Foam SPI *Reforged*

[Punk odst]

It's pretty easy! You can do it, and I doubt any pointers can be taken from, it's a basic build.

That chest price looks amazing dude! You are amazing I hope I’m as good as you when I grow up (I’m 22 but still very not an adult)

And got the spine cover done.

No, no ExCeLLuR8 is amazing, check his build out

Next is the the second row on the chest, then the straps

[Zackurai]

Yeah! New phone came in, now I can circle and edit what I'm talking about in my pics! More progress today will be uploaded after I get off today

 

[Zackurai]

Was pretty busy Wednesday, but here is the progress on the chest, probably tackle the straps today and then figure out a hinge system so they can move up and down when I move my arms. Should be pretty cool, at least in my head it will be.

Damn fine foam-smithing going on. Lines are very precise.

Yep, just going to screenshot this, don't mind me.

 

[Zackurai]

Alright got a strap done and taped it on to get an outline so I can make the straps and probably use chicago screws to make it hinge up and down and maybe micro fiber cloth glued on the bottom of the strap, just to have less friction of foam on foam "grinding" going to regret using that term, anyway here is what the strap looks like, just using scissors to cut my bevel and dremel to smooth it to a perfect bevel.

 

[Zackurai]

Aight second strap was done yesturday, so here it is, probably either do the shoulders or the ab plate next while deciding how to attach and make my straps actually functional.

 

[Zackurai]

Working on my faux strap things, getting a better width and using worbla as a washer/brace type thing under the foam straps

 

[Zackurai]

Alright so here is what I got, made the 4 straps and guess I'll call it buckles, and using chicago screws to fasten to make it move up and down.

And drew up a buckle template and made four and punched a hole through them all and I'll show a chicago screw

 

[Zackurai]

And here is one buckle kinda screwed on

 

[Zackurai]

Alright got my straps and buckles glued up and screwed to the chest so I can mimic the cool strap motion of the SPI armor, check it out, took like 19 minutes to figure out how to do it!

Pretty cool right?
