Foam Mark V(B) Operator Build (First wearable prop) 2

[blafftat]

All my foam came in and I've been buy cutting away at it. I also printed all of my other templates!

 

[blafftat]

The helmet is almost fully constructed and my caulk came in today to fill seams. I also went ahead and made the glove armor. It all still needs plenty of touch ups, sanding, and cleaning up

 

[blafftat]

Sealing the helmet with caulk has been really easy! I’ve been getting in between every crack and crevice and sanded before hand to get a good work surface. After this, I’ll coat it with sealant and start on forearms!

Boot
i have decided to work from the bottom up whole making my suit and saving the chest for last. This weekend, i finished cutting and sealing a boot and a shin armor. I’ll have them sprayed tommorow.

This weekend I also got a lot of shin guard stuff down. It’s all put together and the edges are sanded but I haven’t had the time to seal all of it yet. I’ll probably do that tommorow. Next up is the thigh armor

It's looking really nice so far. I'm always impressed with the details people can get with foam.

 

[blafftat]

The boot is basically done and ready for painting, the shin and forearm are halfway sealed and not sprayed yet, and I’ve attached a buckle to the forearm for easy removal. All is well at the moment.

 

[blafftat]

Ive
- fully caulked forearm 1 and shin 1
- padded helmet and forearm 1
- constructed boot 2
- cut out shin 2
Now I will construct shin 2, spray shin 1 and forearm, and cut out the waist. My gloves came in today and I’ll work on attaching them tomorrow. I can’t start on the thighs until next Monday because I don’t have a large printer at my house avalible to print large templates.

I was gone almost all thanksgiving break and I haven’t had much to to get some stuff done, but here’s what I’ve gotten completed so far:
Everything is going pretty smooth right now

 

[blafftat]

I just completely forgot about these posts on here and I just kept on working on my armor so expect some posts about each armor piece a bit after this! Sorry yall!

Biceps: Both of the biceps have been cut out and cut out on foam. The left one is almost done being constructed and it is surprisingly hard to make. I should be done with it in a few days if I don’t procrastinate

 

[blafftat]

Both shin guards are fully sealed in rubber and are ready for painting. One of them is fitted and I can wear it while the other one isn’t.

 

[blafftat]

Boots. One boot is fully completed and ready for painting while the other is missing a piece on the front and I haven’t gotten to finish it yet. I’ll probably finish it up when I’m don’t with the biceps.

 

[blafftat]

Waist. The waist is constructed but it’s not sealed at all. I did implement a buckle so it can be undone and put on like a belt but other than that, this doesn’t really have much done to it

Looking good so far!

Left Shoulder armor. It’s all fitted and constructed! The right one is being made right now and I can’t wait until it’s done.

 

[blafftat]

Just a lil update on how nice this arm is looking!

 

[Cappyace86]

If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times: foam work is dark magic. Those arms look awesome dude.

Thanks! I work very hard on my armor and the one rule I go by is to NOT CUT CORNERS. In the end I’ll be thankful by following that

Right bicep is constructed! It’ll take a lot of cutting and a few touch ups before I seal them.
