In this tutorial I show you how to make a Bionic Arm or Mechanical Arm, Robot Arm, etc. Unlike the previous version of this build, this one is not made of metal, but is made EVA foam. It can also be made from lots of other materials as well.

Dude, I never heard of you, Glad I found your page. I was looking for foam for cosplay, I think more people do cosplay than actually make metal armor. Might be a good niche for you.

I've watched a ton of videos on making armor out of foam, you've done some stuff I haven't ever seen before that makes so much sense. I love it.

One thing: make sure when you heat EVA foam that your room is well ventilated. Heated foam can give off bad fumes. (Spray painting gives off bad fumes, too.)

I have no idea how I missed this over a year ago. I had been wanting to make this exact arm but despite buying the sheet metal and a few tools, I couldn't get everything needed together before I ended up finding out it would be banned at 80% of the conventions I go to. So I just gave up. So glad you made this.

So I decided I was going to do the bionic arm for my first medal project while working on it, my son decided he needed a winter soldier arm too. Lol. The snaps are so much easier of an idea. I was going to just try and mount it to the cloth, like the metal arm. Just glue instead of rivets. Also. Thanks for the new addiction. Working with metal is so relaxing. Makes you slow down and dishing a shoulder can help relieve a lot of stress. Lol

You are correct as you say in the first part of your video most of us don't have the skills or the know how to work with metal, granted you are awesome but, back to my point since we're not that Savvy when it comes to metal work the foam video is excellent and it's something we can definitely do so please by all means do more cosplay foam armor. As always love your videos and I hope you do many more foam armor videos in the future.

@Crixe 6 жыл бұрын

The paint job really sells it and the use of not seaming it but instead forming it like you would metal gives it a much better look then conventional foam smithing. You can get wood burning tools at most craft stores. Not really sure if they run cooler then a normal iron but they give you a good choice of tip shapes for burning and working the foam details. Barge can be found at Leatherworking stores.
