hey guys this was my first ever attempt at a foam costume and as you can see it didnt go very well at all lol. but still its because of builds like this that you learn and move on.
since making this one iv learned a few things one patients is the most valuable tool when making these suits. two because i cant get eva foam floor mats and im having to use camping mats they need to be reinforced on the inside three dont try to make a removable faceplate its its not reinforced to keep its shape and 4 foam dulls scissors quickly lol
since taking these pics i have made a much better helmet i hate the one in these pics.
i also didnt scale my templates when making it so as you can see its quite large on me. im not making an iron man suite out of this foam and every piece gets about 4 layers of paper machey on the inside of it it makes them really solid and they hold there shape amazingly well ill be starting a wip of my iron man soon.
also any uk based builders give me a shout out not many of us on here lol
