Thanks very much! This is my first time making foam armour. Its not too difficult actually, just takes some practise and figuring out what methods work best

I will be 3D modelling and printing a bio mask in the near future. Im also waiting for a latex face cast at the moment

 

[Rha Grioto]

Attached the first few plates to the front of the calves. (6mm EVA foam)

 

[Rha Grioto]

Added some details to the calves. (2mm Craft foam)

Cut out the base shapes for the right gauntlet blades. (PVC Plastic board) Evened out the shaping with a dremel and then smoothed them with a medium grit sanding block, then secured them into the right gauntlet.

Update on the right gauntlet. Still have to attach piping on both sides. Both blades do sit evenly, however in these photos they look a bit askew.

 

[Rha Grioto]

Started piecing together the 'toes' for the Pred shoes. (2mm Craft foam + Skewers)

 

[Rha Grioto]

Putting together the base of the shoe and the toes. Starting with 10mm of lift on the base of the shoes. (10mm EVA foam, 6mm EVA foam, 2mm Craft foam)
