Re: Iron man mark 7 mk VII foam build

I'm trying to get started on doing this as well, but I'm having trouble with the scaling. Any suggestions on how to scale everything consistently? I know how to adjust the size of pieces individually, but I'm just scared of changing things and then having, say, my bicep piece not match my forearm piece.
I'm 5' 8" and about 135 lbs.

Thanks for any help.
