Tips & Tricks Anyone used EVA foam for anything? Any tips?

What the title says.

I know it's generally frowned upon with the 501st/Mando Mercs/Rebel Legion, just want to know if anyone has used it?

Thinking of making my own armour and doing my own thing with it.

 

I've never worked with it myself, but I've watched a few videos on it. Here is one of the most informative ones I've watched. They have tutorials on doing male and female armor with EVA, as well as some props. Hope that helps!

 

I know, for the Mercs at least, you cannot be approved with EVA foam armor.

 

Oh I know. The final thing I have brewing in my head isn't something I don't really intend on using for membership in the Mercs or 501st. I just want to know if there are any SW cosplayers here that use it.

Evil Ted is great

 

Kamui Cosplay on YouTube made a cool TIE Fighter Pilot Helmet, Breastplate and Chestbox out of EVA foam. Based upon her videos, I would like to give it a go myself, as it looks awesome.

 

Here Svetlana shows how to make the TIE pilot costume. The belt, chest box and breastplate are made from EVA foam:



And the helmet, again with EVA foam:
