Total cost was roughly $1300 and it took up about 450 hours of fun (aka labor). I have been trying to teach myself the software though, and this is the largest and most complicated thing I have ever designed.
Designing everything in 3D was a huge hurdle. It is fully articulated and I am extremely proud of it. None, literally, if it did, Id be screwed. I love pepakura so much because it takes essentially no artistic talent to put them together. pepakura template, pattern for self-assembly polygonal art for decoration home, loft and office. This instructable will cover the basics of getting started with Pepakura Designer 3. I designed it in google sketch-up and 3D printed all of the digits myself. So hopefully whats taken me 2 years to learn I can teach you in about 20 minutes. The hardest part of the whole process was probably the Power Fist (the giant left hand). The costume stands roughly 7ft tall and requires that I walk on stilts. I have a full build thread located on the RPF forum here: an another on Obscurus Crusade here: And you can find it on facebook here: This was my first time working in foam and also my first time working on something so large. This is my second ever costume build and I have been working on it since March of 2013. It is a Crimson Fist and was completed just in time for Halloween this year. This is my Warhammer 40k Space Marine Costume.
