Hi everyone,
recently i've started working on my own IM mkVI armor. Thanks to Robo and Stealth with his foam pep files, i will do it entirely with eva foam.
Now i've readed and watched every videos/discussion on the web to know how to work with this tipe of material, but there's one thing i can't figure out well: the "seam lines". On the classical pepakura procedure, after glued everything you can seal and sand all the mistakes and imperfection...but how about the foam way?
I know that after the assembling you can seal everything with Plasti-Dip (or pva glue), than use primer and paint. But is this enough? In particulary i'm worried about the helmet, in almost every pep files, they have some "cuts" that makes possible to curve the paper (or foam), but while i can sand the paper, how can i have a smooth results with foam?
(Here's some image to explain what i mean)
Thanks everyone for the help
P.s.: This is not my helmet but just some pics i'm using as references.
