Hi RPF!
I decided a couple of weeks ago that I was going to go as Thor for Halloween (as that is my namesake and the movies have generated the buzz) and my girl wants to go as Sif. I started looking at costumes online and quickly decided that I was not going to wear the production costumes out there...
I then found the Hero Tutorials on Youtube and was amazed by the work Stealth is doing and found Graphic Jordan's Thor armor work. I'm in! I am a pretty artistic guy so hope that I can get my work to look half as good as those two guys!
Anyway, I have been trolling the intartoobs looking for good deals on EVA foam and have had a hard time finding the 1/4 inch stuff that Stealth is suggesting. Until today that is... Has anyone heard of www.foamorder.com? They are a San Fransisco based company that looks like a God send for this hobby. I can get a 40"x80"x1/4" sheet of EVA foam for $24.75 plus S&H. I have an email in to them to get more info on the product, such as how it is shipped (rolled, cut, folded, etc) and the make up of the foam (printed on one side like the faux corogated steel look or what).
I look forward to starting on this project, and hope I have given myself enough time to finish before Halloween! If anyone has a better deal on EVA Foam or anything to clue me in to I'd love to hear from you!
