Odin Makes: Feet for the RX-78-2 Gundam cosplay

[@Wanton110]

How to build Gundam Feet.. Step 1 - Build cruise liners Step 2 - Add detail Step 3 - Gundam

[@BALES5000]

A method for anchoring the shoes: Glue sections of wooden dowels into the holes you used for the alignment PVC [drill another further back towards the heel if necessary]. You can then use those for an anchor point and screw the shoes into the them. You might be able to pull out the insole first so as to bury the screw heads for comfort. After having shoe attachments come loose in two costumes, I always find a place for a mechanical fastener in addition to adhesive.

[@sirenofthesea7802]

That's a really great idea!

[@alexgolubski]

this is exactly what i was thinking!

[@OdinMakes]

That will probably happen!

1:18 its so cute that you can tell that hes genuinely excited that he found a new type of foam

[@androyus]

"a new type of foam" I see what you did there ;)

[@GarageKnight]

09:38 that's the best feeling while building stuff, succeeding in something without even trying :)

[@artsy_dragon_creations]

I never realized how big Gundam feet are compared to the body. Such complex and huge pieces seem like they’d be super difficult to manage. Props to you Odin. Can’t wait to see the legs done and see how it all looks together

[@makilomugdang9237]

8:30 i love the way he used one of his creations....Everything Has A Purpose not only for show

[@sakibeer1991]

Three years ago I requested the zero suit Samus blaster pistol. Now seeing a Gundam cosplay build is amazing. Keep being creative Odin you rock.

[@MonkeMan003]

I absolutely love how enthusiastic about his projects odin is😂

[@Justrex01]

Loved this. Your passion for your art is amazing. Can't wait to see Joe in the complete suit. Should be awesome and fun to watch!

[@harazhangf5782]

4:10 I love that laugh. As usual awesome build.

[@d-rockpain4250]

nylon strap w/velcro over the toe of shoes and cemented between foam layers. 10% chance of contact adhesive holding up through a whole con. You could take bets as a side gig LOL. People love to gamble on anything!!!!!!

[@zoidiect]

not only it is an accurate RG design, but the proportions are adjusted into actual human proportions, probably the best part of the build (many MS cosplays disregard this and looking very awkward) cool approach for the feet, human has thin feet, pretty neat to have that only accounts for the ankle joint of the MS

[@danieldeininger9732]

The outtakes get better and better with each episode. Random thought: video of the best/funniest outtakes thus far. 10/10 would watch.

[@Raganui]

Every one of these makes me want to see the final product even more. It's going to be awesome to see him actually try to walk around in the full kit.

[@beckymurphy4714]

Ooh, this is a good option to add height for a Witch King costume! Much better than trying to rig a shoulder harness to have the head & shoulders higher.

[@peterjozsef448]

This series is really getting funnier, sicker and better!

[@durp0012]

Another material I have been using myself to raise the feet is that pink or blue insulation foam stacked like you did. It is super light and once stacked its super strong holding weight. Seems to have worked for me so far. also put 3 long bolts down through the bottom of the shoes down into a thin piece of wood through the foam to hold them in place. Great job!

[@Ohio_etsu-masu]

even tho i don't care for gundam, the way this series is spread out with other "normal" videos in between makes it very easy to relate and watch.

[@MrTheMighty]

Solid foam! I honestly never would have thought of that, but that's a terrific idea. Ever closer to full Gundam!

[@EricWilliams-ms3ro]

This is turning out really well. Can't wait to see the finished result. You rock Odin!

[@elxr9434]

You should make an Optimus prime cosplay (or just the arms with deployable hooks)

[@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347]

Transformers Animated deserves a 4th season

[@KingJake-om7yq]

Lean Mean Green Bean Machine if you mean G1, it did. China made a fourth season with new actors. It has been dubbed into English, so you don’t need subtitles.

[@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347]

KingJake2511 no I meant the one from the 00’s

[@jacobaobert]

episodes where i learn of a new tool or material are my favorite. i haven't been this pumped to try a new easily-obtainable material since the Spinal Tap build.

[@enduringstone]

I saw GWAR in concert once in college, circa 2010. Love to hear more about your work with them sometime.

[@OdinMakes]

I saw many concerts with GWAR, 1995-2005. Great shows! I didn't work with them, just cosplay! One Halloween contest we went to had L7 playing, who had toured with GWAR- they acknowledged us, and pointed us out during their set while they were on stage! Very fun.

[@enduringstone]

Odin Makes hell yeah!! Loving this Gundam build btw. Keep up the good work.

[@jmanjonesthezombiekillinma6839]

Odin you've done it again you are a Gundam building master. Joe is lucky to have a foam master like you constructing his Gundam Cosplay. the feet look awesome and I can understand, Legs and feet would be difficult to do a whole video on. One at a time is the best way. stay safe and keep crafty my friend. Odin you're a great mentor. and this is how Odin Makes, I love your slogan. when I build with cardboard and than show my pals I always says, Cardboard is Free and for Jman it's a Breeze. Props to you Odin the Foam Master P.S you make Panel Lines look easy.

