This is the first attempt at making the gundam helmet back when the costume was planned to be my friends costume and not my mine. I later started again from scratch.

The start of the real helmet which is the most difficult piece of the whole costume.

Here you can see the mostly finished helmet. It was extremely important to make it as close fitting to my head as possible so it would look well scaled with the body.

This is the waist which was the first piece made of the body. It’s actually two pieces which are put together with velcro.

Here’s the chest being worked on. As you can see the cardboard I used is pretty standard stuff you can find anywhere. The white parts are comic backs for the small areas and poster board for the larger ones.

The mostly built chest, it was a very complex shape and it was pretty hard to get my head around the way they interacted and in which order to build them.

Next I started in on the limbs. This is the forearm in progress.

The arms stayed in places simply do to a tight fit.
