I'm at Walmart looking at the foam they have here but I'm not sure what the thickness is... Im thinking it is rather either 2 or 3 mm. Only lists length and width.
Yeah, I buy my foam at Hobby Lobby. Way more of selection. I would maybe try Michael's also.
I actually purchased the 6mm foam from Michaels but was at Walmart for an unrelated purchase and decided to check out their craft section while I was there. They were $0.30 a sheet so I'll check em out.
I'm not sure if I'll keep the bolts a flat color. I want to try a chrome or nickel finish first to see how the direct source translation looks on a real world build. If it looks too flashy then I'll tone it down. I just want it to accent not overwhelm. But if the chrome looks too meh, Ill hit it with some matte clear coat. That should tone it down and turn it into a metallic silver from what Ive read online.BTW, thanks for the compliment. Can't wait to finish this bad boy. Ill be working on the gauntlets in the next day or so.
That sounds cool. I'd love to see it. I can see how Doing that would make the costume a bit more durable and increase its lifespan as for most of it you wouldn't have to worry about cracking paint over time. I might have tried that but the original concept art I was using as a guide made it look as though everything was bare metal or some kind of solid armor. But now I see it is covered in some kind of fabric.
Here's it before details I'm starting to add rivets and make the gauntlets look better
WOAW AWESOME !
You already look so badass in it !! Keep going, your efforts pay !
