Here's where I downloaded the patterns:

http://www.julianbeek.nl/blog/  (have to click through to "older entries" at the bottom to get the rear torso)

His sizing was a little weird to figure out at first, and it doesn't always work 100%. It's helpful to cut out a little extra length in some places, and remove it later if it's not needed. It's also vague in some places, leading me to having all sorts of sizing problems with the pauldrons. And it's irritating me that everyone in the N7 cosplay world refers to the vambraces as "gauntlets".

So far I've used one "black" mat, and 6 of the "charcoal" mats, but I haven't started on the legs yet. I'll probably end up using at least 4 or 5 more to do the legs, since I don't think I can fit more than one leg section on each.

how have I missed this!? :D

that's awesome Sir Edward!  It's looking pretty good.  If you have a problem, then I must have a disease! EVA foam sure can be fun.  I still can't believe what I'm using it for, and I just hope the LEDs don't melt it or anything lol.

Tonight I got started on the cuisses (nothing worth showing yet), and made some progress on the back details:

I spent most of the day yesterday working on the legs, and got the cuisses and greaves built and strapped, but not detailed, and I still need to add the knees. The strapping took forever, especially since I had to keep experimenting with them. And I'm still not happy with how two of the straps are sitting, so I may have to cut them off and re-do them.

So the main list of things left to do is:

Strapping the shoulders (cuirass and pauldrons)
Attach codpiece + abdominal plate
Waist strap
Details on back plates + collar
Details on cuisses
Details on greaves
Make the knees
Finish the finger details on the gloves

Still a lot to do. And only the next few evenings to do it in.

Somehow I picture Sir Wolf as the one causing the scene in line waiting for his morning coffee ... :)
