My VOLTRON costume

Ace007, There wasnt much around when I was looking. I found a few good refer. pics, but unfortunately, I do not have my figures anymore (thats changing now thanks to Mattycollector). I also have to give inspiration/credit where it is due, as Voltron Girl was huge in this! I was gonna go for Soundwave from the old transformers, but I hadnt seen a Voltron, so I went for it. Heres a few pics I had...
 
You also have to understand that I built this in 33 days, and a total of 150 hours w no prior experience working w cardboard....
 
I tried to stay true to form when I built it, but I wanted to add some of my own flair, so that I knew it was "mine". You will notice some of my detailing is different from the pictures, but it also depends on what version you go for, as there are many different renditions of this character. I have added some things and still have a few to add, and also change to make it absolutely complete, but I was certainly happy with it.
I have since made friends with Jeremy & Bob from WEP here in St louis, which landed me some really cool blueprints and unreleased stuff to work from to do my Voltron Force (nicktoons version). I also got a chance to meet Brandon Thomas, for the release of Voltron #1 of the new comic series. Super cool. Actually, if I was gonna do another version of this 1st gen costume, I would use the Sean Chen versions as my ref. He keeps it really traditional and just plain cool! Thanks for the replys fellas', I certainly appreciate it, and will try and help as much as possible if anyone trys to go for the build....
