Hi everyone, im new here. I have always loved the Guyver and when I saw someone make their own suit back in the early 90's

I had to make my own too! I just finished building the rough version this spring. I will be doing a lot of modifications to it, so its right.

I was supposed to meet David Hayter, the whole purpose of getting it done this year. Well, he never showed

So instead, I have entered it in a contest and I need votes to beat out some tough competition.

Can I count on some Guyver fans to help me out?

You can vote every 24 hours from your computer, phone, tablet or other browser device. each one counts as a vote!

comments? replies? acknowledgement of votes?

give it time, the forum is not heaving with people

I personally have a hard time commenting on these things as I can be too focused on the fine details and I don't want to disrespect what is obviously a labour of love and require a high degree of skill.

plus I'm really tired and will probably give a better reply tomorrow.

very nice, already gave my vote, best of luck dude. care to share how you made the costume? I'm also interested on doing one if I get the time.

Dude! Just saw this! Love it!

Is that pvc? Resin? It kinda looks like polystyrene, but not sure.

I love how you've got the tendrils. It'll look great when you add the rest of them in. I can't wait to see this bad boy finished. You've just entered a new level of cool. I await more pic. Please find some great environments to take pics in

its made by hand out of EVA foam. cut and glues together. it has to be one of the hardest things ive built. im used to square and sharp things

i wont be doing any of the extra muscle fiber on it. it gets very hot, the foam is like insulation and traps body heat in. so everything that needs to be open to release heat is.

remember the guy in the movie suit, only wore it for a few minutes at a time. i wear this for 4-8 hours straight.

thanks guys. much appreciated.

Voted!

Nice one dude is that lighting in the megasmasher?

can't wait to see it done, especially painted. I'm sure that will really pull it all together.

yes. i have strobes in the smasher and eyes.

the suit is done. the only thing that im doing is reworking the head for the proper orbs with lights in the control and fixing the shoulders and boots.

on camera the paint doesnt look right. i actually did color matched the paint.

here is a close up of the head. eyes have lights and covers. but the CM is only chrome

any more votes guys?

I voted. Looks good for what I'm guessing is your first prototype.

yes, first build. there will be another.

it's an excellent piece of work. the general proportions are great. the lower legs have a good amount of 'heft' to them and the shoulders are a great size.

I tried to vote but i am not sure if the site was working properly.

well if the site worked, my vote went through. otherwise, not much i can do!

the site has started to get buggy.

i think im going to use thicker material next time to get more size out of it. but i think the shoulders should be smaller.

Great work! It's nice to see people make more and more Guyver costumes.

I've come back to take a look at the costume and I disagree! I'm with Ryuki on the shoulders. I think maybe you should focus more on rounding them off? At the moment your whole costume has more of an anime version of Guyver feel. if you were to reduce their size it would become a little more like the movies. That's not a bad thing, but you already have a whole suit that already looks like the anime version.

ok, remeber this was a rush build. and making things that are pound is very hard to do, specially with some materials.

and it is supposed to be the anime version, not the movie.

Wow, I can't believe I missed this. Nice costume. You actually beat me to doing one for myself. I was actually planning to creating a Gigantic costume, but time constraints prevented me from doing so. But still, it's nice to see someone actually done it. Although there has been others who've been doing Guyver Customes, I have to say that this one is one of the better costumes that I've seen.

i only know of 4 others. a friend made G1 and G3. someone made the female one and a guy in asia made a G1.

i have another friend that is making a amazing G3 right now, but he is far from finished.

thanks for all the comments and stuff.

can you please vote for me? you can do it every 24 hours. i want to beat ironman!

How many vote does this Ironman cause you're killing the Anime/Manga competition.

he has over 1100

You'll have to beat the transforming bumblebee first to beat the iron man. I think those are the only two who has votes that are in the thousand. We got your back. But there's only so much some of us can do.

i voted again today. it would be pretty cool to have guyver win it.

Well, I voted 3 times since I have internet access from 3 different locations. (one at office, one at home and one from my mobile )

thanks guys.

bumblebee is actually in the kids division, so i dont have to worry about him.
