UPDATE (11/09/2015): I got my materials and started making templates on Saturday. I wasn't sure how much EVA foam to get so I just got a little. I started measuring the dimensions of the mech by using a simple ruler and a 1:10.66667 proportion scale (as seen here). Later, I drew and cut out...

Okay- so I've bought some EVA Foam (right now 16 ft squared), a good craft knife, a cutting board, and I'm gonna start building soon. I plan to freehand from the feet, then build up. However, I've run into a problem already. Does anyone know how I can measure to see how long certain pieces are...

Hi NoreNZ, One of the ideas for curving Eva foam is to use a heat gun, molding it, and then letting it set. I'm not an expert at this process, but that's what I know. Hope this helped.

Thanks Ikras. I'm first gonna get a few mats and see how far it gets me, and then later I'll decide if I need more or anything. I'll hopefully make my own templates and then test em out with paper. Heat gun is a necessity, and same with everything else you posted. Thanks! Does anyone have any...

Thanks. I don't exactly know what I need for the project, though I will get EVA foam and LED lights strips. Anyone else can suggest (or just tell me) what I need, please do. I'm not precisely educated in the form of armor making and stuff. Thanks! THINGS I NEED: Red Light Strip AMAZON: (x1)...

Thanks. I couldn't find a lot of reference for the mech, and honestly I couldn't even find the height or ANYTHING about these mechs. I'm probably going to have to use stilts and arm extensions, but I'm not very sure about what types of foam I could use, or what sealant I should use? I haven't...

I've had some interest in creating a costume for a YMIR Mech from Mass Effect. It's kinda gonna be a long and busy project, so I'm opting to start it now, and maybe finish it by next summer? Not exactly sure, but I'll see how it goes. I wanted to do something unique, and not many people have...

Question: Could you give me the measurements of it approximately? I mean, how large the whole thing is and how large pieces of it are? Thanks. By the way, it looks great.
