I'm a huge fan of the Colonial Marine armor in Aliens! I always thought it was some of the coolest scifi armor ever created and now I want to make a set of my own! All of the armor is made out of eva foam so it is extremely light and takes paint really well. The video also includes Free PDF templates if you would like to make one too! Links can be found below for all of the foam, straps, tri glides, buckles, found in the video. Get ready for a Bug Hunt!
Shout out to @garagegeekpropshop for their help in figuring out some of the different armor details!

Absolutely badass! Lean and mean! I took a pause from making your samurai armor and Facebook Memories reminded me it's been a year since the pause. 😅 I hope you do a foam smartgunner armor and headpiece someday!

Wow! A super detailed paint scheme, but you definitely rocked it hard. Love every bit of this armor. Looking forward to see what you do with it next. Take a break and relax, Steve. We'll still be here loving your work. Thank you very much for being our inspiration!

Thanks Rex! The camo was definitely a pain but well worth the effort. I felt that a bad camo paint job could have ruined the overall look of the armor. I never get to take a break but I’ll just dial it back some 😂

Excellent work! The wide straps with the triangular ends look like the originals might have been made from WWII British Pattern 37 cross straps.

Thanks! Terri is overseas and took a lot of inspiration from WWII and Vietnam. All of the soft good and camo were custom made for the movie and luckily James Cameron liked the look.

Nice work right there bro, will you make a tutorial for the leg parts? It would ve very helpful

@858Markus Ай бұрын

I was thinking of using a layer or two of epoxy resin from both sides. This would add rigidity and would protect the seams from the color. But could crack if strained.

The crazy thing is foam almost looks better than plastic reproductions

@SKSProps Ай бұрын

paint makes the prop, and most i've seen just don't have good paint jobs. I've been painting for 30+ years so it's a lot easier for me to mix colors and know how the final result is going to look

@Jewifer333x2 Ай бұрын

@@SKSProps the geometry is mainly what I mean. Its hard for plastic to have the same look of dimension and thickness as this foam.
