Foam Protogen Armor [#8]

How to make a protogen using foam, fur and glue. This is part 8 of our adventure of creating a protogen from scratch. In this episode I tackle making the armor out of foam and hooking it all up.

[Nestomac]

I forgot about this series lol, but glad to see it all finally coming together

[elonmusk]

I love staying updated with this series! You’ve inspired me to build my own protogen suit, and I thank you so much for making such informative showcases!

[JustGeorgiaxD]

You have taught me so much with both of your suit builds!
I’m currently making a mandalorian cosplay but I’m a bit obsessed with doing it ‘right’ 😅 you’re helping me learn that it’s okay to mess up, just try again, and it’ll turn out good in the end!

[alexthemagic.]

and it even released on my birthday!!!!

[tvrijkom]

Because of you I'm making my own helmet!

[KawaiiXgamers]

I want to try to make one thanks to you your fursuits are amazing i love your video im just watching at the moments but ill waych its all again to do it ❤😊 i won't do a fullsuit though i will just do head paws tail and maybe feet. but i dont have a 3D printer for the head anything recommended

If the armor ends up popping apart, try DAP Weldwood Contact cement. Its what cosplayers use for EVA foam armor

[jamesbuchanan]

I think that you are very talented and a amazing builder keep on building

[Chenchomiol]

Can’t wait to see the finish product 😅

[Cinder]

speedrun for glue to dry really caught me off guard XD

[Ilmari_Hirvonen]

I’ll definitely be using this series as reference if (when) I build my first suit!

[trinitytheprotogen]

I love this series, great transition on the cutting bit btw!

[Maxis_Mi]

It was a big surprise to see this in my sub box
I'm so glad you're continuing it!

[IorekByrnison]

Great info. Thanks for the lesson. Keep up the great job.

Hey I know I'm late but hope you see this!

Invest in a Hest gun
Foam is very maleable and porus

By heating it up you can mold it to be more curved, make sure to keep the shape 3 or 4 mins while it cools down

Also it'll get rid of the porous texture of the foam and give you a more uniform finish!

[DPrintedEngineer]

Is it possible to fill in the gap between the edges of the screen and the visor, so you can't see the inner reflection of the LEDs?

[DiogoT-lb]

The Odin wolf and Nido Flow channels were deleted ! 😭 We need to do something ! 😭 I swear to god ! 😭

[Coolness]

One question, when you ordered the visor, what would it look like if you got a clear visor?

[steinfliege]

Great job but why didnt you look up some cosplay tutorials beforehand? You could have skipped the foam experimentation and should just use contact cement as glue...
