Re: FOAM speed-building files'n'tricks : Sharkhead IM helmet
It's a chance, because it's also the cheapest I could find.
But in return, since it's provided in rolls, every piece I cut up always wants to spring back to its rolled shape. As a result I have to cut each piece in the way of the width or the heigh of the roll, but never in slantwise or the final armor part is distorded. The same problem for symetrical parts : the same foam piece for both leg for example must be cutted out in the same way, or your legs are not strictly identic.
It leads to an incredible amount of waisted foam.
