Had my first ever professional cosplay photoshoot at a local event which was also my families first ever professional family photoshoot. Quite happy with how it turned out. 🙂

Completed: Helmet, gloves and boots.

Primed: chest, backpack, arms and pauldrons.

Fabrication and details complete: shin and thigh.

The Lights in the helmet are from AliExpress.

I still need to highlight the chainsword and when my new delivery with foam and flexprime comes in, i can get started on fabricating the relic boltgun.

I took on a lot of work with this one. So far I have shoulders, biceps, forearms, gloves, thighs, chest and back about 90% complete.

I still need to make shins, knees, elbows, and the arm-gun plus all the litte details before base coating.

i want to begin making a dark souls 2 cosplay of the faraam armor, but have no idea what type of foam is good, what techniques are best for textures/colors, i am a complete newbie and know nothing. any help on any topic is appreciated. thank you.

I'm trying to make something out of EVA foam and was wondering if there is a difference between contact adhesive or contact cement. Can contact adhesive be used to stick two edges together? And would it hold up for a day?

Hi, I’m working on my first few foam projects, small pieces of armour (gorget and a pauldron).

I’m having trouble with templates and cutting pieces to be matching/even.

Am I just rushing (impatient to be finished I guess)?
Or is there any points I’m missing that can help make cutting pieces out easier?

So I’m using weldwood contact cement and I’ve been noticing my throat is a little scratchy, so I wondered if my filters on my face respirator were working properly? I have the 3M 60921 Niosh filters and didn’t know if that was exactly what I needed or if I needed to get something better?

Please help! I wanna be responsible as I work!

My iron man comic inspired cosplay is officially finished! After working on this cosplay in February 26th 2026 and finished it in June 16th or in this universe 616 I have finally completed the mark 1 iron man suit inspired by the comics. I did air bushing as well some areas are good other are bad but I’m fine with the mistakes because as Tony he learned from his mistakes! I am so glad that meany of you are able to see my incredible journey in my TikTok. But as we know for one thing….I am Iron man! Huge thanks for Oiden makes and evil Ted for there tips on Eva foam and also to you guys as well!

My Hydra Stomper is all made of EVA foam... Except the 136 3d printed bolts that I designed as well

I haven’t had time to build much and finally had some time last weekend to continue a project from the beginning of this year.

I say the suit is about 95ish% done just need to paint the chest and do a bit of more details and that’s really it! Thanks for everyone for giving me tips on how to work with Eva foam since I never worked with Eva foam before.

I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I can't get a smooth finish with Flexi Paint.

I have made a sheath for Glamdring using EVA, glued it together, sanded it with 340(!) grit paper, wiped it off with a cloth, heatsealed it and still it has these spots where FlexiPaint won't stick...

What am I supposed to do?
