you should just go to walmart or home depot and buy a wagner heat gun. the kind you use to strip paint. it only takes seconds to heat your piece and gives you a whole lot more flexibility when making your suits. $23
@zulkay hi this is rockmanmb,,if ya listening carefully..i bougt the half inch foam mats from wallmart or cnd.tire..cut ya own design..pre heat oven at 360,,put ya finished cut in oven,,for a 15 to 20 secends..anymore than that will burn and smoke..take out..use a fan,,and bend,,once cooled ,,it will stay that form..try it,,
ok so i got the shapes done but i think i might have taken them out too early plus i had to use a grill (which somewhat worked) but do you know how to make it more bulky and add spikey curves to the side im trying to do erza from fairy tails armor
@RockmanMB Great info yet again RM. I would imagine the heat helps bring about a small cure effect and locks the shape as needed. I look forward to working on my torso armor this weekend. Thank you again.
That's excellent info RockmanMB, ty. I am not sure if I missed it, but you must have used something to harden the foam up a bit once you shaped it, or was the heating alone enough to help it keep it's final shape you wanted?
@avatar6699 helllo..well i did not use any hardener..what i did was,,i cut my shape out 1st..2nd..i pre heat in over for a mintute..make sure to use gloves cuz it gets hot..then i used my own leg/thigh to curve the foam..a fan on high will help too..it will cool and the shape will stay.
Where did you say you found these foam mats, and how hard are they before cutting? I have seen many 2ftx2ft mats of this type, but they are all EVA Foam and very, very flexible. Thank you.
@avatar6699 i bought them from wallmart or canadin tire..they come in a pack of 4 sheets..very flexible,,some came in colors but that's ok cuz ya can use a primer to coat them 1st ,,then spray paint...
Love the work and appreciate the tutorial. Is there anyway you can send me a pic or direct me to a page to see a little more detail on the final pics. Wanna see how to make shoulder armor and some other details. Love the costume man. One of the best I've seen.
@warturtle11 i set the oven to 300, get it hot, then put cut out foam in it for at least 1 nintute..or less,once ya see it bending,,take out(use stove gloves),,apply around ya leg..(example)..use fan to cool off faster,,it does work...
@RockManMB Thanks! Hey, is there any way you can show a how to for the inside of the pred helmet? The first vid went by real quick, it's hard to follow the structure.

How did you do to make your foam so hard? Mine is soft as hell so when i try to do a armor it's too soft and it's not very realistic.
