W.I.P of Don Robert's mk V. So sorry if these are the only photos. It was an impromptu project done in 1 week - just before the 4th Philippine Cosplay Convention last March 5.

4 days sculpt. 3 days painting. crazy. But the end result was crazier - won "Best Male" award. yeah. uber cool. Didn't expect that. :)

Scratch build and a few recycled parts of his previous suit.

The chest was originally his prototype mk6 suit, edited to become the mk5.

For this suit he used thin aluminum strips to which he cut individually and glued them to the rubber in layers as per the references we got via the internet & his mk5 toy.

Had some battle damaged effect on the chest.

Airbrushed by Cyback.

He also made a suitcase to which he carried around when we arrived at the event venue this morning before he changed into the suit.

Personally, I think this is one of his best work, I especially love the thighs & legs. I asked him if this was his best suit so far and he actually answered no and said its still the mk4 he considers as his best IM suit. He also said the mk5 is a lot easier to do than the mk4 as its more of a pattern-making based suit which you just glue to the base part.

Cant wait to see more pics! So do you take the pep and press it down onto the foam and cut it and shape it form that for these helmets?

I build the pep, then Robert demolishes it. :lol
Yeah. But it's not just about tracing and cutting. You have to think how to make each part with lesser cuts, make lesser qty of parts,etc.

eventually, he got tired and threw it away.

:lol yeah. Robert almost killed me for putting him into the frying pan. :angel But seriously, the mk V is really part of his plans. Actually he's thinking of a way on how to simulate the attaching of the costume to the body. He already has an idea. we're hoping it would work though. If it works, i'm sure it would be awesome to do in a cosplay catwalk. :$

But unfortunately, we can't meet the deadline for June 19. :( we got caught by the commission we had. ~sigh. Anyways, we'll still do this and probably launch it in another event. So we'll still keep you guys posted. :D

I was thinking if you start off with a spandex body suit and add onto it with foam it would look nice and form fitting and just zip it up the back with a velcro flap covering the zipper up with the spine section. Just an idea.
