Hi I'm new round here but I love the stuff that loads of you have created,
my query is I am thinking about a first time costume build using either the foam-plasti-dip or card-resin-fibreglass-bodyfiller techniques and was wondering which was best?
As the saying goes if I have to pick two of 'Cheap, Quick and Good' I'll be picking Cheap and Good, I have a couple of months to kill so Quick isn't an issue but being a 'just finished' student Cheap is a fairly important point.
I was gravitating towards the foam but am uncertain over how well the foam and the paint will cope. Card presents the alternative, I am wary of these fancy trashcan-esque plastic forming techniques I have seen posted, they look amazing but seem even trickier and have less useful threads since they're less common.
Thoughts?
