Another foam Predator WIP

[MisterBob]

Sort of a rushed and jumbled thread but I had a few spare moments to throw in pics of my build for DragonCon.

The bodysuit is the typical Mr. Incredible suit, using 1" foam that's been sanded down to approximate some muscle shapes. Also, I took out the uniboob and cut out some more appropriate pectoral shapes.

After several coats of latex...but we noticed the sharpie ink bled through all of the layers as did some red from somewhere.

Later, we got the suit up on a makeshift stand and my fiancee Adnarim got her second airbrush painting experience.


Raw mask and feet are from Termokk. We repaired what we could but not enough time to get all holes filled. Adnarim's paint job still turned out awesome.

And the raw hands from Monsterroom...also painted by Adnarim of course:
.

I'm still rushing to get the armor finished in time for DCon, will try and get some of those pics up soon.

Trying to find more pictures...here's my cannon. I shortened the one from the AvP video game. The core of it is pink insulation foam with random bits of cardboard, styrene and a few 3D printed parts of my own design.

One of the wrist blades and the two shins plastidipped:

They make their armor and weapons out of foam due to their light weight.

There is a two part foam mixture that you can pour into the mold. Reynolds has a product that has a variety of expansions levels.

i use to use black gun foam that's a 2 part mix it's alright but smooth cast 300 is better and alot stronger

One evening left to finish everything before DragonCon so I don't have much in pictures to show for it. Everything's been weathered (perhaps too heavily) but still some straps/belts to attach, bio magnets to add, and reapply all the dreads that fell off last night.

^ I know that, I just wondered how they do that with foam, cutting the pieces uhh... so many other things which I won't go into detail too much.

Foam armor is really easy..just cut out the patterns heat them up and bend them to shape. Then all you have to do is glue. I'm making my armor out of foam for my costume

Jumping forward to a "finished" shot of our armor at DragonCon. Mostly pleased but even with the adhesion promoter and a sealer, the paint wore off all over the place.
