I wouldn't try to bondo and resin the foam that would just turn out disasterous. Foam and resin just don't mix, and with foam being flexible it would make the bondo break and crack if any stress is applied to it. Plastidip is probally the way to go, I didnt use it on my Dead Space build and I wish I had just for that little bit of extra strength in the foam. Can't wait to see your project come along tho, it looks awesome so far!

There is a way to bondo (ish) foam, but it will take a lot to do it. Thread here: http://www.therpf.com/f24/foam-rondo-new-foam-mark-8-glove-149883/

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile! See, my modding team for Amnesia: The Dark Descent, decided to switch up plans and now our WIP mod is being turned into an indie single player game on UDK, so I had to go about learning UDK, how objects import and all its editors, as well as learn new 3D modelling programs such as Zbrush, and xNormal (This is probably useless to most of you, but some 3D modellers here should get what I'm talking about). So needless to say, that took up a good week or so... I also just recently finished modeling and unfolding the Halo 4 Wetworks helmet for the forums here. So I hope that helps =]
So yeah, that's what I've been up to mostly... Now, on the Engineer suit... The chest and rib pieces were so monotonous... So many small, angular pieces. It took a few days to finally get everything printed, traced, and cut. Thankfully everything came out proportionate. And foam is a work of wonder for this build. It has flexibilty and gives each piece its own depth depending on how thick I choose them to be. Foam is perfect for this build. A quick heads up, I have all the chest/torso pieces cut. The reason the ones on the waist and back were not shown is because I'm almost out of tape, so I only put the front pieces on. Let me know! I also think I'm going to keep this shirt as a base. It's a form fitting thermal shirt and keeps the arm pieces on relatively nicely... Though the tape sucked...

Nice suit. That does look tedious but the foam is coming along nicely. Can't wait to see the finished product.

You have NO idea ^^ My favorite suit from my favorite game franchise... I get so stoked every time I put it on. I think after some work with the team, I'm gonna jump into working on the boots. I already have one piece done from week ago, the fat thing on the calf. lol
Thanks! It sure is tedious, but would be HELL of a lot more if it was all in pepakura. I'm glad I made the switch...
Sorry for double post, but I have a little update on the boot parts! =] Happy New Years by the way!
I was going to slap on the shoe parts, but they wouldn't stay, so I'll have to figure out a way to have them mounted. Might just screw them into old boots... Harnessing this build is going to be an adventure in its own...

Awesome man I really like it Gonna look amazing when it's done.
Gonna look amazing when it's done.Updating a bit. No photos though.
1) I began cutting out and glued some of the RIG. I also ordered teal LED strips for the lights before New Years Eve. Unfortunately, they got lost in transit and have to ship out a new one for me >> Derp.
2) REDACTED AGAIN--
3) I decided to change my deadline for the suit. I'm not going to have it done in time for DS3's release as I want the suit to come out right. I'm going to take my time with it rather than rush. =P
So yeah, just a bit of updates. No pictures yet =\

Don't touch those links up above they scream virus.

I don't know =\ They have been gone for awhile recently. Now it's just like "POOF, everywhere"..
Also, Since I cannot distribute the ripped model, I'm going to eventually model the whole thing myself so I can legally share with everyone MY OWN suit model, while still keeping it relatively accurate. I feel incredibly guilty being the only one with this >> Mainly because I know how frustrated I would be not being on my end. I spent a long time trying t find something to make this suit and it seems I have the only thing closest to it. In time... In time... I will have this suit complete re-made for you guys. Hang in there.
