M-3 Predator Pistol Build EVA MASS EFFECT

So after getting Mass Effect 3 I really wanted to make something form the universe into a prop.
I have worked with EVA foam before but I have only made some basic armour.
After seeing this on the 405th
 http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/35894-EVA-Foam-M-3-Predator-Pistol-(Mass-Effect-2)/page2 

Thought I would try my hand at it. Now it is the prototype. I have only done about 6hours work on it so far.

I used these pictures as reference. I printed and cut out the template above.

After cutting out the main body 3 times with a Hot Knife I got this
The Blue EVA foam is Just a little bit thinner. It means I don't have to sand as much.
It is also cheaper about half price. 

This is the main body hot glued together. Very rough it is just a test piece. I would like to eventually make and bondo a foam one and possibly mold it in the future.


This is after I have done some Dremel work added the side pieces with hot glue. Also using a Hot knife other tips burning details into the foam.

 More SOON!

Im having trougle finding more  craft foam for the armour. This was a trial but I might just go a head with what I have done and make this the final chest piece. Still working out what I can make the sword form. I also need to buy a hot-blade for cutting the EVA foam.

Chest Plate Update

 I Shaped the chest plate today turned out niceish. I had to pull apart the pices that go over the shoulder neck part. and glue them closer together.

Below. Thease are the pieces I've got ready to add to the sides so the chest plate reaches around to my back.

New Update! Chest Plate Glued.

Waithing for it to dry. this is the view from the back.

  As for the sword I found the dimentions.
  Total length is: 149.86cm (49')
  Blade length is: 60.96cm. (24') an Eva foam matt is 100cm × 100cm.
   I'll Split the blade and handle up and attach them later.
There is no way I'm going to be able to get the blade as thin and for it to stay in it shape.

Once the glue drys I plan on heat guning the chest plate. (I'll do a test piece first)
