Would you believe me if I told you this is my first build with EVA foam.Never used it before starting this. I started with the boots and worked up from there. My skill level and confidence rose as I got further into the build. I still have a bit of finishing to do before I seal it for painting.I would at this point like to thank Wondersquid for making these patterns available for us to use.

I love this. Anyone know where in the UK to get some good foam to make this. I used cheap camping mats before but they cut bad and are not very good. Thanks.
I think the scaling issues will always be a matter of adjusting the actual patterns. You can only scale so much before its too small for your limbs to fit through. I wish I could say there is a magic formula, but when I scale pepakura, I scale every piece individually of the others. And this isn't pepakura at all, lol. Best suggestion? Maybe cut sections out of the middle of limbs? Loss a row of plating from the chest? Ultimately anything you do will have an effect on the design, but remember, you're doing this for fun.
I would do each piece one by one and transfer the pattern on to butcher's paper and check the sizing so that way you aren't cutting up foam pieces that won't fit.
ok. ill probably have to get my measurements before i can scale it then

No a £7 talking one from EBay 
UPDATE! - Finished the suit! Had an Event and had to quickly get the parts together. I realized I have to do some more adjustments, but I have time now to refine.

Now for the rest of the build stuff, enjoy!
The forearms getting their coating, found this wonderful stuff that coats and colors in one coat. My wife says we should sell it, what do you think?

Now the feet, made the base in a softer grey foam, then covewred with a harder, denser white foam for strength.

As far as Patterns, I'm really scared to post these, if you had trouble with the Last Cyberman, this one is literally a NIghtmare (in silver). Ill post them as soon as I can, but I really want to charge a fee, these were the hardest patterns I've done in a while. What say you all? Keep the donation or charge a fee?
