foam

Hey folks! New member here. The goal of this thread is to document the progress on my first foam armour build and to get some feedback to help me along the way. For those interested in some background, I am relatively new to the cosplay scene with only 2 builds under my belt, with minimal DIY...

This is my first time making a post like this, but I'm hoping to start making a lot more posts of what I've worked on and what I am working on. This isn't my first build, and hopefully won't be my last either, will probably post comparisons with my previous sets. Any way here is what I am...

Here's my progress on my Kelly build. I got the Boots, Shins, and Thighs mostly done. The boots still need a couple minor additions and they all still need to be cleaned up with kwik seal and a dremel. First almost full leg suit up. Feels good man. The boots have this super thicc foam in...

Good morning! I finally finished doing all the retopology in Blender for this model and have unfolded the entire suit into foam templates. I purposely left out the small details in the armor because templates aren't needed for it. For the legs, I put the templates there for the shin part of the...

Good morning! I noticed a massive lack of Destiny peps for foam or paper. The ones I do find are never an entire suit, just a weapon or helm here and there. I decided to learn Blender and did a complete Retypology of the Strife helm to do an unfold in Pepakura Designer. I've always worked in...

So starting this thread is actually a little overdue as i had actually started during the holiday season BUT none the less its time to get started. I wanted to be able to get some feedback on my work and also be able to discuss how I went about my process as I am always happy to talk about...

hello everyone! I'm finally back posting threads on the forum after quite some time! I recently got a commission to build a halo reach style needler what I'm planning to do is build everything out of laser engraved EVA foam, similar to how I built my plasma rifle last year with some...

Hey guys! I'm a noob taking the first steps to putting together their first suit, a MJOLNIR MKV with MKV/B helmet in vein of Halo: Reach. I thought I'd share my first physical progress with you all as the information, templates and community I've found here are second to none! Below is the as...

(Spanish) Buenos dias, tardes o noches para todos, bueno, como me prometí este fin de año, decidí remasterizar uno de mis primeras armaduras, en este thread explicare todo lo que tuve que hacer para terminarlo, sin mas, explicare lo primero...

Hello 405th members! This is my first post, i have not built anything yet but i am gathering supplies for an ODST build. I am a brand new member but i have over a decade of auto body and aviation experience. I believe i have found an excellent solution for sealing EVA foam to last for a long...

Hey guys! I thought it would be nice to have one thread where we could be sharing our current WIP :) Right now I'm working on 3 costumes at once XD I'm doing Jessie, Biggs and Wedge from Final Fantasy VII remake and my goal is to have all the armor pieces ready to paint before Christmas :) I'm...

Hello, I have made some progress on my h4 elite, such as... scaling props and weapons, planning, and learning how to work with 5-6 mm eva foam. Also, can someone help me out? I don't know how to post pics because now I have to put in a dumb htttp. Does anyone know how to post pics? If so, thank you!

UPDATE: All finished! The undersuit needs work and some straps but I'm not wearing this set out any time soon so I'm in no hurry. Just glad the armor itself is made. I took a small break during the holidays and made very little progress, then finished the set off recently. All in all this...

*PIC HEAVY* My first step was to use the pepakura files from the Armoury to build the base helmet using 5mm foam. I also built the Elite head pep to make sure the two fit together I pinned on some strips to make sure it held the right shape before slushing some plaster on the inside. This...

So starting out. I love my odst! But I need something more booth comfy and less hot. And I got thinking a halo marine might do it and then after seeing everyone at HOD Philly and how everyone looked comfortable in marine armor I was sold. So the armor has begun This is the model I am...

Starting a Mark IV foam build for a game I'm going to so it'll be team themed as well. This is the first time trying to make something of this scale. Using the files from the halo wars mark IV post at Halo Wars - MJOLNIR Mark IV - Standard Let's see how it goes!

So my wife was able to make it to HOD, and she went in costume on Saturday. At the end of the weekend she said that her favorite part was being in costume and helping with the 405th. So naturally, I am going to be making a Spartan for her next year along with myself. So I brought her into...

Since I have a plasma grenade %50 done right now I have started on some Marine armor. I’m going to post updates here as things continue on. The one in the last picture on the right is a little larger compared to the one on the left. That’s not intended but I need to see what looks best on me...

Just starting the post and getting ready to start posting eventual progress of my Sylvanas Windrunner build to keep myself accountable. To start, I have gathered some reference material via HoTS. Blizzard actually released a really nice reference kit that I am using to try and blueprint her bow...

I'm building a Halo 3 Battle Rifle from EVA-50 foam. I'll be using these files as resources, provided in raw by TurboCharizard and modified by me. Here's what that looks like printed out at scale Here is the original source image as provided by the great TurboCharizard And his notes:

To go along with my Combat Evolved Marine cosplay, I'll be making the assault rifle from the same game - a classic combo. I've started to draw the template for it based off a screengrab, trying to take into account the perspective view: Although while making it I had one question: where is...

Hey 405th, posting here instead of the RPF to show the development of my Halo Combat Evolved Marine cosplay. I'm using this EXTREMELY helpful thread for nearly all my references (thank you Jubal for all the shots!). So far I've done the bulk of the helmet, done the shoulders and now working on...

(SPANISH) Buenos dias gente de la 405th, hoy tengo tiempo libre, asi que voy a subir todos mis progresos de mi otro cosplay del videojuego de Gears of War, en especifico, el de la armadura de la Coalicion basica (que lo llevan los soldados de la COG, Baird, Minh y los Carmine), con la variacion...

EDIT Current Progress: suit completed Hi All, After browsing the forums for a couple years I finally have moved somewhere with a workspace to dedicate to cosplay. A few hundred dollars later after buying all the suggested crafting tools/mats/materials I am finally getting into crafting. I have...

Hello, is this in the right section? :) Woohoo I won a $200 voucher from a cosplay supply, er, supplier. Before ordering some foamy goodness I wanted to ask what are the generally accepted foam thicknesses best used for an ODST (except helmet which I've 3D printed)? I've done some trawling...
