Hi RPF!
Since the weather has been so cold and miserable over the winter I set out to hone my indoor crafting skills, with the use of EVA foam in particular.
So armed with Pepakura and a few .pdo files, some EVA floor mats, a pair of fabric scissors, an xacto knife and some Copydex glue I set about putting together a couple of helmets.
I found this was the perfect exercise over winter as this meant I could work entirely indoors with limited work space and no need for ventilation for toxic substances.
I later used a Dremel, a heat gun, and a soldering iron (ventilation required for this bad buy I'm afraid) for some of the more advanced stuff.
I'd like to think I'm on my way to mastering this foamcrafting malarkey.
Next is the sealing and paint stages.
I'm happy to take any questions or queries.
Regards
Lee
