| ~Calibrated to Perfection~ It's a modified version of XennonRays pepakura pattern http://xenonray.deviantart.com/art/Garrus-Papercraft-Download-263251654 Amalgamating as many pieces as possible, printing them out and cutting them out of horsebox EVA foam Then just going for it After four different versions of the pod section I had something workable (see video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9kO_JZGiPY) Man I wish I was neater -__- The wonderful mask was made by Adam Hurst :) The costume is also sponsored in part by http://www.elwirecraft.co.uk/ :) I also decided to make an M8 Avenger rifle (from nothing to full rifle in 3-4 days). I was going to make a sniper rifle too, I even patterned it out but there was nooo time to start it let alone finish it XD Hopefully I'll get this done, I may need some kind of guards at kita though ^^; | |
To-Do List
| Make some neater guns. Experiement with making collapsible guns | Medium | Planned |
| Completely fix the (now) damaged armour D:< (I think someone fell on it) | Medium | Planned |
| Make the bandage | Low | Planned |
| Paint the entire undersuit | Low | Planned |
| Find a better way of attaching the arm armour than velcro | Low | Planned |
| Change the angle of the eye scanner, every photo I've seen the scanner is at the wrong angle | Low | Planned |
Journal

Mythbusters sensibilities (Posted 6th February 2012) I decided to build a scale model of the armour to try and figure out where I was going wrong (I've been watching Mythbusters for years now, I should've realised I'm supposed to do scale testing *first* >.<). I think I've got it all figured out now and once the snow clears I'm going to get cracking of version 4. I'm definitely going to build the legs in scale first before I do anything with foam though!

WOO! =)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE finish this! xD
I'm dying to see a Garrus cosplay!
GARRUS! all my love! looking forward to seeing this
Garrus! Can't wait to see this :D
<3 Garrus!!! awesome! I hope to see you there and get piccys with you!
YES! I will probably ask for a hug or three, just a wee warning. xD
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES I WILL HUG YOU TO NO END MAN
Looking good! I wished I was around to Prance and harp about Piety to you dude! Looking sweet!
This is looking awesome :D
OMFG!!!! I can't wait to see this!!!
Looks amazing so far =)
Head Scuplt looks amazing, can't wait to see more progress!
LOOKING STUPIDLY GOOOD! I am glad I helped out with this! Garrus for Amecon? I wanna see you as Thane!
Can't make Amecon I'm afraid, Garrus is a serious drain on my bank balance. I can only really afford one con this year :(
EPIC PROGRESS XD
Something tells me you should have just morphed your face slightly because you really look like Garrus if he was human
This looks like it will be brilliant once completed. Keep up the good work.

Ahhhhhhh! The progress is amazing! <3 I'm so excited to see this finished. Once I finish Tali I'll have to nag you about which cons you'll be bringing Garrus to~ :3
How's Tali coming along anyway? :) You guys going to kita?
Oh gosh, I've barely done anything yet~ Still in the planning / gathering resources stage. The earliest I'll get her done is by Amecon sadly. X3
Alas I am not! ;A;
wow dude this is awesome
nice job XD
This looks incredible! :D Really impressive
Ahh this is looking better and better!! Keep at it! XD
Oh man. This excites me so much.
I'm pretty sure if I see this in person I will not be able to contain a squee.
Love that battle damage, the shaping of the armour looks so...hrm difficult, so its super impressive that you've got it so spot on!
I will make it my mission to see this at Kita. * u *
Vakkarian! YOU BEAST! YOU BEAST! I love this sooo much! Keep it up!
I'd post something nice here, but to be frank, I'm far too jealous of how awesome this is.
So there!
I can't even imagine working on something so polished. How are you making the armour? It looks spectacular.
...polished? You haven't seen it up close ^^;
It's made using the same method as the N7 suits I made, just bent foam and hope
This looks great ^___^ can't wait to see the whole thing
looks bloody fantastic so far!! ^_^ hope I can get piccys of you at kita
Words cannot express my approval <3 I cant WAIT to see this!!
LDLFKNDLFKNDLFKNDF OMG! I LOVE you for doing this! I badly want to cosplay him myself but could not do a job anywhere near as awesome as this!
Can't wait to see the finished costume...I will definitely be getting photos of this! Garrus is so damn awesome! *Fanboyspack*
seriously....wow...
I cannot wait to see this! the amount of detail is incredible..
The noise I just made was not even human. AMAZING cosplay *___*
AHHH so gutted I can't see this in person!! Seriously WOW
Amazing job =)
Wow! This is incredible. I'll look out for this at Kita!
Seen u at kita ! Your pics do not do this justice . The best cosplay I seen over the whole week end ! Well done mate
This was awesome mate. Cracking job!
Amazing. Absolutely incredible. The detail is stunning. But the picture of you and Thane in suits really takes it to the next level XD
Boss as fuck!
AH AMAZING!!!
Wow. All I can say is that you and your Shepherd were sound as fook, really amazing cosplays. It was really nice to chat to you guys for a bit before the masquerade (I was one of the grey trolls behind you in the lineup... the one in all the red leather) and Zomboi (Sufferer/black velvet cape dude) also says hi! :D Sorry we weren't more talkative, but we're both a bit shy and were in awe of your brilliant costumes. I think we may have met briefly at Aya '09 as well (we were the Silent Hill Nurses)? Anyway, hopefully get to have a proper chat another time. You guys were so cool. :)
Wooow, really impressive! Garrus was always my favourite in Mass Effect. I really love your cosplay <3
You really don't need another person telling you how completely amazing this is, BUT; this was completely amazing. I couldn't stop staring at you as we waited to queue up for the Masquerade. XDD;
Can't express just how amazing this was. Dude, you were fantastic!
Both costumes were amazing, really well done.
Thane: Garrus- It was a pleasure working with you. Perhaps again the Gods will smile on us and pray for fortune in battle to bring us together.
(On a side note: YOU SIR ARE AWESOME) *mashes Cosplay Showcase button to hell*
Wow! This is incredible! Great job ^-^
Best ever! My jaw literally dropped open when I first saw you! You did a ridiculously amazing job!!

Holy Crap Dude this is Amazing!
I particularly love how you done the battle damage on the armor, it looks really realistic, and I'm quite intrigued as to how you made the M8 Rifle :)
AMAZING!
Garrus 8D
Awesome constume >w<
It was amazing seeing this costume at kita! well done :)
The damage was just done with a dremel and the hope that I didn't ruin it or cut through the EL panels I'd already glued in XD
The rifle is made mainly from foam with a plasticard core so it isn't so bendy XD

I'm going to attempt to make a couple of neater rifles at some point XD
