Hello All,
This is my first foray into the world of cosplay, and EVA foam crafting, so I thought I'd document my progress and ask my questions here. I've chosen to start with a Red Hood cosplay. I purchased the jacket, under shirt, and pants from a thrift store; will get the belt and holsters from Amazon; but will be crafting the helmet and body armor myself from foam floor mats.
I've got the helmet at about 85% now:
Paper Template
In Foam:
Mod Podge, Then Plasti-Dip:
Then Krylon Fusion paint for plastics:
Then Valspar flat red spray paint and flat clear coat:
Now I just need to add the eye lenses and the black accent lines on the helmet, and it will be done, and I can move on to the even scarier to make - body armor!
