I dont understand why people insist on using cardboard and odd materials when you have pepakura models. I made a predator costume last year, completely from scratch. Had to cut the mask out of clay, silicone mold it, resin it, cut out a spandex bodysuit, paint it, craft weapons and everything - it was a pain in the ass - and it still looked like crap. Then I found pepakura on here, which any retarded ape could do - its an extremely valuable tool and makes a nearly flawless MC costume. Use it. But thats just my 2 cents.
