So I decided to tackle a foam build and, since I'm a total Spider-Man fan, I decided to another Spidey costume: Armored Spider-Man from The Ends Of the Earth comics. It's his Anti-Sinister Six Armor. I've seen elsewhere that it's called Spider Armor MKIII... I'll just call it was it is: Awesome.
Here's some of my source material:
Update: I am mainly using the reference pics in post #18 for the suit building.
and here's my drawing, with a few changes that I'll be implementing (like adding big old bladed Spider legs like from the Iron Spider armor):
Update: better drawings have been created and posted throughout this thread. Also, spider-legs have been put off for now...
I've seen a few people start but never get very far in building this, so I thought I'd try my hand at it.
But a for a few final touches, I just finished the helmet last night
It's my first foam build and I'm learning as I go, but here's my progress so far:
Started out with some of my daughter's old alphabet mat:
I made all my patterns from scratch, sortof building paper over a styrofoam mannequin head til I had the desired shape, then cut it away and cut the pieces flat---voila! patterns:
Cut out all the pieces from foam and Slapped those together with some hot glue
Then I coated it in layer after layer of a mixture of PVA Glue/Water and Black Puffy Paint. I did this for a few layers, then sanded, then more layers, then sanding, then again and again until my coating went from the translucent gray pictured below to a deep black covering the whole thing.
Then I hit the whole thing with a few coats of VHT Chrome Plate High Temp Spray Paint (epoxy based)
Then for the beauty coat to bring it all together: DupliColor Red MetalCast, enamel based (It's for giving metal a red anodized look)
Then I made the eyes. I used a DVD case for the frames. Drew my design for the eyes on some paper, backed it with packing tape, cut out the stencil and traced it onto the DVD case and cut it away. Then I used some thin plastic from a toy's packaging for the lenses and the same white perforated cross-stitch plastic I used for the eyes on my other Spider-Man Costume... And... VOILA! Ends of The Earth Anti-Sinister Six Armor Helmet:
It's not perfect, but I dig it.
Note also, that I'm appropriately rocking a Kingpin shirt to don the new bucket.
I'll post more of the armor as I finish it. Next up is the shoulders and chest.
