If you can find a model, take those pieces, scale them up to draw onto foam pieces and play around with that for a base

>>9605008
I've got the model actually. So I should use foamcore to create a base form to work off of then?

By the way, I intend to eventually utilize fiberglass and resin to form the pieces

Check out 'Clive Lee's Gundam/Mecha tutorial' It's a step-by-step process. You don't necessarly have to follow it, but it does give sweet results.

I'm currently starting on Nethergundam and did Nobell Gundam in the past.

I made a Hyaku Shiki MS girl style costume for my GF awhile back. If you want I can email you the pep files I used as a basis for it. Obviously I didn't use all the parts but the model has everything and is pretty well detailed. If you'd like I can post a few pointers or vids as well if need specific advice. Post an email and I will send the files along to you tomorrow.

That'd be a great help. I'm trying to use older pep helmets as a starting point to make a scratch build, and its taking longer than anticipated

Just sent it along. Sorry for the delay, had to work extra hours the past few days.

Thanks. Im actually looking to sell it right now since I need space for future projects and I have pretty much replaced the MK-II with my RX-79G for my traveling suit.

Here are some of the others I made

Any tips for making an MS girl costume?
Like certain parts you recommend to scale/lose for mobility

I am working on a Genesic but progress is very slow because my job has me working an average of 80hrs a week.

I scaled everything down by about 25% from a full suit except for the helmet. Losing the waist, thighs and biceps is pretty much a must if your going for the kind of look similar to the AGP figures.

That limits your ways to balance things though. From the Hyaku I had to add 3 lbs of sand bags to the front of the torso to counterbalance the wings. Normally for a full suit it would all be strapped in so I wouldn't have to do that, but for this style a bunch of straps would hurt the look. No torso armor to hide anything.

If you can avoid platform shoes. My GF had a pretty hard time getting around with them.
