Hey Vin,

I'm new to the forums and to the foam building game. I've been wanting to build a Buzz costume for ages.
I must say I really love this build. Just curious as to what you used for the elbows? Is it also just foam?

Ive seen even a few others try to do the elbow joints but none have looked as accurate as yours.

I'm making a buzz and I have the same question as Mr. Litesnack here. Also, Vin, this build is nothing short of amazing!

Any chance we could bribe you into providing patterns for some of these pieces?

I actually ended up just making my own patterns. I used the patterning instructions from this guy:http://www.instructables.com/id/Buzz-Lightyear/ and ran with it. Then I made Emperor Zurg too for kicks and giggles.

I'm impressed. One of the best Buzz costumes i've seen in terms of the proportions. Buzz is a very odd shape so you have to compromise somewhere. You found a very nice balance.

What an awesome costume. I'm not sure how you store it, but I don't think I could resist building the box from the movie to display this thing. Right after I convinced my wife to give the spare room...

Hey, I know it’s been five years since this build but I’ll give you an update.

I ended up shipping this suit to a guy in Europe who uses it to visit sick children an hospitals. So it was a total win.

I was honored to have it place first in the RPF Halloween Costume Contest.

I have since joined the 501st legion and have continued to build costumes. I’ve ramped up to about three a year.

The work the 501st does to raise funds for children is awesome

Hope all of you continue to feed your creative souls
