I'm going to do the anime version with all the philosopher markings in red paint. It's going to look awesome!

Pepmaster,
I adore what you have done.
For years, I had wanted to make this full suit. Looked online and all I could find were foot tall models, and helmets that.. well.. did not meet my standards. So I set off making it by hand, I probably went through 4 or 5 different helmet prototypes (a couple of the better ones are still sitting around) I downloaded every reference pic I could find and put so much time into this. Finally I found a beautifully rendered Alphonse model, breathtaking, 93,000 vertices and rendered with wear with Zbrush. I asked the owner and ecstatically for me he agreed. It was the holy grail, was so elated. Then i quickly found out that learning 3d modeling software, and unfolding would not only take far longer than I thought, but learning to use the programs would take even longer. I gave it a decent effort, but over time with the multiple screwups I decided to put him on the back burner to pursue other prop/costumes, and my other art interests. I figured as I continue in engineering I will pick up more knowledge with these programs and would tackle it when it became a little more manageable.
And then you came, in your shining, generous glory. I just found these files today... and sadly for my other builds... they will have to share their time slot with Sir Elric.
Graciously you will receive credit, shame on those who call upon their own inability and laziness to claim your models as their own. It's one thing to tell someone you made your own armor, its another to take credit for the pep model and even sell it. I feel your disgust and aggravation.
I will post my progress on here and testify the final build as a testimony of your pep skills. Again, I greatly appreciate all your work, I would like to shake your hand (or hugs >.> ... I'm a hugger)
All the best and continued thanks, ultulva (aka FaceLiftCustoms)

The password is given on the thread on cosplay.com.
I'm shorter, but I'm actually scaling it up too, so I can wear it such that its head is completely above my own. That way I can take the helmet off and it will appear to be empty. Plus it would just look kind of silly if I made it to my actual size (5'6").

New to the forum, just joined yesterday infact. I have a cast model that is nicely detailed in every area. I know the PEP files are available but more reference points and models give better accuracy for our PEP efforts. Looking forward to trying this 'new to me' art form. Has interesting parallels to the Slot Car track design I work with.

Hi guys,
so it looks like this is the place to go to for making your own FMA Al costume.
Two questions:
1. Is this link to the "foam" or "paper" version of the costume? I'm not exactly sure what the difference is or what the process would be. Can anyone direct me to the best (or easiest) way to build this from the PeP file?
2. I am going to attempt to build this myself for a friend who is 6". Both of us noticed is that the head-body ratio seems a little bit off. Al's body is significantly larger than his head in the anime. So, we were toying with the idea of making the body 7 feet tall, and mounting al's head to the top of a construction helmet that my friend wears around, and scaling the head to be smaller (now that he doesn't actually have to wear it.) I think it also would give the appearance that Al has nothing in his armor.
Of course, then we'd have to figure out how to get him to see through the armor.
So uh, let me know what you guys think. Any overall advice would also be greatly appreciated.

P.S.: I will post the how the costume looks once I'm done with it for sure!!! But it may take a while since college is starting again XD.
Someone please delete this...'cause i don't see a delete button D:.
