[reaperoperative117]

wondering where to find a good place to get foamboard, need thicker chunks to carve from. went to lowes but it was too thin and i would have to glue too many together to get the thickness to carve armor from

It's a question about building armor, it doesn't have to be from Halo, there have been plenty of other armor topics such as Metroid, Gears of War, and Starwars.

For finding thick foam, i'd try crafts2000, I've found THICK chunks of foam there for about 20$ along with a whole bunch of other things that can be pretty helpful!

I get all of my foamboard at Hobby Lobby.
it's like $2.50 or something for a big sheet.

Home Depot and Lowes carries foam board. Its a little costly but you get a 6ft by 4ft piece for like 15 bucks.

alternatively, yUo could look for some building insulation. dunno what type it is, but there are definitely some available from stores like B & Q. These are available over 100mm thick. they could be quite expensive though..

i got my foam board from ebay, i use the 5mm chunks as you can cut through the card on top and then carve out the inner foam, thats how i made my assault rifle pictured below, you can see the detail in the top.
