So.... I did have a question about how you sealed your helmet. There was a ton of gaps and angles that disappeared after you assembled it....and according to your facebook it looks like you did it in a day and a half with paint, details and all. I have been using the grey stuff as well and have yet to have it come out like yours.

It turned out great so please share your process.

most people are using between 6-10mm, for helmets usually 6mm tho some people use 3mm craft foam too

 

[laellee]

Yup, I use 6mm foam predominantly, although some people prefer 8 and 10mm for more wall strength. I detail in 2-3mm craft foam.

 

[LordMephisto777]

Awesome. Thanks for the responses.

Coming next :

You still have a short while to stockpile some foam

Has the Spartan helmet file been taken down? Was hoping to make one for my brother's party.

i used this one from sports authority. cuts easy and glues well. its about 6mm. http://www.sportsauthority.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11307698&clickid=body_rv_img#you-may-like

I made this using one of your builds (which are awesome) but the helmet did not come together quite right. I sort of added bits and pieces, but it still doesn't look quite right

i went out and bought a printer pseically for these foam files. i'd tried pep and didnt relaly like it, at all.

but this is such fun.

i made this in two evening (just as a test, definitely didnt use any finesse)

But i'm so looking forward to my next foam item.

thanks (and additional thanks to ep82)
