Just wanted to share my progress on my current costume build, not Iron-Man related, but still in foam.

Gurren Lagann Costume build, I'll be using this on a local event (Cosplay Mania 2013) here in the Philippines on October 5-6. So this will be a 2-week rush build.

For those who isn't familiar with Gurren Lagann is a Japanese Mecha Anime television series.

This build is also inspired by toja and his own Gurren Lagann Project (man you are sooo awesome!)

http://www.therpf.com/f24/tengen-toppa-gurren-project-toja-168291/ <--check out his own build :)

I'll be using pepakura files for this (the same files used by toja on his own build), but i will modify some parts for personal foam use (and for obvious reasons, i cant share them because i'm not authorized to do so).

Good thing about this build is it doesn't require electronics at the moment. The mecha itself (from the anime/manga) can summon drills anywhere on its body, that's right ANYWHERE specially those wholes on this feet hips arms etc, which can be motorized, but I will not do that for now because I need to rush this.

I already built the helmet, minus the horn details, pretty badass if you ask me lol :)

Critics and suggestions/comments are welcome :) This will be my first mecha build not based on Iron-Man, but I will use similar techniques here like sealing with acrylic emulsion, the straps and pivot points etc. .

Thanks! :thumbsup
