Hey guys,
Well I know that this is long overdue, but its better late than never I guess. Here is how I made my Greywolf Quadsuit. It took 8 months to design, gather supplies, put together, etc. and I did have some helping hands because there were some things I never handled before (such as power tools). Anyways, here's a list of supplies that I gathered to make my Greywolf Quadsuit:
-Pink Insulation Foam
-PVC Pipes (4",3", 1/2")
-Carriage Bolts & Screws
-Battery Powered Christmas Lights LED
-Wires & Switches
-Upholstery Foam (Green Foam)
-Faux Fur (White Luxury Shag & Fabu Light Grey)
-Liquid Latex (Mold Builder)
-Plaster (Plaster of Paris)
-Sculpey
-Acrylic Paint (White, Grey, Pink, etc.)
-Swimwear Netting
The estimation costs of making Greywolf comes to: $500 (maybe more). Making fursuits/quadsuits is expensive and is time consuming. I know that there are quite a few of you out there that want to make your own costume. Here's one thing that you need to keep in mind: "Commitment."
Making a fursuit/quadsuit takes a lot of time, patience, & commitment (it's not always easy) and here's one piece of advice I have for any of you that are beginners: make the simplest character possible (like one color).
The more colors you use, the longer it'll take to put your costume together. Anyways, here are a few users that made tutorial (how to) videos or the works of their projects:

Watching their videos has helped me make Greywolf. My experiences with my Greywolf Quadsuit was something. The first time I wore him, it was hot (Rose City Comic Con's AC was broken and I didn't even know). My first lesson was to limit myself in the quadsuit and I actually went over that limit at the convention (2 hours walking around in Greywolf in a hot building). I should have taken Greywolf off when I was really hot and sweating because I almost passed out (even though I was drinking water). So in my opinion, it's probably not a good idea to cosplay in a fursuit/quadsuit during the Summer season.
Now about the PVC Pipe stilts, they are lighter than wooden stilts, but the problem is that they don't let me roam around much (this is a problem for me and other people that have long legs and short torsos). So wooden stilts are probably best to use instead of PVC pipes (and probably less work).
Anyways, I hope this helps any of you who are making fursuits/quadsuits. Good luck with your projects. I'm not sure when my next one is, but I'll announce it when the time comes.
