Re: FOAM speed building files ►Freedom & Landmate Gundams◄ in progress...
oops! read your reply wrong, thought it said "mine are twice that size......" I ordered 6 sheets! lol
@N7: I'm using Plastazote from Thames Valley Supplies here in the UK, you'd need to find a similar supplier in your part of the US, I think someone else on here has done that already, can't remember who tho, sorry

Re: FOAM speed building files ►Iron Man MK1◄ added.
Hey guys, are there any Mark V aka suitcase suit files out there? I apparently found something by Fatman but it's the ENTIRE suit in one file. x.x Confusing. I think it's foam but I just wanted to double check the scale and find a paper helmet since they tend to look better. Let me know by quote or PM please!

Re: FOAM speed building files ►Iron Man MK1◄ added.
Bit of an update I've finished the main sections of paint just some fine detail and small bits to add plus lights and boots but here is a photo of where I'm at with the Iron patriot bare in mind only held together by tape still so still looks a bit squiffy

BSD's Rex PhaseII - foam ufold JFcustom.rar
BSD modeled the HD helmet, the rest of the suit is game model based.
The whole thing only needs white boots, few guns, and a good old weathered paint job to look like the real one

Re: FOAM speed building files ►Iron Man MK1◄ added.
did you need to seal the foam first with PVA?
Oh yeah, been really super helpful with all my questions etc, was gonna do an order from them shortly, just won't be as big as I'd planned, blown my budget a bit on other materials :rolleyes lol
still, got a nice new A3 printer waiting to be installed

Yeah that is the downside the cost its cheaper compared to plastidip and much easier to get hold of but I think ive spent more on paint than building the costume :S although saying that they have sent like 4 or 5 free cans since ive been ordering from them Not sure about the pva thing with plastidip you don't have to coat pva so I should imagine you shouldn't have to with liquid car wraps.

I use 6mm foam with my builds spiderfan but I know some guys use thicker
