I think he must have an unending supply of foam! I love the speed at which he makes things. I look forward to his updates. Working with foam like this is one of those projects I would love to tackle one day, but not until I become more motivated to do so.
Looking forward to progress!

thanks. :lol we normally stack up on materials so when we need it its readily available. Actually, I was like surprised also because we were just resting - me on the internet in the room :lol - then he just says "I'll work on something". Me, not minding anything when i'm on the net (addict lol) just gets bothered every once in a while because he looks at references on the computer so he can zoom on it. then TADAAA! Halo helmet. wth? :lol Asks me to take pics then posts it. nyahaha!
Now I started searching for Kat b320. I will not let him do that alone. ha-ha-ha.

:lol rubber is the only material we have easiest, cheapest to work with so basically we try to do everything with it. haha.
Well, he studies the reference pics, the more i get, the more angles i find the better for him to visualize the object. if its simple, it won't take too long. if its a bit complicated - e.g my guyver - it takes him a while to get his desired shape. sometimes he draws patterns on paper, sometimes he draws it directly on rubber, sometimes he cuts the rubber directly. :lol
there are trial & error instances. he's not perfect after all. :angel i guess the advantage of using foam or rubber is that when ur mistake is minimal you can still edit it directly and just cover the edges with bondo. unless its a major flaw then you just throw it away.

"With the blast shield down....how am I supposed to fight?"
<Sorry couldn't resist!>
What do you and Don do for work!!!? Meaning when do you find the time to make all these Wonderful things?
And is the source of the rubber at a discounted rate?

:lol i think i've answered this in a few other threads i had. but nonetheless, i'm a secretary by day, Mon-Sat, working 8 hrs & more from 10am-7pm at the largest mall here in the phils. :rolleyes DR is a freelancer. he mostly stays at home but it doesn't mean he does costumes all the time! he sleeps, eat & waits for me to come home. LOL. joking. :angel
he do character appearances in parties and do part time commission work/projects. we're just average people. :$
time? well, normally after work for me which starts around 12mn since it takes an hour to get home, then will have dinner and reflourish my online social life. nyahahah!:lol for DR...it depends on his mood. if we have an upcoming con, we work double time. :angel
as for the rubber, well, there's a vast resource here. its relatively cheap compared to what i have heard of its price in the US.

:lol Robert actually wants kids. Reason? so he can have his Ironkid. :lol
Sometimes, he jokes of taking his word of having kids because it would mean he would be doing 3 costumes everytime. nyahahaha!
it's okay. i'm glad people here appreciate our work. srsly, there are a lot of talented people here and we feel we are not worthy to be one of them. :eek so we're really thankful for the appreciation and if people get inspired its very heart warming.

Look into that kid thing, NOUTHING I do can compare to the joy my kids bring me. I love costuming, the making of and showing off, but it is pale compared to the Joy of children. Though if you have them, there will be less time for other things, but 20 years from now what will you be more proud of? I can speak from experience, and I hope you both some day decide to add a little Don/Isabel...eather way, great costumes:lol Robert actually wants kids. Reason? so he can have his Ironkid. :lol
