Doc's foam/fiberglass work + Mark 42 painted pieces

Re: Doc's foam work

lol I dont mind dude, looks purty reminds me of thanksgiving for some reason :lol ok all joking aside it does look very clean dude, glad it worked out now time to test paint:)

Thanks Doc! I will still need to cover it with either LET or something similar to fill up the small gaps between some of the joints.

1: no but if nothing works just give it a try on some scrap foam
2: well besides mod podge is there any kind of acrylic sealer at a local art store or online that you can get access to? like of you cant get mod podge Im pretty sure other acrylic sealers will also work but cant be curtin. This stuff is always trial and error
 
Re: Doc's foam work

Can't wait to rondo my suit... Do you think I can rondo straight over my painted suit, maybe give it a little sand or should I take as much paint off as I can? Thanks love ur method and results u have got
 
Re: Doc's foam work and now styrene

New fingers! Going to start incorporating styrene into my builds for more accuracy but not lose comfort and articulation. Theses turned out pretty sweet:D

Wow, that looks awesome! I actually was going to do the same thing with a helmet i was starting on.

Do you think that you will be sealing and painting the styrene the same as the foam?

That is very cool... I had a similar idea on pepakura but the intent was to give you better grip with your fingers by using a layer of foam or rubber on the underside of the fingertips. Looks very cool.

Real proud of these babies:D

this has totally made my day.. I actually think (sorry guys) these are (sorry guys!) the BEST (SORRY) IM gloves I've ever seen. did you use styrene for the whole glove or just the tops of the fingers?
 
Re: Doc's foam work and now Styrene

HOLY CRAP MAN!!!

You just keep setting the bar! Just when i thought i was getting close to yours, you step it up like that. Outstanding work, those even look better then the printed ones zabana has, in my opinion.
