Did a quick showcase of this in my Foam Stormtrooper build over on the Star Wars board, but here's the rest.
This costume is for my 13 year old son, and is for a fancy dress party being held in just over 8 weeks. So, I have this to make now as well as finishing my Stormtrooper (for the same party...).
I printed the templates (Mk IV templates from robo3687 / JFCustoms & Sharkhead7854 helmet) at 90% which seems to fit him quite well... As with my stormtrooper, this is mainly made from 6.5mm exercise mats from Decathlon. For finer detail, I've used 1.5mm craft foam. For the soles on the boots I used 10mm eva foam floor mats - as mentioned above, all stuck together with hot melt glue...
I made the helmet last weekend, so this weekend I moved on to the the boots, body brace and chest. Have run out of glue sticks now though, so no more progress until I get some more (ordered and due to arrive mid / end of the week...)
Pieces completed so far:
Boots:
Chest:
Body brace rear detail:
Helmet:
Will post updates once I get more glue sticks (may also need to order some more exercise mats !
