Zaku Mecha Helmet Tutorialby ~eva-guy01

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Other

Step by step tutorial on how to make your own Zaku mecha helmet out of craft foam (or rubber sheet in some regions). Be sure you follow it based on the size of the head you plan to have it worn on. This is very basic so feel free to improve on it in terms of designs, gimiks and colors.

Drawn in vector via CorelDraw.

FAQ's
What is a Zaku? [link]

This a great help eva-guy thanks. I'm trying to build a Gouf costume, can you give me some pointers on what to use for the body and how to put it on? Thanks.

It may take a while to illustrate you some tips, but if you have facebook, you could view this free tutorial from Clive Lee, the "Gundam Guy" cosplayer of Singapore. You can check his deviantart: [link]

Its pretty complete costume guide in building a Gundam costume, it could help you build your Gouf since its pretty squarish. Good luck!

this is great, one question, if I dome the peice over the top wont the mid edges kinda bubble?

~eva-guy01 Aug 22, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

It would if the lower piece is significantly smaller. And if it cant be helped and large gaps appear, you can cover it using melted glue stick and a glue gun before painting a primer latex paint.

a question.. can you help me with something?

the something.... how do i draw the eye shapes? symmetrically.? because i've been wanting to make those shapes of my OC armors.. ^___^. please and thank you~

~eva-guy01 Jun 4, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

You can do a "cheat". Attach the rectangle (the top curve of your crown) and the longer rectangle circling your face. Then trace the empty space where the eye-shapes are supposed to be with a pencil on a flat sheet and simply polish the trace into a good eye-shape. Then make two of them.
