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.

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.

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.

Where can you get the sheet plastic or pre-made put together suits?
