Materials

First, ung mga materials.
Most of the tym, cardboard ang ginagamit dhil un ang pinaka simple, however maraming disadvantage kpag cardboard ang ginagamit. Such disadvantages include durability problems, detailing problems, and so on.

Ung material n rekomend ko ay ung rubber assisted foam n ginagamit sa mga tsinelas. Cost ay mga 280-300 php per roll ( mga 2 1/2 yards ). Kilala ang mga ito sa bandang marikina. Ok, medyo mahal at malayo ang pinaggalingan; pro meron akong alam n street sa divisoria n nagbebenta ng marami. Hanapin nyo lng ang juan luna st. ,malapit un sa tutuban mall.

About the adhesive, Rugby ang ginagamit ko, mura na, madali pang hanapin. durability of the adhesive depends on the amount of solvent applied.

-Wag lang kalimutan magsuot ng mask, coz believe me, ang weird ng feeling pag matagal ka sa paggamit ng rugby. :wacko:

Karamihan sa mga famous mech cosplayers ang gumamit n ng materials na ito. Take Gundam Girl for example.

I have some helpful sites that would be good for Mecha Construction:
eva_guy01 mecha tips and material locations
The use of Rigid Insolation Foam
Armor making tips

We are also looking for someone who has an experience in making mecha cosplay. I was wondering if you robertics15(or any one who has experience) could help us in making our mecha cosplay. For us the resources and manpower needed in making the suit is easy but the experience in making one is null.

Our target mech is this:

This is an RF Accretian lvl 47 launcher Armor. This cosplay will be presented during the LU Live Cosplay. Completing such a suit will be a very prestigious award. At the end you will be rewarded for your effort and time you spent in helping us complete the suit.

thx

ummm...illustration board ang pinaka basic na material sa mga mecha costumes, however, it has some problems when it comes to durability. madaling ma-warp ang illustration board whether forced ang pagka-yupi or due to weather conditions.
Hindi nman sa sinasabi ko n di okey ang illustration board pero best itong gamitin kpag tight ang budget at kpag single use lng ang mecha costume.

Sa paint nman, best kung gagamit k ng spray paint. recommend ko ung NOW spray paint. maganda kasi ung quality nya sa mga color schemes pag dating sa mga mecha. mahahanap ang mga ito sa mga ACE hardware branches sa SM.

Kung gusto nyo ng mech costume n pauli-ulit, gumamit kayo ng foam rubber. un ung mga ginagamit sa tsinelas. ok, medyo mahal ang material pero its worth it ,ksi aabot kau ng mga 4 to 7 conventions gamit ng rubber costume. sabi ng marami sa /marikina lng daw makakbili, pero nakukuha ko ang mga supply ko sa bandang Rizal avenue. Eto ung address kung interested kau maghanap: Ping Ping Shoe Supply, 1619 Rizal Ave. Ext., Grace Park, Caloocan City.

saori = you can use rubber kunfg may pera ka!, or you can use old carton boxes un nga lang ayusin mo sa pag pintura!

robertics = ive ask eva guy about sa MECHA CON...i think kung pwede akong makipag usap sa mga organizers dun kung kelangan nila ng mga gundam model (cosplayers)
for that event...
