Sounds like you had a great time. Thats what I really look forward to when I can finally wear one of my costumes to an event like a con. Oh and by the way, I found those files on 405th. Thanks for the tip

Thanks a lot!
OMG congrats! You both look amazing! Thanks for posting those pictures.
Of course! I'm still scouring the internet for more pictures...and now comes the hard part.
I've begun work on the hands, and currently have CADD files developed for Cherno's palm, finger, and thumb, and just need to finish the articulator piece that will attach to the palm so that Hailee can grasp a handle to squeeze to open Cherno's hands.
I've also begun work on Gipsy's hands:
But it occured to me that I might be able to manipulate the pep file I have atm instead since Solid Edge can open .obj files. Unfortunately today (being super bowl sunday) the computer commons are closed, so I've been unable to work on them further (as well as unable to do my homework :angry ). Instead I've begun researching how to make a Kaiju, since the girl in California who made leatherback has not gotten back to me and I haven't found anyone else nearby making any kaiju. After initially reviewing Alpha Proto's work I was looking at a foam musculature with a stretchy fabric stretched over it (or perhaps some latex) to give body structure while maintaining mobility and minimizing cost. However I've also been looking into bodycasting tutorials...and haven't found any (if anyone has some that'd be awesome). My only hesitation to bodycasting (besides my total inexperience at actually casting living things, considering I've only ever done sand casting before) is the cost inherent in the process, however I can't help but feel we'd get a more impressive look using a cast body.
Then again, the rigid look of foam may be better for doing Raiju.
The other thing I've been researching is my secret project X :devil which will come into play at PHXCC if we can get a Kaiju there...Specifically, whatever Kaiju we go up with will get boatmurdered! :devil Of course, finding references for the Tanker itself are an excercise in difficulty already considering the only time it appears is in a few blurry scenes in the rain...
Ultimately though, research and studying was boring the **** out of me, so today I made this:

Il tuo inglese è un po 'difficile da capire (ma è un sacco meglio del mio italiano ... speriamo Google Translate non macellare questo troppo male). Stai chiedendo un file pepakura? Questo è in realtà un file sldprt, per l'uso con SolidWorks. E 'stato fatto in questo modo perché il file obj non può essere stampati in 3D o stampati ad iniezione. OBJ non memorizzano corpi solidi, leggono tutto come gli aerei, quindi una stampante 3D non riconosce qual è il modello e cosa non lo è. In teoria si potrebbe usare questo con pepakura, ma devi essere più probabilità di avere successo utilizzando i file pepakura già forniti qui su The RPF. Sono progettati per un facile utilizzo, mentre il mio sta per essere davvero aggravante per l'uso.
Your english is a little hard to understand (but it's loads better than my italian...hopefully google translate doesn't butcher this too badly). Are you asking for a pepakura file? This is actually a sldprt file, for use with solidworks. It is being made like this because the obj file can't be 3d printed or injection molded. OBJ files don't store solid bodies, they read everything as planes, so a 3D printer doesn't recognize what's the model and what isn't. In theory you could use this with pepakura, but you'd be more likely to be successful using the pepakura files already provided here on The RPF. They are designed for easy of use, while mine is going to be really aggravating to use.

Just thought I'd bring this to your attention, Striker Eureka unfolds are available, but they arent prepped for foam

Really interested to see how your hands come together and work, im building gypsy as well and the fingers are going to be tough. Started following your build on the 405th so its cool to see this here as well

Well...this past week was spring break so I predictably got almost nothing done outside of a few school projects...that said, we have begun work on a few things.
Hailee's stilts are getting patched up. We're using a system not unlike Forest Gump's leg braces, just less restrictive, in order to allow her to move her stilts with her whole leg rather than just dragging them around with her feet. As such I got the aluminum measured and spaced with all the bolt holes to be drilled:
We've also begun work on another little something...
Since...well..now we have jaegers. But jaegers have no place in the world...without a Kaiju.
Also the lady who video'd us at Amazing Arizona Comicon finally released her video!

I had an idea for Cherno's telescoping piston arm thing. It was raining one day and I pushed the button on the handle, and the umbrella launched out and opened. The I thought, you could use a similar set up for that. A pison punch action

The problem with this is getting the forearms to auto-retract...since that's not usually something that spring loaded umbrellas do.
Blegh, these past few weeks have sucked...got a speeding ticket for 7 over, had my casting project break while we were molding it, a bunch of other stuff...so today I decided to get over it and keep working:
As such, I got the leg brace portions of hailee's stilts almost done (just gotta finish attaching everything together)
Also finished the crutches that Coulton will be using for his Kaiju:
And hopefully Cherno will be done-ish for tuesday, where we're heading up to tempe to give a presentation on our armor making to ASU Tempe's cosplay club (don't know their official title off hand unfortunately) but the plan is for it all to be good by then.

I just saw your video from the Arizona comicon. That was sick.
