Description
The actual design of the quadsuit:[link]These weren't that hard to make, just used cardboard wrapped snug around my arm then ducktaped together along with strips to strengthen it and a flap at the end where the paw goes. I took a lot of my green foam scraps and stuffed them in there so I don't go all the way to the bottom of em.
The finished product (unfurred) [link]

oh thank you! :] its actually very cheap to do, all you need is hot gluegun/glue, ducktape and cardboard. The only problem for me is inside i have a ton of foam scraps and they don't offer much support -_-; my fingers hurt after 3 minutes of walking around. But the hinge paws look very nattual when I walk around. Not shown here, but I added supports to them. I will post the before and after photo when I fur the stilts :]

Awesome!!
I was thinking some kind of support glove for my hands; I do have foam scraps and can buy huge 2kg bags of 'em but I might figure something else out.
Before and after photos are win =] I'll check back!!

I just used the scraps I had from cutting out the paws n' stuff :] cheaper that way. But the glove thing is a good idea, I was thinking of getting some wood blocks and drilling handles into them then padding them up, but Idk, I havent decided what to do yet.
