Gears of war armor

sithlordharley · Apr 28, 2011

this is my first foam build.
A friend of mine and I are working on Gears of War COG armor. I have been playing with the foam all day today and finally came up with shoulder pads i liked, after wasting an entire sheet of foam lol.
Well my first attempt was a fail cuz i didnt like the base design in the end. the second design was a fail cuz i tried to glue the raised pieces on top of the base. The third was a success, i cut the raised pieces out of the base and pushed them up then glued them on the back. From there i sprayed plasti-dip so it will take paint once i get to that step.
I am not going for a specific character here just my own style cog armor. More to come
