So this was the image I used for the template for my build. I printed out the major pieces and cut them out for my different parts.
I started with the legs. I decided I didn't want to be too tall, so I cut down the length between the foot rest and the bottom of the leg.

I decided to use a mixture of Luann, foam board, and EVA foam for my construction to try and keep the weight down as much as I could.
Here is the start of the legs.

For the foot I used an idea from instructables
https://www.instructables.com/id/Aliens-Powerloader-Halloween-Costume-1/I bought some ice cube trays from target to give myself the lift I wanted and then used some 1 X 6 s to give myself plenty of stability.
I ran a threaded rod the length of the 1 X 6s to lock all the pieces together tight.
