It is fully articulated and I am extremely proud of it. Its a pretty easy way to get a general shape for a physical model. The pattern is printed on cardstock and cut out, folded and glued together. If youre not familiar with pepakura it allows you to take a 3D model and essentially fold it out flat into a paper pattern. I designed it in google sketch-up and 3D printed all of the digits myself. The base of this helmet uses a pepakura folded paper model. 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.
