Very nice. Man, I love carving PU foam, I don't get as much opportunity to do it as I'd like, unfortunately. You did a great job.

i have to say, your photos and detailed instructions on how you made this create one of the best looking tutorials i have seen for making casts and molding to get a professional looking piece. Thanks for the great information and PLEASE keep up the amazing work!! :thumbsup

As someone new to the art of prop-making, I found this thread to be incredibly informative.
Over the last week I've watched 30-40 tutorials on mold-making, most of which assume that the viewer has some level of familiarity with either the process or the materials used, often skipping over minor steps and key phrases that beginners NEED to know.
Your description of the process and the accompanying photos were easy to follow, and your reasoning, ie.
...is invaluable to beginners who truly don't understand which materials to use or the reasons to do so.
So, as someone new to the field I'd like to thank you for taking the time and effort to describe your methods, I learned quite a bit.
The end result is amazing, a fantastic piece. I've seen a fair amount of ODST costumes, the backpack is a frequently forgotten element.
Outstanding work.

That is very flatering, thank you very much. I try to put some extra effort into writing detail rich build threads for that very reason. I like to share my techniques and to hear what others have to say. I've learned so much of what I know from the online community, I make it a priority to give back.
@ Volpin: Thanks so much! It helps to have other great costume/prop artists such as yourself to inspire. Thanks you for setting the bar higher and sharing as much as you do. To answer, my vac table is 24" x 36" but well large enough for anything I have had to do so far!
If anyone has any further questions just let me know. I have started a run of these but the thread is buried in the classifieds here.Thanks!
