It has image tags for forums bu the side of your uploaded photo or you can just copy the image address and insert it in the image tags ie:-

I like the rounded edges on the foam, the eagle, how did you rounded them? Sanding?

Hey..I've seen this before...on the Judge Minty Fan page on FB perhaps?...nice work anyway sir. Did you make the helmet too or is it from Planet Replica?
 
Catfoodrob's Eagle Shoulder is pretty good IMHO. That's the exact thing I want to do, but mine is.... a little too small, and looks like crap. So i'm starting over.
 
Rob com, yes I'm a judge miny member . My helmet is a termight replicas one, reprinted by me.
To make the eagle chest , I cut three egg shapes , each smaller than the previous one, and glued them on top of one another, then it used coarse sandpaper to sand the curves. Sanding foam gives bad edges, but as the egg is covered by feathers , no problem .
For the edges of the eagle, I sanded the foam with less coarse sandpaper, and didn't press on too hard . Pva glue was then painted on , to help seal the surface, before a final light sanding.
The thing about foam is that it's cheap ( I used camping mats ) and you can have several attempts at each piece until you get it right. Because we are doing Comic armour, there is no real "right " or. "Wrong" . Hope this helps.
 
About your aerosol paints, did you use primer and how many coatings we there???? ... how long before it cured or harden???
I had mine painted 2 weeks ago... its dry but still soft.. if you touch it your finger print becomes imprinted..need to re paint again.. :cry
