Evil Ted Smith on YouTube has a series of videos on how to make your own custom templates. Check out Punished Props, too. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Simply put and as the title asks - what do you think is the best foam Iron Man / Iron Patriot hand file? I'm having real difficulty finding a decent one; I tried one that I found and it broke really easily after 1 wear (yes, the one in my profile pic). Not having much luck here and I really...

Mate, that makes it even more fantastic! Yeah, I think a lot of people would find that useful... if I ever get finished with my current project(s), I'd definitely be up for using this! Hopefully I can get my ass in gear to finish these 2 and get a Mando suit made for Rogue One coming out.

This is awesome! Did you use templates for the armour, or just freehand it?

Re: STEALTH's Iron Man Mark IV/VI Build Hi Stealth, Just a quick one - what hand file did you use for this (and do you have a link)? I've been trying to find a decent one for months and my search hasn't really turned out a lot, other than a plain paper pep file & a free-hand "quick & easy"...

There's a page on facebook called Cosplay Foam - if you go to the photos, there's an album called Free Pepakura and there's a Gemini template in there. I'd link to it, but I can't get on fb here in work

Yeah, me neither wasn't sure if it'd be simpler to amend a printed template of something similar, than trying to freehand from scratch. Good luck!

Haven't seen one, but if one isn't available, your easiest option could possibly be to modify a Space Marine file? Sent from my KFTT using Tapatalk

The Smooth On 65D is sandable, so I don't know that you'd need to bondo over it - bondo is probably more easily sandable and would therefore be likely to give a better finish - I'm not 100% happy with the helmets I've made and coated in 65D, but mainly as I'm impatient & in 2 out of 3 cases...

I've seen magnets, zips, poppers (clasps?) & velcro used before. I'm leaning towards velcro, or magnets for my next project which will need something.

Re: Ikras' 2015 Halloween Costume Contest Entry: Iron Man MK 4 build GOOD LUCK! I've got one more question for you - what hand files did you use? The "Iron Man/War Machine EASY hand files" (http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=150409) I used for my casual Iron Man 3 Tony Stark for...

Something wide, like the plastic or metal trays you get take out food in would probably be good for mixing a small amount in. That way, it stays shallow, but there's still a decent amount to work with. Don't try and do a whole helmet at once. Do it in sections & if you leave each section about...

Re: The PEPAKURA question thread - READ FIRST POST before posting! Did you ever get anywhere with this? I've just picked up some Jesmonite and was wondering about using it with relatively thin foam (I'm too lazy for card stock). Would it still retain strength with the matting inside and...
