I'd say 'no' mainly because of the helmet, shield, etc are all eva foam. If it was metal, maybe rubber-molded stuff, sure. But I wouldn't risk all this eva foam work. Also, feather is eva foam. I don't have a link on hand, but SKS Props have a free helmet template and youtube tutorial that was...

First (mostly) finished piece! LETS GOOOOOO This Vallejo liquid mask is great! Just have to remember all the area you put it on... Gonna take pics of the pieces after the application so I know. I went with two 'mini-layers' with the Tamiya Dark Green 2 (RAF). First was the highlighting...

Progress time. I went in and used Vallejo Liquid Mask on the helmet. Its my first time using it, so its a bit a wild card to me, atm. I'm going to finish up the helmet's paintjob first, so I know if I'm using the stuff properly. Then sprayed with the Rustoleum Eden. I'll get to the airbrushing...

Not sure exactly how far into the whole thing I'm in, but I'm working on it slowly and parallel with Chief and all the other stuff I started. Helmet: Shins and wrists progress: Shield progress: Got fabric from Joann's during Halloween time and looks pretty good for fake chainmail...

You're probably right, but there's always that little voice telling you the whole world is going to see it. Well, time for some updates. Shoulders are still WIP, a lot of back and forth with the filling and sanding kwik seal, but nearly there. Still gotta smooth out/fill the foam clay and...

Shoulders are done and awaiting the filling, yada yada yada. Trust me, I didn't yada yada over the best part. Anyway, those vertical side holes on the front and back are gonna get filled with foam clay. My brain just wasn't figuring out make those details with foam. Foam clay it is. The...

I've been Tamiya nearly exclusively for airbrushing, haha. Their thinner has been working well for me, I'll look into that, is that the Mr. Color Leveling? And is it still 2:1?

I'll be airbrushing it. To darken up the Eden spray can.

Tonight's shoulder progress! About halfway with the bicep portion. Foam clay is about to come in clutch once again. I also figured out the paint job and began painting! The process is looking like: PlastiDip Black primer Mask off black pieces Silver primer Liquid Mask off paint chips and...

I double on the suggestion to just do a bunch of research on foam. Here, Punished Props, Evil Ted, etc etc. There is a lot going on with tools and techniques. On note of the Heroes Workshop files, you mileage with them will vary. They aren't as complete as they need to be and not beginner...

Back at it, started the shoulders today and got the pauldron parts done. Levels, Jerry, levels! This scene popped in my head when I was making the center parts. Anyway, happy how these turned out.

And progress from the past few days. Calling the back completely done! Not too happy with the top section here, but it really shouldn't be seen all that much. As for the magnets, I went with E6000 to adhere the magnets on the sides, then a contact cement the 'decorative cover' and will add...

Actually, what sort of glue should I be using to stick magnets to foam? Just stick with Loctite super glue or contact cement?

I meant the piece that's in between/separates the magnets. They came packaged with that piece, as they'd be impossible to pull apart. But still, roger that.

Decided to save the Kwik Seal and foam clay work for the very last. Today I dremel'd the edges, and took care of rigging. The very last circle detail on the hexagon piece will probably be the last thing on the back. I probably have to cut it up for the magnets. If I remove that plastic...
