if you live in eugene, would you happen to know where to buy craft foam and they other type of foam (forgot name) but comes in large blocks?
-
what are you making
-
mega man X kinda like this http://zerohybrd.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/594.jpg

im thinking of trying to make the armor by using craft foam and then shaping wonderflex over it (still trying to figure out how to do that =/) OR using polystyrene sheets though i need to figure out where to get those too -.-
-
try factory fabrics on 7th street or Joanns on River road, if you want stiff insulation foam try jerrys or home depot.

I'm not sure how big of "blocks" the foam may come in at Jo Ann’s of Factory Fabrics. If you could use soft blocks of foam like in seat cushions you could try B&H Upholstery at 775 Wilson Street in west Eugene (a block from my shop) or Econo sales on main in Springfield. They might be spendy so another alternative is to look in the back alleys near the U of O and get the cushions off all the couches the college students are abandoning this time of year. And I'd sugest as fun as an electric carving knife can be to use a hot wire cutter makes a better cut. I got once at Crapworld years ago but they closed Jo Ann's is the only place i can think of in town thet might have some. Hmmm and is thee still that craft store on the south side of the gateway mall parking lot
