So, before I can begin to cut the parts out, I need to know one thing, and maybe several other things.
Okay, I need to know if anyone able and willing to assist me in my construction lives nearby. If you live in the State College or Altoona area, let me know. I will definitely need help with all the steps as this is my first suit.
Now the fun begins! (Not really)
What I'm planning to do is the full-on Felix cosplay, armor and all, but with my own personal flare.
What I mean by "Personal Flare" is things that I believe would be a nice mix with Felix's personality and my sense of style and sense for aesthetics.
Therefore, I plan to add a cloak to Felix's apparel. For those of you not in the know, a cloak is not just a hood and cape, it is any kind of fabric that is bound to a person via their neck and/ or shoulders. What I plan to do is have a cloak with a design I will create for Felix, unless he decides to make one that is canon.
Here's the priority list. With one (1) being an immediate need.

Now the deadline I have in mind is by May of 2016, in time for Sci Fi Valley Con so I can chill with some of my 405th buddies.
Below is a table consisting of what I need built and have done.
Done | Not Done |

I would like to keep a full range of movement. As in, jumping, sprinting, sitting, etc. etc.
This thread will be open to updates and image adding as we progress in the steps
