EXACTLY. The other bonus (besides obviously having a perfectly fit piece) is that you can set the recess depth to whatever you need, 1mm,2mm, anything up to the thickness of the foam. I think this method looks so much better than just backing a cutout with another piece.. That's an excellent example pic!

Re: FOAM speed building files ►Stormtrooper◄ in progress.
Thanks, and you're welcome.
This thing is a nightmare to build. In the movie it's supposed to be a rushed army upgrade with rough square shapes and quick addons, but out of foam it's a real puzzle game (just like Halo stuff!) : a ton af edges, a ton of corners, for finally a sober and quite sraight design vaguely detailed that seems so simple... But at the end, it's still one of the most frightening suits ! WARMACHINEROX !

Re: FOAM speed building files ►Stormtrooper◄ in progress.
Hi I'm totally new to this forum. After shopping the ****-poor selection of overpriced crappy costumes for my son(who wants to be the iron patriot this year), I've decided my anal retentive ness for accuracy has taken over, and I think I'd like to throw this(costuming) atop my pile of hobbies/addictions lol. After building a pretty good proton pack last year, I realized I have the skills for the execution of the whole thing.
One problem- I own a mac(awesome, but not for pepakura). I refuse to run windows ANYTHING on my machine. I know, I know but it's like putting ketchup on a filet mignon. Is there a reasonable way to get PDFs that I can print without having to run wine, parallels, boot camp or any of that stuff?
Oh please please please help I'm trapped in the body of a perfectionist!

Re: FOAM speed building files ►Stormtrooper◄ in progress.
Welcome,
and good news, there's a way : the perfectionnist you are won't stand building from pdf files when he could take advantage of the dynamic 3D view, sizing abilities and every other features of pdo files and their pepakura software. Building from pdf would be just like eating a picture of a filet mignon. So, ask someone to lend you any used laptop, or buy an old one somewhere on the web. You won't be tearing your hair and your mac will remain safe.

Re: FOAM speed building files ►Stormtrooper◄ in progress.
thats a nice looking WM man.
im planning on building one soon with your files but that back in your pictures looks totally different from the torso file in your WM files.
assuming its free handing basing it on the original files?

Re: FOAM speed building files ►Stormtrooper◄ in progress.
For this build I'm using stagefivedrift's HD model (@405th team).
I plan (a bit later) to replace the WM templates from the first post by two different sets aiming two different builds : a quick and easy set from juice's model (or from a rev of the present robo's model), and a much longer and detailed set using stagefivedrift's model. Just be patient.

Re: FOAM speed building files ►Stormtrooper◄ in progress.
that is sick man, really sharp!
cant wait for those files, i use the same type of foam on my iron man build currently, decathlon tg-100
epsilon adheres really good on it but for warmachine i need something quicker, so probably PVA, only my test pieces still come out all textury (not really a word but hey)
