Foam MK VII x MS-06 Zaku II

[Crows Carrion]

So I was perusing the forums looking for inspiration for my next build and my mind started to wander right into thinking about Gundam, the two ideas naturally combined as one of the MCC seasons or maybe just the exchange, had gundam-esque armor so I did some digging and found this image by posted by reddit user Slakolov.

The helmet being used is reach CQC with a smart use of the Up-Armor attachment for the mono-eye
I then went through process of finding a Zaku that I could unfold into templates for foam and found this Zaku model that has the waist as multiple separate pieces as well as the spiked shoulder. I then custom made the shield as I wanted one that was more angular
After all that I went to town unfolding them, the spiked shoulder was the absolute worst one to unfold because of it's curves but it got done.
Here's the pieces.

I will be free handing the Heat Hawk

The rest is just the Mk VII, also may or may not make some cat ears for the helmet. No set deadline for this just when or if I can.

Small update I've used a small forests worth of paper for all the parts.

Looking at the pieces, the thighs, chest and shins might be to big so i'll have to resize them when I get the time. The reason I'm using cardstock dividers is because I don't have a printer, I also have to scale by eye because i don't have Armorsmith so any scaling mistakes can only be seen when I have fully cut the pieces out, so that's fun. Other than that things are going smooth see you at the next one!.

Ayy small update haven't gotten to foam working yet, I don't have much on hand, but I have started on the weapon I'm trying to make a combination between the Spnkr and the standard Zaku missile launcher, it does not look good at all but it could look somewhat decent who knows. \_o_/ I'll try to get progress pics when I can, schools ending here soon so I'll get more time to work pretty soon.
