The detail on the internals on the bicep is brilliant. I think I would be too timid to do this, especially if it ever looked as good as yours (or even finished), but this looks very cool and distinct. I think you would stand-out well at a Con from other pampered, fresh through the car wash looking armors.

Mine will definitely look damaged, but not so much from battle...and definitely not hardcore!

Absolutely awesome! Never saw such a realistic damaged on a foam suit! Can you film yourself while "destroying" a next part of your suit? Im so interested how you achieve these nice effects! Thumps up!!! Great work man!

Thanks Stealth! Ya know I keep in my mind what u said at the end of one of your tutorials "Dont take this to seriously, its still foam" such wise words cuz the more I dont take it seriously the more creative I can be n take foam building to another level as you are doing. Thanks man

Re: foam with rondo+ HARDCORE BATTLE DAMAGE!!!

Mannn oh man. This is awesome... great work, and very creative! exactly what I was looking for! Sadly, I wish I had seen this last week...I just PVA'd the entire legs of my Mk iii build. Now I'm kind of stuck, school is about to start up and I'll have no time to rebuild!!

I guess I could test the mod podge on top of the PVA on some scrap pieces, and take the steps from there to see if it would work, but the PVA actually seems to have made the foam more rigid.

EDIT: actually something I noticed when I PVA'd was thet it did create a glittering effect when you look at it at an angle. I wonder if there is something similar chemically going on there. Will be experimenting. Thanks for the ideas Doc!

thanks kurtis and yea dont be afraid to experiment. Try it on a scrap piece then for sure youll know so u wont mess up your pieces
 
Re: foam with rondo+ HARDCORE BATTLE DAMAGE!!! who wants tutorial?

Kurtis, Your in luck actually. I am currently working on my own foam to resin conversion, having PVA on the piece helps it actually. On my test peices the resin would flake off without it, so you should be good to go to do your resin or rondo build.

Re: ironman with rondo, tutorial for painting foam thats flexible and show quality

Step 6. Paint foam. Preferrably a duplicolor paint but if ya cant find your color any paint shoud be fine. The first pic is of it painted only with barely one coat. didnt have enough oops lol but paint your with 2 coats and let dry after and in between.

Step 7. Is the cherry on top. 2 coats of that glaze it will make it scratch resistant and super shiny. I put examples of how flexible it is and returns back to its original form. Wait about a week then wetsand with 2000 for smoothin out any orangepeel if ya have some . Then polish compound, wax n buff n it should be oh so smooth n shiny like a brand new car lol n thats it your done.. pretty easy huh...enjoy :cool

Hey dude! reading the adhesion promoter can says that it is a "clear primer," and that you should apply the "color coat" within 10 minutes of the last adhesion promoter layer.

Did you go in with the Filler Primer within 10 min of the adhesion promoter? Or do you perhaps think that the Filler Primer can be omitted?

According to the can, sounds like I might want to have the Filler Primer and or Paint ready to hit it within 10min... just wanted to get your thoughts on that business. Thanks man!

Yes Doc I would love a tutorial . I'm not going to use it on my mark VII or II but for future reference it will come in handy.
