Life sized battle droid build

[Cheeseballs]

I'm pretty sure this doesn't count as a costume, but whatever. I'll probably be making this out of foam and wood and whatever I can find.

some planning and rough templates:

I used scale factor on my (broken) black series battle droid to roughly determine the head size.

 

Pics of the head so far:

 

I'm basing this off of the Clone Wars season 7 and the Bad Batch since the realistic movie style is way too complicated.

cut out the eyes and added some details.

 

for these parts, I traced the side of the head onto the paper side of adhesive craft foam, stuck them on, trimmed them a bit, beveled the top part to make it more seamless, then cut the grooves and hit them with a heat gun to widen them. I cut some grooves going across the helmet too, but they're harder to see cause of all the sharpie lines.

 

I've already started filling the seams. more pics coming soon.
