I have a question for a possible Captain American costume for Halloween. How exactly would one go about making the shield? I was thinking of placing a large cardboard or foamcore circle on like...a trashcan lid or something, but it seems kind of flimsy and wouldn't have the nice angle that Cap's shield has.

Veila posted:You could use foam and heat it up to help it hold the form to make the foam more durable add a fabic layer to the back then put a resin coat on it. Much obliged! I'll look into the materials after work.

I feel like I'm always in here asking for advice on Marvel character pieces, but you guys are really the only resource I have online for this kind of thing. I'm interested in creating an Iron Man gauntlet, open to anything mark IV or later, and like pepukura or foam guides that I can use. I'm hoping to be Toni Stark for Dragon Con and I've got everything but the arc reactor (which has a million great guides online) and the gauntlet. Any help you guys could offer would be appreciated!

Anyone have any tips for scaling down pepukura armor? I managed to find a great gauntlet design but it's made for people with much larger hands than mine.

Ok yes so since we've been resurrected I have questions about Eva foam. I have a lot of smaller pieces attached to a larger piece. I'm planning on heat treating/shaping all my foam first before assembly. My question is, plastidip before assembly doing each lil piece, or after to cover the whole assembled piece? I have the paint on plastidip because I live in an apartment complex and am trying to avoid anything aerosol if possible. I'm using contact cement to adhere if that makes any difference.

Deviant posted:After assembly and heat sealing. And the paint on plastidip isn't great imo but try it I guess Thanks! I'm amenable to the spray on if it is necessary. I just don't want to go through the effort of building a spray box or whatever I'd have to do to get it done here unless it's absolutely necessary.
