Winter Soldier Arm Tutorial - EVA Foam

[@VariablePenguin]

I've really been wanting to make this one for a while. I'll have to give it a go when I'm not constantly building Tron discs. And yes, please make the mask too.

There’s a good chance that I will 😎

[@terriwhyte8064]

im liking these longer in depth tutorials, there is a lot of good tips and tricks in here.

[@TheSmartin102]

Now all I got to do is flip the templates over for the right are and voila! No need for the gym for arm and shoulders day lol. You had me rolling at the whole Bob Ross thing lol. You are my Bob Ross of the cosplay world lol. Been pretty busy doing adult stuff for the past several weeks but will try to get back into building and build this. Great job!!

[@Heroesworkshop]

Thanks so much, Steve!

That arm turned out awesome! I would like to see a mask build as well, thanks for sharing

[@gabrielsantiagomaldonadora1307]

Thanks for this You are the real soldier

[@themanfromjupiter910]

full body wraps or limbs like this arm seem complicated but the pieces were all pretty large and did not have a lot of complex cuts. much easier than I thought it would be. especially when compared to most helmets.

[@Heroesworkshop]

It’s not as difficult of a project as it looks. That’s why I said I’m sure anyone out there can make a better one than me with some patience vs my rush job to get the tutorial done. 😎👌🏼

[@ImmortalReaver]

I liked, commented, already subscribed, made my cat watch with me, called my grandma and told her to watch it, and printed out a picture of the thumbnail and posted it around my city. also the algorithm

You can also use a sharpie or a black pen to highlight the recessed details. thats what I do to highlight mine.

[@drwhoweigs]

I would love to see you make either full armor or at least the head of a Cyberman from Doctor Who.

I would like to make at least the head. I always like that design.

[@blizatrex]

This is great. Thanks for sharing. And of course we would want to see the mask totorial.

Definitely want that mask, I remember I saw someone else make a mask, but his tutorial was super complicated with a lot of random materials, and it didn't even look at good as most of your works, so yeah! Mask pls! Lol

This is so cool I can't wait to try and make it myself during summer! A suggestion I have is anything from the anime My Hero Academia.

[@testis3167]

The mask of (I don't know whether he is a hero or a villain) the man with two hands covered his head (one on his mouth, and another on his back head) looks cool to me.

[@redninja4808]

@@testis3167 Haha that's exactly why I made this comment. He's my favorite character and the hands looks super cool. (btw he's a villain)

[@aprilblackregentart6647]

That turned out really nice! I’m glad you talked a little about sanding Kwik Seal. I saw Odin say he sanded some in an old video but he didn’t go in-depth. I had assumed since it was flexible there was no sanding you could do

[@Heroesworkshop]

I learned the hard way to just let it dry 24 hours and it can really make parts smooth with some really high grit sand paper. Especially over seams. Some will say you can’t but I do it off and on project and it can work.

[@MacoroGamer]

cool! I've been waiting a lot for this video, unfortunately I don't have a credit card to pay for the templates, but I'll be guided by this video, thanks!

Loved the tutorial Stealth! I would love to see Falcon’s wings and maybe something spider-man related? Springtrap or some other FNAF character would be very cool too! Sadly I didn’t have enough time to make it but there is always next year! Definitely subscribing!

[@Heroesworkshop]

Thanks for checking out the video. I probably won’t be doing anything like that in the future. I’m moved away from marvel stuff for a while. I also don’t do requests. From here on out, I’ll be building more personal things that are special to me and inspire me and motivate me to actually make them.

I should’ve really used a zipper but it only came to me after I was done. I might add one now.

That is so cool dude, you really did amazing with it, and I recently bought your templates for the Arkham Origin Deathstroke helmet and they are so amazing, thank you for putting this much time and effort into these things, I couldn’t find many other templates for it and when I did, they were really simple, crappy templates, I’m really stoked to start tracing them and putting it together, especially since it looks super accurate.

Use the scaling method I used in this tutorial for that armor. It’s a huge help for measuring each armor part.

Hey Stealth Can you make a video on how to scale pepakura files and templates to fit your needs?

[@Heroesworkshop]

I did in my in-depth Pepakura Foam tutorial. This video also gives the basic concept as well.

[@Sanzyboiindafuture]

Why do you always use floor wax instead of clearcoat? Is the floor wax flexible?

[@Heroesworkshop]

Yes, it’s flexible.

[@Sanzyboiindafuture]

I have very skinny arms so this was a little bit harder to do but I still got a very good result 😂thank you for your video 😊

[@Heroesworkshop]

Awesome to hear!!

[@christinawatts7808]

Did you start out with a stl file? Do you have a tutorial for step by step unfolding the file and clearing out all the useless folds?

[@Heroesworkshop]

No. It didn’t start from an STL file. Those are way too high poly for Pepakura. It was always a low poly model. I unfortunately don’t have a tutorial for what you’re asking. Sorry, Christina.

[@philg5299]

where did yall get the foam ?

[@powercomix]

I made a foam soldier arm a few years back for a big event me and my friends did. Wasnt nearly as good as yours. I wish I had this back then. Wish I could post a pic here to show. Might do this one down the line... 🤔 So I was wondering if u have a video of the studio and tools you use? That paint gun you use i sell at my work and would be great to use but I don't have an air compressor to use it. But do you have something that kinda shows off all the tools you use in little detail

Lol, loved the Bob Ross bit! Ty for another great tutorial. I wanted to ask, when you curve a piece of foam, how do you get the angle just right every time? Do you ever have to reheat and re-bend it? It looks like you use the same size ball for each one and nail it every time, and I’d love to get there myself! Any tips would be welcome!

You just keep shaping it until you get it how you want it. It can form that way at times.

same question! did you already found out how much you need?

[@MahmudNur-z6y]

will you ever upload a template for free??

[@drkfsh3045]

Hey! Just a question. Would I be able to trace the stencil without taping it and then use contact cement and glide the seams on the foam?

[@Heroesworkshop]

You don’t need to do the technique I did with taping the seams at all. It’s just to reduce seams that you would need to sand and fill later. You can still trace the template as it is and glue the foam seams later. It’s just more filling and sanding work. That’s all😎

[@drkfsh3045]

Fantastic thank you!

Hi. I am wanting to try this build but I do not have access to pepakura. I was hoping to purchase the file and have the templates printed at a local print shop. They are not familiar with pepakura or pdo. Files. Can these be converted to pdf files or something standard so I could have them printed?

No sorry. A pdf will be just the template outlined and no instructions. You need the software to see what piece connects to what.

8 ads? Yet, I still hardly make any money from these videos. Go figure. It gets hot with the gloves on but nothing crazy. The stands are paper towel roll holders from the dollar store with a styrofoam ball on it.

I appreciate that man. KZbin has been really burying my videos as of late and don’t get shared much to recommended to allow it to go past the few subs that watch them when they’re published. Another factor is that people don’t really watch the building part and skip to the end. This 29min videos has a 6min watch duration average. So that hurts its reach as well.

This was an awesome guide thanks for posting. My only complaint is I thought it was a little unclear which parts needed a bevel cut, took me a hot minute to work that out. Otherwise great tutorial.

[@Heroesworkshop]

You needed to pay attention to the intro if you were new. You watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIPVl5aie6mciZI and then apply what you learn to any foam Pepakura file. It’s always the same approach. No need to explain bevels if you watch that and learn how to locate angles and choose the right angled cut.