[@swaswa1]

Well with how you said that the heel is what usually gave out I would say cut a small Channel underneath where the shoe is use a lot of glue and maybe even some epoxy and a decent piece of plywood and a washer or three with some foam padding on top of it after a decently long and properly tooth screw is put in and you can have some foam in between the shoe section and the wood plate.

[@aprilblackregentart6647]

Wow, you weren’t kidding when you mentioned the shoes could be it’s own video. That’s incredible!!

[@brent1975]

Thank you for this build. I made a Thanos suit build a few years ago and used wood to add the height. I never liked how it came out. Now I will go back and use this method to fix it.

[@uncletatscreativeshack1702]

I just love these videos!! Your narration and filming are great! I REALLY can’t wait for the finished product !!

[@lazarostheodorou6885]

Hey odin, for extra stability on the legs, try to reinforce them by screwing in screws that go through the shoe and into the foam. Now if it is a bit uncomfortable to walk to walk like that, just put some padding to cover it up. Pretty sure it will not break at all like that

[@techyhiltz]

Just an idea for making the feet walk similar to normal walking is taking inspiration from speed skating skates. They have the blade attached on a hinge by the toe, so maybe if the shoes were attached similarly then maybe Joe could walk a little more comfortably. Plus it might add a better contact point for the shoes.

[@ChozoSR388]

Oh, man, I can't wait to see the whole suit completed! It's already epic, but it's gonna be Legendary once it's finished!

[@dawidscheffler7152]

Adding velcro straps to lock the shoes into place over the top should take a lot of stress off the contact cement and help it stick around for longer. Should also make the lifts easier to walk with. (think REALLY BIG sandals :P)

[@B0redom13]

It would be hilarious to watch some crazy gunpla youtuber run in and panel line this thing to perfection

[@maxcooper6554]

I wait with baited breath for every episode of this G-Build! Keep it up Odin!

[@jaredchapman848]

I think that basic black slip on shoes with memory foam inserts would be more comfortable as well as he an easier process to put on accompanied by black fabric to hide them would be better.

[@heisenbat]

Can't wait for this to be completed. Most excited for the iconic EFSF shield, beam rifle and beam sabers. Please continue being awesome Odin! :)

[@jeffreyang9647]

Add long screws inside the shoe to the foam or velcro strap from the gundam foot to shoe

[@kerricaine]

i did similar style stilts before. instead of just gluing shoes to the bottom, because i was worried that wouldn't be strong enough, i instead used snowboard boot clamps as my base. they already had screwholes in the bottom, which easily allowed me to attach them to the frame. then i just built up the armor around the leg to cover up the boot. it wasn't the easiest thing to get in and out of, but it was sturdy!

[@OdinMakes]

This is one solution I was considering

[@miztv6390]

Ого, я и не думал, что эта часть костюма, может быть такая масштабная. Один меня удивил. Отличная работа, спасибо за видео.

[@rjr_productions]

Nice vid Odin!

[@chronicleprops7947]

I would use some screws that would go in to the foam and in to the pipe in some way to keep the shoes on

[@quietone610]

The only pair of stilts I've seen for professionals, used bolts through the shoe soles (into metal plates--Aluminum, I think). The shin straps were fabric. Maybe running fabric straps between the lowest and second-lowest foam layer, with velcro, then up through the rest of the layers to capture the shoe top, would tie down the shoe. But you'd need a tear-down to change your build to do that. Counter-sinking metal bolts would screw into the foam (or you could get inserts for it), and you only need one or two--drill straight down through the top of the shoe. If you're so inclined.

[@quietone610]

They walk kinda like roller skates...

[@OdinMakes]

they do

[@kosmonautdan6715]

Gwar? He's a man of TASTE and CULTURE!

[@BenjiSun]

[@sandman1463]

I gotta say I’m super excited for the legs

[@jacobaobert]

to get better traction, you could cut up some car floor mats and make some giant cleats. those office chair matts with the spiky texture underneith could work too.

[@cryuos]

I'm really excited on how the weapons will turn out

[@JamesDeanLP]

Do you plan on doing any more full costume builds? A dark knight suit or iron man would be really cool

[@MrFTW]

They are so massive! Could you just unlace the shoes, pull up the tongue, remove the insert and use wood screws through the sole into the foam to help keep them permanently anchored?

[@kitterllsingleton9936]

This was the coolest build yet 💯💯👍🏽👍🏽

[@anthemm6652]

Yay new build!!

[@subscriber-il3cz]

Wouldn't putting a long screw that goes all the way through the shoes into the foam feet work as well. Provided of course that you cover the screw's head with some more foam or something.

[@dethkruzer]

I imagine you could probably put a screw through where the arch of the foot goes. But I'm not sure how well foam would be able to hold onto a screw, especially under repeated stress from walking. If I had that level of tools and resources, I would probably have embedded a piece of plywood between the top two layers of foam, and then have the screws go through that.

[@cipherreese8877]

After seeing this, it’d be cool to see you make Shadow’s hover shoes from the Sonic series. They even have a similar shape to these.

[@axeldaval3410]

@@OdinMakes was thinking of making hulk feet the same way. I thought about some kind of bunge anchored in the foam bottom snaked threw the top and attached to my calf on the back and gluing the shoe toes only so I can rock up on the balls of my feet but the bungee acts like a tendon. Thought?
