Hey guys! I'm new to pepakura and this is my first build. I have been busy building the paper models that you guys have so generously provided (Chest, Abs, Shoulders, and Helmet) and they have turned out great. I am currently in the process of applying the fiberglass and bondo. I am planning to attend my first con in two weeks and am looking to have a complete costume by then. Are there paper files for the gauntlets, legs, and belt out there on this thread? I would greatly appreciate if you guys could point them out to me or upload them if you already have them. Thanks in advance!
Thanks! I used a 10.2 scale. I'm 6'4". Leaving room for a muscle suit underneath.
Some photos of my finished suit. 17 days of construction since SDCC!
And it rained as we were walking there...
It was rushed for this con but I'll definitely be tweaking it. A more accurate helmet and shoulder set for sure. Thighs need adjusting. And I need to attach the hand plates.

Can point us there to let us have a peek at it?
When I created my Buzz Light year I made a hinge at the knee with a set of screws and washers. I backed up the foam with a sheet of styrene plastic in the spot where the hinge was to prevent the foam from tearing.
This kept the legs and shins totally in alignment all the time and insured that they didn't separate from each other.
Just a thought!

Great idea!!
Tried to use the files for the helmet, but found that starting from scratch gave me a better form. I will release the patterns as soon as i clean them up, but fair warning, they are NOT PEPAKURA.

Hey everyone, I've been following this thread for a while now, and thought it was time to share my progress so far, it's a modified version of the KadzaNeon armor. I've still got quite a bit to do, but for my first ever build, I'm pretty proud of it.
I'm going to re-tool the shin and knee parts, and probably make a size smaller helmet with less thick foam. Other than that, I just have to make a cape, add some detail, and paint.

Great job. I will be cutting and hopefully getting ready to paint after this weekend. Lets just see if the rain holds out. I have a friend who has done a couple of foam suits come over. So here is to having it done for dragoncon. I have got my cape material in the mail on Monday. I just cant wait to get this completed.

How is everyone attaching their capes to the foam armor? I am still building the armor now, but if I can put some sort of harness in now, so it will not rip the foam I would rather do that now while im building it than after I completed. it. Thoughts....... Looking forward in seeing everyone's builds'.
I folded the corners into a strip, glued around a buckle I made that looks like the strap. Then hot glued a long strip of industrial Velcro onto the strip of cape and then going over the shoulders. I then added rare earth magnets for added reinforcement.

the suit looks great so far!! I was just gonna offer I wouldn't mind doing the unfolding for the bottom half of the suit!! so if you want send me the files and I'm willing to do the unfolding, originally I had started working on an iron patriot suit for comic con, I have the upper body done and when I saw the BVS trailer with this suit I just had to find files for it as soon as possible, got on google and I'm looking at the photos of it I would absolutely love to do unfolding!
