Just wanted to share my progress on my current costume build, not Iron-Man related, but still in foam.
Gurren Lagann Costume build, I'll be using this on a local event (Cosplay Mania 2013) here in the Philippines on October 5-6. So this will be a 2-week rush build.
For those who isn't familiar with Gurren Lagann is a Japanese Mecha Anime television series.
This build is also inspired by toja and his own Gurren Lagann Project (man you are sooo awesome!)

I'll be using pepakura files for this (the same files used by toja on his own build), but i will modify some parts for personal foam use (and for obvious reasons, i cant share them because i'm not authorized to do so).
Good thing about this build is it doesn't require electronics at the moment. The mecha itself (from the anime/manga) can summon drills anywhere on its body, that's right ANYWHERE specially those wholes on this feet hips arms etc, which can be motorized, but I will not do that for now because I need to rush this.
I already built the helmet, minus the horn details, pretty badass if you ask me lol
Critics and suggestions/comments are welcome This will be my first mecha build not based on Iron-Man, but I will use similar techniques here like sealing with acrylic emulsion, the straps and pivot points etc. .
Thanks! :thumbsup
