As an individual whose made a Godzilla suit before here:[ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJOgMBwoVlI ] I can say that your main ingrediants for any good monster suit will be foam rubber (the green kind from Joanne's Fabric or Michaels) 2", 1", and 1/2" thicknesses, HX-200 Casting Latex from Holdens Latex (visit here [ http://holdenslatex.com/ ]), Cement glue, and the (latex based) color paint you need from any hardware store. First draw out how you plan the design to look, get your sons and whoever else is participating measurements, cut sections of the foam out and glue them together using the cement glue and t-pins on the lining ends so they form the shape of the section. When you've completed all sections, glue and t-pin them so it forms the base of the body. (make sure you do this in a "ventilated area" as the fumes of both cement glue and raw latex can be harmful. Use breathing protection too). Once the base is complete, take some 100% cotton sheeting and cement glue that over the whole surface. This will strengthen and lengthen the suits lifetime and durability. Also see if you can get a scuba diving strength zipper to sew onto the cotton sheeting ends where the opening in the back of the suit should go. After that, try to cut a whole bunch of scales or other body aspects from the foam rubber to detail over the base/sheeting again with cement glue and t-pins. Depending on if you want to have a moving mouth or not, you may have to construct the mouth with a wooden frame and install electric servos to move the mouth by remote control. I can have my friend Jacob come on here and explain that and anything else he can elaborate on what I've said so far. After you've thrown all the detail you want, its time to mix your HX-200 Latex with the colored paint you desire. It doesn't take a whole lot of paint to color latex, so you may want to consider getting "sample bottles" of the color to save money as those should be enough. Start with a small bucket and add and mix as necessary. You'll need "at least" 5 coats of latex painted over the surface. Thats basically how I made my suit. I wish the best for you and your son here and he will be in my prayers that will get his wish here. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Five year old Maddex has Leukemia and fights everyday to stay well with a positive attitude. Let's all help make his wish come true. Everything in his room has Godzilla on it, Maddex talks all day about Godzilla. I cried when I gave him a small plasic figure of Godzilla because it made him so happy. Please pass this around to make this possible for him. This would be so awesome for him.
Its wonderful to see all these people supporting you, I hope it goes very very well for Maddex

I use to work for a Make a Wish foundation for 4 years and I understand the process and difficulties you are going through.
Below you will find a remake to the original 1954 theme that I did. Feel free to use it if you think it will help.

The little guy should be allowed to see a special screening of the new Godzilla prepared just for him and his loved ones.
Hope everthing goes well and he recovers soon. Best wishes for you Maddex.
Hello Tony and Maddex,
My name is Jeff and I've got a couple of Kaiju suits on Youtube if you would like to check them out. The name to search under would be Jeff Magnussen. I am also on Facebook under Jeff Magnussen. One of the suits I created that you can watch on YT is Godzilla 2000 and the other is Kiryu(MechaGodzilla 3).
My MechaGodzilla suit and I had the opportunity to act and star on 30 Rock 4 years ago on an episode called Chain Reaction of Mental Anguish. I see there are other offers to build a suit for Maddex. Please let me know if you would be interested in a build I would love to help young Maddex's wish come true. Praying for all of you :)
I hope only the absolute best for Maddex! I've lost friends and family to this disease, I know how hard this must be for you!
I hope Maddex gets to be one of the coolest Godzilla's ever!
Best wishes!
@lyuztaven, I totaly agree he should be aloud to see a special screaning of it.
RESPECT THE GOLDEN MIRU
Beyond thrilled to know that this was a success! :) Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word.
