I`ve been contemplating a foam Cyberman build and last night at work was wondering if I should follow the cuts in the paper pep or not . And presto , there`s my answer ! You are truly an amazing teacher and artist . Thanks !

if you take the time to learn 3d modeling you can extract a mapping of any model into Photoshop. The mapping is exactly what you are doing there in paper. I use "autodesk 3ds max" but for mapping purposes there is plenty that are easier.

Do you get your foam online or pick it up locally?

[jamesbruton]

@megatronxmatt I bought it online. The link is in a discussion thread on my facebook page.

Hello james. I picked up some foam today to give it a try. I picked up 6mm black foam and 13mm grey foam. My question is which thickness did you use for you iron man helmet and suit? Which pepakura file did you use and which web site? I've used the traditional way of fiberglass and resin. I Like your video series and wanted to try a different approach. Looking forward to your next video Thanks james!

[jamesbruton]

@megatronxmatt The foam was 10mm, the link to the Pep files is on my website in the Iron Man foam article.

[megatronxmatt]

Another great vid. Picking up some great tips. Now I just have to pluck up the courage to have a go!!!!!

Nice job. I'm in the process of building a war machine costume myself. I'm doing paper with resin for about 65% of it and the rest with foam. Thanks for sharing your techniques. I picked up some good tidbits from the vid.
