Printing the pattern on to adhesive paper is also an option. When the foam shapes are cut soak them in warm soapy water and the adhesive paper will just peel right off.

So the Warlock Iron Companion Hood is all done. Made from 6mm thick EVA foam and some 2mm foam. Faux leather, silver buttons and leather straps to complete the look. Video on youtube. https://youtu.be/PiWdFLE2bUQ Why not check it out? :) Thank you.

Try mixing acrylic paints with liquid latex. I use amonia to thin it to a suitable consistency to spray with. Just a little amount of latex.. 1 part latex to 10 parts paint. Just enough to add some flex to the paint. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Hi WilsonUndead The best way to construct most foam templates is to use the Pepakura Viewer programme and work alongside your computer, high light the various pieces and then rotating the 3d model to see how each piece connects. Hope that helps. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Good to hear you're looking to get motivated, be sure to share your results. [emoji1] I managed to tidy up the seams, add some details and throw some paint on this helm. Check out the results. Next up will be the Warlock Iron Companion Hood. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Hi All I thought I'd share a timelapse video of how I put together a Hunter helmet from Destiny using a template designed for EVA foam. Some of the things I like to do, which are different than what I've seen previously are as follows; Print my template onto adhesive paper, cut the shapes out...

Looking good! Time is ticking! Which Game store managed to rope you into this little project?

Yeah PR_props, I've been following your Destiny build on Instagram. Those weapons are looking sweet! Can't wait to see what you do for the helm. :-)

Yep. These helmets were made using the templates I have for sale on Etsy. All templates have been fully trialled before uploading so you know that they work. Lots of people have had some fantastic results with them.

I can't believe no one has commented and told you how awesome this looks mate. GREAT JOB! This is gonna look fantastic when it's painted. :)

Hi RPF! Since the weather has been so cold and miserable over the winter I set out to hone my indoor crafting skills, with the use of EVA foam in particular. So armed with Pepakura and a few .pdo files, some EVA floor mats, a pair of fabric scissors, an xacto knife and some Copydex glue I set...

Hi. I'm surprised more people haven't tried to cut their foam templates using a laser cutting. Tell me, how fast is the process? I understand it all depends on the complexity of the template but maybe you could give us an idea of how long it takes to cut about 10 x A4 templates for say a chest...

From what I have read Barge is classed as toxic and recommends using a respirator and should be used in a well ventilated room. You could probably get away with using it sparingly without issue but if you plan on using it for long periods of time in an enclosed space then probably best to follow...

None whatsoever. I do find that I have to roughen the surface from textured EVA foam mats, or any foam with a less pourus surface for that matter. This is to get a good surface for the glue to adhere to. This can be done by either sanding, dremeling or simply removing with a Stanley knife. For...

I can definately recommend something that I use. ..it's Copydex. It's non toxic (ideal for working indoors for all you bedroom builders), strong, dries in reasonable time and should be easily available in most countries...
