So i first saw foamsmithing by accident, and thought hey why not give it a try so i found a halo 4 helmet i liked, got the foam files for it then proceeded to cut out the jigs trace them on the foam then cut out the foam to where i realized the sharper the blade the better, then spent the better portion of 3 days cutting them out then i hot glued it together realizing again i should have payed more attention when cutting, and had to fudge my way through some things like the back of my helmet my least favorite
part on my helmet, and the top seams as well. once i did all that i sealed it with my trusty heat gun then put on a coat of grey primer i had, then 2 coats of true blue ( might add some white strips yet i don't quite know) then a silver acrylic paint for scratches, then cut some bullet marks in, then put a little black around the marks to make them look nice. also made a visor quite poorly i might, add using my heat gun and 1/16 plexi glass but haven't mounted it yet. and my photos tell the visible tale of this lovely adventure, now i have to by more foam ( next time i'm getting black foam ) for the rest. As i used what i had left to make a chest plate i'll post later as i'm not done it yet.
