So I am building an iron man suit(My first one) I search and didnt find too many results. I wanted to know how you fit the suit panels on your body. I have seem rare earth magnets for the helmet. Do you cut every body part and attach with magnets or is there other solutions like for the thighs calfs etc. Thank you for the help.

most can apply. If anything, you'll need a more extra strength adhesive. The concepts are simple though. You can always expand and try different things using the concept.
