Heh actually I am a bit worried about that as well since I am planning on doing the version with the Goldion Hammer and the StarGao space booster backpack. I hit enough doorways for one lifetime in my Gundam suit already.

Anyway here is a pic of a test I am doing on a piece of bicep armor made from 1/2 inch EVA. You can see why I am not impressed with the results this material is giving me so far. It tends to look lumpy even after being hit with a heat gun and no matter how sharp a blade I use I cant get the 'v' cuts i need to the inside to get a perfect fold for a nice clean edge. The material gives too easily.

Was trying to use a dremel with a sanding attachment to make the 'v' for the fold but if you do it that way you run the risk of going all the way through the foam and it doesn't come out clean enough for what I am trying to do.

Suggestions would be appreciated since Ive got a metric fuckton of this stuff and no dough to blow on another huge shipment of Sintra. I want to use this stuff as much as as can since its less likely to get damaged out on a con floor than Sintra.
