Hello Everyone,
I was recently thinking about making my set of Halo 3 Mickey armor and about how much time i have on my hands. I don't have very much time on my hands and I'm not very good at Pepakura, and then I remembered this video from Kre8 Fx were they make an elite costume
.
I saw within the video they make the armor for the elite out of interlocking foam floor mats http://www.buy.com/prod/24-sq-ft-fo...q/listingid/50406518/loc/66357/211951900.html. All they used to make the armor was a dremel and a utility knife. Recently i have had a lot of time working with foam on separate projects. I never really thought about using it for my armor, and I was just wondering if is is a good idea. Another question is if you could harden it, or would it melt with the reaction to the resin, and what spray paint would you use to paint it.

I have a picture of what i want my armor to look like.
The armor in the picture i drew is a mix of Odst, Marine, and Mickey armor. It has a lot of curves to it and when i think about it foam might be the easiest way for my to go. Please reply if you can help me with my questions.
Thanks,
