Re: IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates Thread -Easy to Build "Green" Version

I need the foam!!! Must find foam!!! Stealth, amazing work! I tip my hat to you sir.
 
Re: IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates Thread -Easy to Build "Green" Version

Wow that came out amazing. Can't believe its foam. Did you use any heat shaping? It looks like you used the same thickness as the rest of your build.
yeah all same foam for all my build i use camping mats rather than the jigsaw type eva floor mat its a lot softer and easier to work with i cuts with scissors and you can get the join really neat i can squash the helmet flat and it just pops back up into shape its really amazing stuff and they was £1 each from work and ive completed all upper body just got legs and feet to do and ive use 4 roll so cost me £4 up to now lol bargin

Wish that that foam was available stateside at those prices :unsure I guess I just have to make do with the floor mats.
 
Re: IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates Thread -Easy to Build "Green" Version

it looks like the same foam Graphic Jordan used just not blue. It looks as though it has a texture and everything. As far as the jigsaw foam people buy, I have the same thing but it comes in rolls. If you go to a Dicks type athletic store, Academy, or big chain sports store you may be able to find it there. In these stores they are actually Treadmill matting. they run 19$ and you dont waste any with the jigsaw crap.

These templates are great and the method of foam building is brilliant.I honestly believe this will help a lot of newbies on this forum(myself included:lol)get an easier start to building their first REALLY GOOD suit.Kudos to you sir.Also, how are the War Machine templates going.Just had thought that the use of black and gray foam on the War Machine could altogether do away with the use of paint:love.
 
Re: IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates Thread -Easy to Build "Green" Version

what kind of foam do you use? and where can i buy some??
 
Re: IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates Thread -Easy to Build "Green" Version

These templates are awesome, just made a test helmet, made with 2mm foamies. I don't recommend the 2mm because it doesn't hold it's shape very well. 4mm or 6mm EVA is probably best. I found a place locally that sells the 1/4 inch EVA for $6.00(USD) a meter.(approximately 50 in. X 36 in. = ~15 sq. ft.)

Thanks Stefano!

Holy! Look at that thing. Can't wait till you detail it like demo did up there.

I wasn't too sure about that helmet file I modded.

I thought it would be too complex to get a good result with 1/4 foam. You proved me wrong indeed.
 
Re: IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates Thread -Easy to Build "Green" Version

Actually that's the tester, made in 2mm FunkyFoam(foamies). It doesn't hold it's shape very well. Imma go buy some 4mm and 6mm EVA foam tomorrow and try it with the 4mm. I'll report back.

Joined the Mark VI club tonight. You guys were killing me.
I just rushed it, as I wanna try for halloween and I don't like my Mark III anymore now that I have this better foam.
Thanks to Quovadis0920 for helping me with the planning for this on FB chat :)

I'm sure you'll pull something off. No anti-fatigue mats on this one?

Re: Robo3687's IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates -Easy to Build "Green" Versi

... BTW: i took your instructions and tried my luck on the samuray HD IM helmet. mind checking if it still needs some tweaking?...

I took a look at it, if you don't mind, and saw a few things. But that is good if it's your first time :)
