Hello,
Due to some family matters I haven't had time to start an exo-suit costume from scratch this year, but would still like to build something new for Halloween. Could anyone please post hyperlinks to downloadable designs? I would be seeking to build primarily with EVA foam, not fiberglass; guessing this rules out most Pepakura? My only experience with building from templates is Evil Ted's foam helmets - printing out 8.5x11" pages and making trace patterns from them. I've not used Pepakura before much less related software - hoping for print-out patterns.
I'm open to most concepts. To date I'd been building G1 Transformers costumes but a change would be good. Examples of what I've made are here:
My 2018 Calgary Comic Expo G1 Transformers cartoon Megatron costume: https://imgur.com/gallery/S8XQYAp
My 2017 Calgary Comic Expo 80’s Transformers 9.1 scale Optimus Prime costume: http://imgur.com/gallery/2LLwh
My 2016 Calgary Comic Expo 80’s Transformers Devastator 8’6” costume: https://imgur.com/gallery/wgngZ
I've worked with cardboard (but would prefer not to again), EVA foam, hard insulation foam, and own a sewing machine.
Thanks for any suggestions!
