Re: Dracks Ironman MK VI Foam Build (page1 includes info on foam armour building)
Well you'll be glad to hear updates will be up later. Dinner at the inlaws then when I get back I will get the pics of my helmet up. It's taken longer than I though but wanted to make sure it was perfect so I have less to do once it's cast. There are a few parts I can tell will need some sanding or filler but seeing as the master is made from foam I am not that bothered. It would have taken alot longer than 4 days to sculpt or make a glassed helmet. I say 4 days but if I had not been in work I could have done it in 2-3. Next is the boring PVA stage. After researching Xrobots helmet to cast I will be doing my PVA stage a bit different. He painted straight out of the bottle but I am going to water mine down a little to make sure there are no streaks at all. This will also help the PVA to soak in a bit more filling the micro bubbles the Plastizote inherently has.
Till later,
Tom.
