    Hot Glue gone bad.

    Elmer's glue, when dry, will hold cardstock together just fine. The paper will tear away before the glue does, even when it's not 100% dried out. The thin layer guarantees a quick drying time. The reason why is that the cardstock absorbs most of the liquid in the glue and the rest dries out...

    Stop creating threads like this. There are good threads that are stickied that already suit these kinds of questions.

    Starship Troopers EVA Foam Armor Templates and Pep Helmet Files

    This thread is a year and a half old. Don't bump super old threads like this. Obviously the link died in that time.

    Hot Glue gone bad.

    This. You barely need a drop. Smear it with a finger or something to get a nice, thin layer and stick. You get a little time to reposition and it sets very quickly so you're never waiting for it to dry.

    [FINISHED] I'm alive, I'm back, and I'm starting my own foam armor build! (Pic heavy)

    The only other one I can find by him is the EOD helmet from Reach. It does look pretty easy to do in foam as well. fat-hi555's Reach Security helmet can be converted to foam pretty easily as well. A lot of it just has to do with how well the helmet is modeled for detail vs. ease of...

    [FINISHED] I'm alive, I'm back, and I'm starting my own foam armor build! (Pic heavy)

    I did Hugh Holder's ODST helmet out of 3mm Silly Winks foam from Hobby Lobby. It's a small addon to get to the Reach version. I can link you to that one if you're interested(you can see my thread for pictures of it). I also have found that IroniumCostuming's JFO is extremely foam friendly...

    Halo 4 Pepakura (Files within)

    Huge image dump in this week's Halo Bulletin. New helmets, new armor sets. Don't miss all the super hi-res images at the bottom of each specialization. Even profile and angle images of the Boltshot and Suppressor(I think these are new) for anyone that models guns.

    Bullpup Mechanism

    It couldn't be simpler on a P90. See the black wire that's shaped kind of like a bottle? That is connected to the trigger and runs back to the gearbox. When you pull the trigger, it pushes the wire backwards and causes the gearbox to fire. It's purely mechanical and probably different...

    "Flex Seal" on my armor?

    Plasti-Dip in an aerosol can is still cheaper than the Rustoleum stuff by about $2. Still haven't seen anything cheaper as far as rattle cans go.

    I'm just fixing the part around the corner of the mouth-chin.
