    I might need help.
    So I am an experienced cosplayer who has made a few large props and some detailed recreations . Now with a great deal of effort I could approximate all the gunner dimensions to myself and cut and shape styrene together. But what I would really like to do is get a basic 3d model of the gunner that I can scale to my body in a program, called pepakura. It outputs
    Into printed sheets of any size with the folding instructions for how to make the paper craft version. I used this for a spartan helmet with great success.

    I'm aware of ways to rip models yourself .but don't have the knack for it.

    I Don't plan on making it out of paper. Most likely I would use styrene plastic sheeting with decals of the lines on. An awesome paint job. Probly Ice Men. My love for the gunner goes deep. And I want this to be the ultimate gunner cosplay.

    Any help or advice is appreciated

    Use cardboards and paint.

    I'm pretty sure I can make a Tank cosplay under 3 hours.

    Just give yourself a black face, put on a vest and go as the Assault.
    EDIT for the assault rifle, grab a long and skinny box and draw cogs and buttons on it with a Sharpie pen.

    No, your half black.

    You have no business calling yourself just "black".

    I'm brown but I'm pretty sure my skin is darker than your's.

    I would go with Pyre's suggestion and try to cardboard it.

    Goodluck.

    I usually use foam core. Its more rigid and clean when you cut it right. I also like styrene plastic sheeting. I have a huge tolerance to hot glue burns now. This model idea is just to help with the scale and fine details.

    Pitgirl and CG are the same clone, just retooled... o_0
    Also, pads :p


    Besides, there are a lot of people that pull off very good cosplay of characters they don't physically match up as
    Look at Rangiku from Bleach, you'd have to have J cups to match that chest o_O

    I wish this post was cosplaying as an assassin so that it would turn invisible.

    Eh, anything over a DD cup only looks good in a bra

    I hadn't thought of that, but it works :p

    This will require more padding than anticipated.

    Also, can't go as Sin as I talk too much and I'm not Black. So no GS D:
