My wife and I have made a goal of getting to SDCC next year, and we've decided to go as characters from the Ultraman series over any comic book character or video game character.
In addition to getting in shape and everything, I really want to figure out how I'm going to build my costume as either the Original Ultraman

I want to ask a couple of questions about the costumes before I really get into the building and everything. I know that in both shows, and the entire series (minus Ultraman Great) wore rubber suits with zippers down the back and a plastic helmet of some kind. I'm reasonable certain that I can build the helmet, give that I am able to find the files for pepakura. Is there reasonable alternative to the full rubber suit that I could use and paint on or something?
Also, if someone has the files to either of the helmets, could you post them, I haven't been able to find any of them.
