Craft Foam Armor Tutorial. I was searching for a cheap, light, but nice-looking material to make armor out of, and I discovered one - craft foam!

Craft Foam Armor Tutorial

This tutorial is designed to show what you can create using only materials that are widely available at general craft stores, with no need for specialty shops or internet orders. I specifically used it for Helm's Deep elf armor, but it could be used for almost any armor that you can break down into fairly flat pieces. The method listed below is what I've come up with, but there really is no one right way to use craft foam; check the end of the tutorial for links to other foam armor sites. For an example of a finished project, here's a picture of my elven armor. Advantages: Light weight Inexpensive materials Widely available materials Easy to make Safe to wear in crowds Most steps are safe for kids to do Flexible - won't break or crack Great 'beginner' armor Disadvantages:

Official Malcolm Reynolds Stunt Pistol Replica

It’s the only licensed, studio-approved replica available, and is a faithful re-creation of the iconic sidearm from the movie, Serenity. Quantum Mechanix's mold was taken directly from the stunt pistol carried by Nathan Fillion in his portrayal of Malcolm Reynolds. However, not being satisfied with just reproducing a simple cast of the pistol (the screen-used prop was a solid block of resin), QMx has broken down the pistol into separate steel- and bronze-colored resin parts to ensure perfect color separation and accuracy.

Once cast, the parts are infused with a high-quality metal bronze powder to better simulate weathering. Separate silver components – such as the trigger, trigger guard, hammer and screws – are infused with steel powder and weathered with a black dye wash.

I think I possibly had the best Halloween ever!

Tron: Quorra Costume

It's partly due to the fact that I had so much fun running around as Quorra for two nights in a row. The costume is made from faux leather and EL Film strips. The luminescent panels are removable, velcored onto the leather vest in order to make the top washable. To be frank, the cutting and re-soldering the EL film was quite tricky to work with but I think I managed to the tame the beast with the help of conductive fabric tape. I will write up a tutorial on how to work with the EL film in the next three weeks for those folks who are interested. I happened to run across the Tron advertisement on Sunset so I thought it was a perfect photo op.
