For foam though, the thickness of the foam acts as a second face, so templates only include the larger face – up to a limit, where another piece of foam may be needed to make bigger faces. Where sections of armour or props have an edge, paper patterns need to include both faces in the unfold that make up the edge. Remember that two faces come together to form an edge. Paper is obviously extremely thin, whereas foam commonly ranges from 1mm-12mm, and even higher. The final big difference between the two is due to the difference in thickness in materials. please consider donating to help support. To simplify foam unfolds, these details are often removed or segregated as it’s easier to add them in once the bulk of the foam piece is done.ģ. My templates are Free but Donations help me keep my channel going So if a particular video or template helped you. On the other hand, typically for foam parts, these details can be done with a multitude of techniques, such as scoring and heating the foam (or using a wood burner/soldiering iron), stacking pieces, sculpting layered foam, foam clay, etc. For a pep file to get all the intricate details for a piece, those details have to be cut, folded and glued together to make them. Attempting to fold foam (8mm) over the ladel.Ģ.
