Hi! Your foam armor looks wonderful so far. If you don't mind me asking, I was wondering what you are going to do from here. I'm also planning to make Bunny's hero suit and since I am new to armor in general, I am just researching, researching, and researching right now. Anyway, I was planning on making the chest armor out of the same type of foam that you did, but I have been stumped on what to do about the neck area. I see that you attached a separate neck/collar piece. Are you going to cover the foam with anything, or are you just planning to seal it and paint it? I've been trying to figure out how I could cover the seam at the neck. I guess I could do something like paper mache the whole piece and cover it with paperclay or something, but I wondered if there was a more efficient method. I wanted to ask you and see if you have worked that part out yet because I really don't know what to do! I thought about vacuum forming plastic over it, but if I used the foam as a mold, wouldn't the hot plastic melt the foam? D: But that seems like the only way to get plastic to take on that curved shape. Gah. Sorry, I hope you don't mind me asking! I've been trying to figure this out for a while and it's driving me crazy, haha.
...But hi everyone! I stumbled upon this place while searching the web for references. Can't wait to see more of everyone's progress! This is getting me so pumped to get started.
