Never get discouraged! I had trouble starting out, and made 3 different pairs of Reach style gauntlets before I was satisfied enough. Just keep up the practice.
I would also highly recommend an x-acto knife if you don't use one. Scissors can be a pain and can be tough on more detailed areas.
Yeah, you know that feeling when you feel you should have accomplished something but then you look at it and its not that great thats kinda what I was dealing with...BUT thanks to such a great community on the 405th I am learning the tools to be successful, which I'm very grateful for, however there is one person I would like to give a shout out to...EVAKura you sir are awesome. I love your work and your advice and videos on Youtube have been VERY VERY helpful. With that being said he will be hosting a live web feed this Friday, Feb 28th at 4pm Pacific time (UTC -8hrs). This is an open invitation and will be hosted on his YouTube channel. During this webcast, he will be starting the torso of the Halo 4 Master Chief. Also if you haven't you NEED to check out his thread it is FANTASTIC.
Ok, well enough talk, tonight started out well but when I finished my first pack of foam disaster struck, it appears that the foam I have bought is not 3/8ths and is actually 1/2 Inch, which is WAY harder to work with, plus its messing with my templates
This piece was the last one done on my first batch of foam, it took about 10 mins todo
I know, I know 10 mins for that piece, well after my waste of 2 foam sheets for my mess up of a chest piece I am taking my time.
Now this piece has been nothing but a headache and I'm not blaming it on the piece but the foam...This foam is very hard to work with and this is my second attempt at this piece. I will probably go out looking for some different foam so my headaches will stop.
Also I'm very sorry for the very bad quality pictures, my phones auto focus doesn't work, but I should have my nice camera here soon!
Like always any suggestions are gladly accepted and appreciated,
Thanks for taking a look.
