Thanks guys. still, did anyone try to use foamies for pepping? I'm having my exams right now so I can't really go and get the stuff and try.

I see... does this mean that I can't use foamies for pepakura models? and can it be used instead of a fiberglass cloth or mat? I know this might sound bizzare but isn't the main job of a fiberglass cloth to hold a bigger amount of resin so it can cure better? please correct me if I'm wrong.

I've seen armor parts made before by foamies or flexifoam I think (Ethica did show a cod piec made out of flexifoam) so the question is can anyone explain how to use it in armour making or tell me where to start? also, where are the places you usually find the stuff? I'd really appreciat it.

if I apply heat with a hair dryer will that help?? and when do I apply the heat? and if this helps is there any suggested methods to use to heat the piece up?

great! let me know as soon as you're done, right now I'm about to start my own experiment. I panted the inside of a shin piece with normal paint used with wood,metal,etc. I'm not sure if this would do the trick but I'll be resining it when it dries. and I do think the multi layer resin could...

It might seem trivial, but I noticed that when you use the resin on a paper that doesn't absorb it (paper covered with permenant water-proof marker) it holds up way much better than having the bare paper absorb part of the resin. I also noticed that the remaining resin in the mixing bowl...

I agree. in the end it's all personal preference. but I need to know how reliableare the fomies when placed in the final model. I mean will it be that good? and if it is, is there a way to use it for the cod piece? and what kind of materials do I need to use for that (glue, foamie type,etc.)?

Ah those... how good are they, will they withstand any pressure? do I use them as pep later after cutting out resined part? thanks

layerd craft foam? how can I do that? Do I apply them after I fiberglass resin the piece without the inner piece? I'd appreciate if you could provide a link and about the clay method: I have niether the experience nor the time nor the space. and I think he made the under armor with...

about the HD mark IV thigh is it better with or without the inner peice adjacent to the front cod piece (the part usually painted black)? I doubt it might kill mobility if used, and I plan on making a one that gives proper range of motion thanks

Thanks, all of you, I'll see them now. by the way I intend on using flying squirl's chest hope that helps.

Hi, I'm Hamdi and I'm a noob :unsure everyone: Hi Hamdi I tried to search for a proper scaling method for the chest piece (this includes the back) but no luck so far, tried youtbe, the search at this forums, google, you name it... and the numbers that the various formulas out there...
