EOD foam helmet first time cosplaying

[Slayer241489]

Hello, first time posting. Built a foam EOD helmet to go along with a mark v suit, just about to douse it in some plastidip. This is my first time working with foam, pepakura, etc, perfectionist inside me is going nuts how the right "snout" is tilted, but i still like how it looks!

that's extremely impressive for being your first time working with foam. Most people struggle with foam helmets (Even experiences foamsmithers) and that looks fantastic!

Thank you!, its nice to hear that about your own work sometimes especially where you can be your own worst critic.

For a helmet with such complicated geometry that’s an absolute stellar first build with foam!! You’ve got a lot of really nice seam lines in there, keep it up and you’ll be a legend at this in no time!

Great looking EOD lid you got there!

dang, great job on the helmet. Foam is very infuriating to make helmets out of, but you did a stellar job. kudos to you, must've taken awhile.

funny thing, i originally made a pep/bondo mark v helmet that took a month to sand and look good; i really didnt like how it turned out. I made an impulse decision to try and build an eod helmet from foam and I found it so much easier to work with. I think just putting the helmet together took like a week and a half

Looks amazing, especially for the first time. Your cuts are clean and the seams look awesome. What adhesive did you use for your pieces? Can't wait to see the final result and more!

Thanks! my cuts were really jagged but I was able to get the the pieces to fit together really nicely with just good ol loctite super glue

90% done helmet! Primed and painted; may have gone too far in a few places with the weathering. Am gonna put a finishing layer of matte coat soon. Overall i like how it turned out! Think itll look good with my mark v suit

Amazing build! Also you can never have too much weathering

How the full suit is going so far. My Bro demanded me to put "everything" on
