Thanks for the Props. The only thing I would add, is make sure you use a good solid base for the pieces. I took the design and used a nice sturdy polystyrene to build the knee, then epoxy'd it to the lower and upper. Worked really well when walking!!

Not close ups, but, you can see how the knee works well

if anyone can give me some advice for hardening and smoothing the foam I'm thinking either fiberglass cloth with resin and then some bondo or just bondo. i dont know if this will be too heavy or if will even work.

Look at my suit on the last page (I think it's page 67). It is completely lined with epoxy resin over 5oz fiberglass cloth. Then the outer is coated in epoxy resin, sanded then plasti-dipped. Very strong, and the whole thing still weighs less than 20lbs. Do NOT use Poly Resin, as it will not cure properly on foam and will leave you one unhappy person!

Hey guys!

I after 2 months of constant work on my costume, I was able to finish it for the 2013 San Diego Comic Con! Thank you to Jackie, Helegak and all the unfolders for making it possible! Here are a few pics from the convention. It was a hit!
