Close! You have to prime the foam with wood glue BEFORE you apply resin. Polyurethane resin does not bind very well to EVA foam on it's own, but with a layer of wood glue it's fine. The resin is goes from the consistency of 'runny like water' to flu-snot over the course of like 30 seconds, so there are going to be alot of drips after it hardens, so you'll have to sand it smooth. Make sure you do that outside and wear a mask, I don't know if the dust is toxic or not but inhaling it won't do you any favors.
As far as painting goes, I just used pretty basic automotive spraypaint, primed it with a black semi-gloss, then a silver/chrome.
The EVA foam that I used wasn't quite the same as you find in Yoga mats - it's the same material, but the sheets that I found were much thinner, about....3/16 of an inch mostly, I think?

Anyway - here's a rough build log I compiled a while ago, let me know if you have any more questions.

I'll have to rush around to see if I can find some of the stuff here in town. I wasn't sure if I could just go hit an athletics supply shop and grab some mats off the shelf. I could use the thicker ones for the chest pieces - but I definitely need to heat mold the things so they fit to my chest.

Since Kratos's weapons are usually depicted as being on fire and he swings them on chains around his head, has anyone ever seen a poi-spinning Kratos cosplayer? I can't be the only one who's thought of it.

Here's one of Avatar: TLA with fire, which I feel could have ended badly for a less skilled person, what with the loose clothing.

I also feel like I've seen one with Korra or something with blue attachments to emulate water but I can't find it.

Since, supposedly, the internet does not forget, there's got to be some place where the video is rehosted?
I, for the life of me, can't find it, though.

vvv I was kinda looking for that LesBeardly parody

Googling CanineHybrid turns up a lot of WTF, and the original. Clicking the link gives one of the girls some advertising pennies, though, and I don't know how that should make you feel.

Depends. Are the pennies delivered by check or air powered rifle?

For Halloween, my friend and I did sexy Sonic and Dr. Robotnik respectively. We could not find red sneakers for her dog to be Tails.



I lost my mustache Halloween night. :(

Looks like a spandex one-piece with a hole cut in it

I like sexy Robotnik more though; giant colored noses are very much my poo poo.

The cut looks too perfect, I messed with cutting spandex once and it was super bad. This was kinda before YouTube tutorials on everything under the sun.

That seems like the kind of costume where it's very critical that the ends of the cut stay where you cut them. I'm surprised that works with Spandex.
