can you give me an idea on how to make the stuff?

take the flat kind and paint it with spray paint. than cut and glue it. you can use packing foam (The dense black kind) to help hold the corners and add padding.

ok^_^ I'll start that,and once I've completed it,I'll ask you about the other things,k?

AAAUGH!

Sorry, I just hate cardboard mechs. They always dent and look bad by the end of a con. I'd suggest sheet plastic instead of cardboard.

The best way to get a design for a gundam is to buy the put-it-together model kit. That way, you get numbered parts that you just have to scale up and connect together.

ok. if you going to do this, i suggest you do this right and don't half-ass it. i've seen beautiful gundams, like this burning gundam one,

and i've seen horrible ones.....like this one.....

get it? the best of luck to you in your endeavor!

aah,mine will most likely look like the second one..

Even if it does look like crap, it was an honest try and you made a better one than 95% of Cosplayers could make... or even TRY to make.

*nods*I want to make the best one I can--or atleast make the mask so I can walk around wearing it:P heh...this is for "mechacon"a mech fest
