Cosplay Foam Projects

Learned how to work with cosplay foam to make a Mandalorian costume, winning the Smith Family Halloween costume contest. The following year I made armor and went as a Roman soldier. Using my new foam-working superpowers, I also made a temporary leg cast from foam for my dog to keep him from licking a wound.
