Thanks Faeelin.

Hey, what can I use besides flexbond? I can't seem to find it at craft stores near me.
Hi,
So to create the recess grille in the second layer of template #1, what exactly did you do?
It looks really nice for a first try Faeelin - my only suggestion: make the arrows a bit smaller.
For the glue mix... make sure it's not too "thick" - because you don't want to lose too many details. For the paint, Krylon is a very good choice, that's exactly what I use as well.
A lot of crafts stores will sell jewelry like things that are worth perusing; you can get a watch thing for about $10.
Here's what mine looks like with the vault costume I made. Not too shabby, and I want to thank you, Fullmetal, for uploading this.
One thing to add. Kryllon makes a metallic spray paint that actually seems to work pretty well on craft foam without bonding. I tried it for the bracer and it works pretty well.
I began working on my foam pipboy yesterday, I've got the the whole thing craved out but now I'm toying with all the ideas of details to put into it. Does anyone have any idea where some people get the meters for the top left area? Sam, when would you recommend installing the wires for the LEDs, prior to sealing or afterward (I figured this would make the sealant crack). Thanks so much for the templates they were awesome!!
It's nice to see people taking this project on
As for when to install the wires/LED/electronics - I'd say before sealing and then painting. On every project I've worked, those 2 steps were always the last one. In some case, it's better to remove the electronics while you're painting the parts - but at least you know where they are going.
However, I wouldn't worry too much on the sealant even if you want to do it after sealing or painting. Depending on what you're using, the sealing should be able to take it - but then, I find it "safer" to do it before.
Faeelin - can't wait to see how yours turned out, I'll have to wait when I get home tonight (office websense blocks images)
