Cool, cannot wait to see the finished method GJ.
Didn't mean to offend. Although, as said, I do like the look of it so far.
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

I've built numerous helmets the fiberglass bondo rondo way and this is by far better looking in my opinion. Plus... I haven't smooth seams, added the groove details or put on ears... this is getting a thin later of rondo on the inside of faceplate as well. When it's done you'll think it was made from plastic.

This is Hella Sick bra!! Ya got th' tools, ya got th' talent 2!!

Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

Dude this is amazing. It just amazes me how talented everyone is here. I'm actually considering designing a batsuit out of EVA foam.
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

that helmet is amazing GJ! You're really becoming a master of Foam :)
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

Thanks Stealth! Yeah I was actually amazed how accurate I was able to get with the foam.. but it's really dense and sharp/crisp so it makes sense.
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

Jordan whats the process after the build,and after the bondo the seams I mean,I know you paint but what kind of paint and is there a sealer?
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

Same as Don Roberts... an acrylic emulsion.. I believe it's an epoxy based primer used on vehicles. I am not reinventing the wheel. I am going with a tried and true way of making this suit.. the Don Roberts way! lol He's the best foam build in my opinion.
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

may i ask, did you use sharkhead's helm file? Man that helm looks badass.:love
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

I used a custom modified Sharkhead file... Robo helped awhile back. Same I used for last foam helmet.
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

oh i see. By removing minor details the sharkhead helmet file was made to a template? thank you for entertaining my questions sir jordan. :) You gotta teach me how to do that foam tech you're using. :)
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

I had robo remove the grooves and cheek details. Modify the width of his "soul patch" and a few other minor tweaks. I then unfold the pep file creating the largest pieces I can with the fewest cuts needed to achieve the curves. I then print with "page alignments for multiple pages" and line up larger pieces that flowed onto more than one piece and join them with tape. The rest is down hill from there. Really not that hard. Just tedious.
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

i see. thanks for the detailed help. Might as well try this once i'm done with the mk3 im planning to make. Actually i tried it once with my WM shoulders, but didn't quite work out like yours though. Oh btw sir jordan, i once used PVA glue to cover the holes, works fine like acrylic emulsion, but takes longer to dry. Maybe that could help :)
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

Incredible work. I can't wait to see the finished suit!!!!!!!!

This may seem like a stupid question, but what is EVA foam. Does it come on a roll or in sheets? Also i reviewed all the pages on this topic but did not see a link to where you purchaced the foam.
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

How easy is it to work with foam?
Is it weighty? As I really like something with a bit of weight :p

Keep up the great work! Do you have an undersuit yet?
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

EVA foam is basically foam assisted rubber. It comes in many forms.. all of which have basically the same chemical makeup. Craft Foam, Floor Tiles, Yoga Mats, Etc... Minicell... List goes on.
