rough sketch of the pattern. (sorry, photo is not to scale. need to be resize)



a very quick, low quality sample...



chamfered edges to create groove when joined...







glue the thigh up to the hidden line...

Awesome photos and really awesome detail - thanks for your inspirational suite!

I want one - so im building one!

Cheers Roy

 

love how u accomplished this

 

Excellent work this will help a lot of guys out.

 

Cheers for this mate. I was looking for just the card version of this but i'm sure it won't be too hard to work round it.

Cheers again

 

err... how exactly do i scale this to my current armor, i'm in the midst of a mark 4 and i scaled it to 23.3 and everything so far fits perfectly (thank god) i would like the train to continue...

 

bumpity bump... i was hoping to make this tonight

 

now thats awesome! i need to be able dance so mobility is essential!

Cheers!!

 

is there a pdo or obj file for this ? forgive me. but im a noob and in the middlw of the mark 4 build and would love to add those peices, but have no idea where to start.

 

Excellent work on the thigh additions Roy...i will be borrowing your plans to finish up my suit

 

My thighs are complete. Then I saw your Hip piece that goes above it.
Awesome. I have tried everywhere to get peps for this. I am guessing you did not use Pepakura for this build. I could really do with a copy of the one you designed. Perfect makes things easy in life but life itself is Perfect. So why change it. Whoops I ranted on a bit there. Need to lay of the pills. LOL

 

wow. . i missed this thread. . .great idea

 

This. Is. Awesome!!!!

 

first off.. this build is AMAZING!! and the last post I looked at before I decided I have to do this... now to add this project to my normal wood working, building my niece's doll house, target shooting, and brewing beer lol.

but for a newbie ? (I know.. newbies suck) How much money am I looking at (american dollars) to build a foam costume like this. Just looking for approx here as I'm trying to sell it to the wife who is not a nerd like me lol. i do plan on covering most of the foam in plastic, and will eventually add several servos to create moving parts as I move on, but mostly I'm wanting to get the main outfit first.. then move on to making it ridiculous!

 

Totally depends what route you go. Plastic coating will be one of the more expensive ways of getting a foam suit. You are really limited by what foam and paint you can get locally, or what you chose to order in. Its not hard to find out what the costs of this foam and paint will be if you have a sniff around your local stores

 

awesome job ..what about the back of the tops?, near the backside?
