Well it is official! I have decided on my big costume for 2015 - The Armored Kantus from Gears of War. We're looking at slip-cast latex appliances for the head and arms, stilts and prosthetics for the feet, and a metric butt-ton of foam. I haven't done an extensive amount of work with foam in the past so this should be quite a project to learn from.
Also for this project I'm going to make an extra effort to document my work as I've been pretty lousy about that in the past.
Since the forum is more suited for blog-style entries about processes and techniques, I'll do more of my day to day post snippets on my facebook page: www.facebook.com/jarmanprops
Here goes something...

The first step in what will be a long long journey.
This mannequin's shoulders are a little broader than my own but so far it has proved to be a very hand tool for patterning out the larger sections of the armor.
