This is such a bad ass build, brings back childhood memories. Awesome work!! especially for a foamy. Can't wait to see it all together.
 
I can't believe you did all that with foam! If it were shiny I would think this is right out of the movie. For future reference, I know everyone on here talks about resin or Plasti-dip for these foam builds. Those cost a lot of money. For those of us that do not have the resources: use Elmer's glue. You can thin it with water and paint it right onto the foam. When it dries it can be painted and it is still flexible with the foam so no cracking. You will get the same result as the plasti-dip but lighter weight. Just thought I would share.
Thank you for taking us through your build. I love posts like yours. It inspires all of us on this forum. :)

Do you have ratio of glue to water you can recommend for this?

Mod Podge will do this without thinning - it's a glue and sealer that dries clear and is nice and liquidy (sort of like 2-3 parts glue to 1 part water or so; not so thin it disappears, but not quite as thick as white glue alone)

I have thought about trying Mod Podge but my issue with it is that it is expensive if you have to do 4-5 coats for anything. You can get a gallon of Elmer's at Dick Blick for $13 which would be the price of two tiny bottles of Mod Podge.
