My Armor Basics

So I figured I should make a basic list of the tools I use and what for...

Big Foam: Foam puzzle mats, the kind individuals use in car shops- I also try to get a variety of thickness.

Little Foam: Craft foam is best for details, it can be found in most craft stores.

Paint: If I paint my armor, I use any basic spray-paint. This is to make sure that I have no paint strokes and the coverage is better.

Mod Podge: This is a big need for paint users. Always have AT LEAST two layers before any paint is applied.

Fabric: I used fabric over my DMG armor, which gave a more cartoon look, I recommend four way stretch fabric for this.

Box Cutter: I use a newly sharp box cutter to cut the foam puzzle mats.

Xacto knife or Scissors: I use these to cut out craft foam.

Heat Gun: I recommend one with a high and low setting, I have burned foam before. DO NOT use a hairdryer- they are never going to be the right heat.

Barge: This is a cement glue- so be careful! I like to basically use this to glue everything because hot glue can peel if an object is too heavy.

Hot glue: Any basic hot glue works, but again, I only use it for small things.
