I work with EVA foam quite a lot so i have lots of progress photos with it on my facebook page. You can check it out here
FAQ:
Can I heat it up with a hairdryer?
My hairdryer doesn't get hot enough to heat it up. You can try it But I don't think it will get hot enough. Like I said, in the video I suggest you use a heatgun but if you cannot afford one then you can use a stove or a bar heater.
Where do i buy my foam sheets?
I order straight from a foam company. try do a google search for a foam manufacturer in your area.
What foam am i using?
Its called craft foam in stores but its actually called EVA or SVA foam. the same stuff they use for Yoga mats and kids floor mats.
What thickness am I using?
I use 6mm for the base and 3mm for the details on it.
How do I do the details?
With more craft foam or Light weight, flexible clay, I use something called iclay.
Will i make a video for the details?
Yes. I just need to find time because i would like to cover everything.
How do i prime the foam?
I use woodglue or cold glue.
How do i paint it?
I use acrylic paint and then oil paint for shading. i have a video for this here :...
