The foam that has been popular recently, the EVA you can find at walmart and amazon.com etc.

Youll need 3d models to make the pep files for it, unless you are just good at scratch building. The foam will be good for the armor, I would use something more sturdy for the headgear and rifle. Like the pep+resin+rondo method.

You can even light it up with blue LEDs if youre crafty!
