I definitely recommend a unitard, preferably a full body except for the head, your biggest challenge will probably finding one in grey. For the arm you could use a variety of methods, but I think that the easiest, most effective way would be to use a fiberglass shell. Here's how you'd make one: Ste...

I'm trying to figure out how to make the leg pieces for Protoman. Here's a reference pic: http://gamecheetz.com/Protoman.gif I'm going to have to make two pieces: one to cover my foot and one to go up to slightly above my knee.
