Myself as RX-78 Gundam.

Videos of the costume in action are available on Youtube >> [link] <<

Costume took about a year to complete working on it off and on. The majority of it was completed in the 4 month interim between AFO 2011 and Chibi-pa 2011.

Materials used include PVC, Fiberglass, Bondo, Foamboard, Craft Foam and much more. The ipod on the side of the chest is hooked up to a speaker in the chest that plays various sounds clips and songs from various Gundam anime. The beam saber is made from a 1/12 scale official replica that was gutted and combined with electronics from a Star Wars FX lightsaber.

I won best in show at Chibi-pa in my first contest with this costume. :D

I am currently planning some major improvements and additions before I take it another con.

Photos & Videos by :iconthirdstop:

Based on a heavily modified 3D Pepkura Model originally provided by "Juice" of the 405th Forums.

::Edit::

Wow cant believe this got a DD! Thank you everyone for the favs and compliments!

How long did it take you to make the suit and how hard was it to make?

It took about a year of me working on it off an on, though Ive returned to it to make adjustments numerous times. Its not an easy build, though I am a bit more confident and faster now.

Great Work! Just out of curiosity, how much did it cost to make this? I'm wondering because i was thinking about getting into cosplay myself, and i don't want to end up with a half finished suit in the basement.

This probably cost me about $500-800 USD in materials. Its high because I ended up buying alot of materials that did not end up working as well as I thought they would at first and ended up having to buy other stuff. If I were to make it again knowing what I know now Id have to guess it could be done for 300-500$
