Hi
I'm Starting with my First Armor Build.
I use Foam it is a lot more easy to use then Fiberglass.

So I start with a Shin:

20120919_112119_zpsbfbed8cb.jpg


After I made the first Shin I decided to start with the Chest:

20120919_112419_zps11ec8f3b.jpg


The Chest is not ready now.
But I decided to make other parts before I make the Chest ready.
The next I made is one Forearm:

So the last one I made jet is the bicep and the Scout Shoulder:

I really like what I see. ;)
What did you use to seal the foam? plasti-dip? pva wood glue?
Did you use a specific primer or something before applying the paint?
 
1. Thx
2. I use pva wood glue
3. At the moment I havn`t painted any foam pices because no time, in the next days I test it withe normal matt black and then mat gray over the black.
I don't test it on the armor I will use a test pice and will write here how it works.
