Has anyone tried this before? I wanted to give the shield's rim an organic look, so I experimented with toilet paper and white glue, and it created this cool wrinkled texture. What do you guys think?
That these first, often transparent, kind of flexible layers befor you color your eva, which cost an arm and a leg can be replaced by slightly thinned down craft glue?
Note that I live in switzerland and my glue might be different from your glue somewhere else 😅
I'm currently working on foam bits for a glove and theyre quite small. I'm currently using a method I learned from painting gunpla (sticks with blu-tack on them) but the blu tack doesn't adhere that well to the EVA foam so sometimes some pieces just fall/fly off when they get hit with a burst of spray paint.
Is there a better way to keep pieces in place while painting them?
Hello! I am currently working on a suit for armor for renfaire and im attempting to do a one pauldron setup with a cloak. THE VISION: The cloak will be attached on the underside of said pauldron to the other arm (across the back) and over the other shoulder. (please see attached photo)
QUESTIONS;
How would you recommend i attach the fabric to the foam?
How should i attach the pauldron to the chestplate? I was thinking belts, but if there's anything else that would work please let me know
Is it going to be too much weight? I'm using a light spandex like material for the cloak and maybe some fur for the other shoulder. but i dont know the extent foam can take. the pauldron is 6mm and the chestplate is 10mm (See Second Image)
Any future issues you think i might encounter?
Any Advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to foamsmithing and unsure of the constraints of the medium.
