So I started this last week, probably put around 25 - 30 hours into it so far.
Whole build is going to be card and foam, some of the smaller details I'll likely use some bits of piping and stuff.
Majority has been done with various different paper template files I've found or made myself hopefully will have it finished within a week, 2 at the most.
What you can see in the pictures is all still very rough, the skin hasn't been engraved yet and is just roughly pinned onto the card body.
The legs still need the front attaching correctly at the minute again its just tacked on with a couple of blobs of glue, as I've cut down the wooden pole and attached them to it inside first.
The head needs a bunch of reinforcing with card and foam as right now its quite floppy.
So far I've spent around £10 on 4 rolls of foam, probably another 3 rolls needed which will bring it up to £17.50 I've got a fair amount of white, chrome and red paint left over from past Stormtrooper and Iron man builds so shouldn't need to spend much if anything at all on paint and probably used about £5's worth of glue sticks.
I'm classing this one as a trial build, if it all goes well, I'll likely put this on ebay and go for a more expensive foam next time. I use these blue camping mats a lot for trial builds as they're only £2.50.
