so while my chest and shoulders fit, my stomach wont at the bottom of the suit. If I made my stomach fit, I wouldnt have the bulging upper torso to fill the large suit. I don't see any other alternative than...

It still blows my mind how foam can turn into this kind of stuff, but well done! I sadly won't have my costume done in time for Halloween but I already have a master chief one so I will wear that again. Goodluck!

Life has gotten in the way the last two weeks so much that I had not an ounce of time to work on my costume. 3 tests in one week to study for, family in town, friends in town, two computers to repair, and a wedding invitation to design. FK! This means there is no possible way this will be...

Looks great so far, job well done! Goodluck with the sanding, I have a long way before I get to that part of my Marcus build. Speaking of Marcus Fenix, I am still in the pep stage and won't get the suit done in time for Halloween. Life got in the way one too many times. I essentially have one...

Update time Bishes. So, chances of getting the entire suit complete by Halloween? Pretty much Zero. School is kicking my @$$ and I have side computer jobs, friends in town, and 3 tests to study for for next week. I still have not finished pepping the chest, but I am close-ish. Once the chest is...

great information. I will not use spray adhesive and will do the old fashion methods that I used for my Halo armor. Are you able to do a fake suit up to show us what u have done so far?

I love seeing parents make costumes for their kids. It really means the world to them.

According to my information, the picture you have of Marcus back to back with that girl is not Anya, she is actually a girl named Alex. However, I could be wrong. Anya did not start fighting till Gears 3, and the armor that Marcus is wearing is Gears 2 and back. I look forward to you getting...

I assume you used that boot template? Well done so far, I have hope for when I start foaming my belts, arm pads and boots now.
