Cyberman in FOAM!!! - WITH PATTERNS!!

[wondersquid]

Hi, Wondersquid, are your patterns still available? I visited your link a couple of days ago.

The link is still working, did you enter an email address? Did you check your spam folder? Try it again, the link is emailed immediately. I just did it a moment ago and got the patterns.

Thank you Shiroppi, for answering questions, I've been so busy trying to get the new patterns made up so i can release them. Can't wait to see who is up to the challenge.

Posted a WIP pic over at the cyber legion Facebook group. But figured I'd post it here too. Finally getting back to this project after three months of it sitting around in my garage and I have to get this done sooner than later. Im in the Navy and depending on my underway schedule, I may or may not be going to SDCC.

Using smooth-on Epsilon and bondo for most parts. You can see the shiny boot with just the base two coats of Epsilon. Everything else has been bondoed and primed. Helmet is pep (epoxy/glass/bondo) with a craft foam faceplate to add some missing detail, the rest is foam. Mostly the JF custom files, I had those before wondersquid released his, but I'm going to rebuild the shins and build gloves with his templates. Thanks wondersquid!

Hi. Would you mind posting a rear view of the head again because In the original photo there was a lot of glare. Thanks

 

[wondersquid]

The 2005 head? Or the 2013 head?

 

[Miki]

May I ask what you used to cut down the multi-layers craft foam to get such a perfect edge? This is simply amazing work! I'm very impressed that everything is yours!

 

[wondersquid]

If you're talking about the ridge on the head, that was done with a band saw.

 

[Miki]

Ah, dang, I suspected as much but was hoping for a different answer! Thank you so much, and again, this is simply amazing. The stuff where they grab a pattern online is cool, but it's a whole new lvl when you make the pattern yourself!

Experimenting with lights for the mouth. I used a small piece of perspex with holes drilled down from the top edge then drilled a larger hole to recess the L.E.Ds. The lights are a string of battery powered Christmas lights stripped down to 3 LED. I'm working on a simple switch to turn them on and off when talking.

Miki, I cut mine with a sharp knife at a 45 degree angle and took my time. Practice on some scrap before attempting the piece.

 

[wondersquid]

You could carefully cut all the layers the same, glue them together into the big block, then sand with a 150 or 220 grit sand paper, that might give you something similar.

Almost finished just a few issues with the undersuit

 

[aaronhawksley]

If you are responding to me it is the 2005 design. In your original photo there is a lot of glare on the rear view and I can't see how the ridge is done. Thanks.

 

[wondersquid]

Very nice work Thunder!

Aaronhawksley - I'm not sure what you mean, is the white foam too glaring? I have construction photos, but as far as finished stuff, I need to make another helmet if you want a better view.

 

[Thunder]

Thanks Wondersquid.I'm glad you started this thread it has been my go to if I got stuck

 

[Wheatbee]

Love the Cybermen, you've really captured them here. Congratz on a job well done!

Thanks for the patterns wondersquid. This is my first attempt at using foam... so many mistakes but learning as I go with each part better than the last. My previous attempts at cosplay has consisted of making a Vashtna Nerada costume using the pepakura and fibreglass method. I have an old Cyberman voice changer and still have the the rear section of the Cyberman voice change to do, bondo, and paint.

Can anyone tell me how they joined the rear section of the front chest piece - hot glue (I think this will just pull the joint apart when fitting), or, velcro with someone joining together the piece once fitted?
