I want to share a project that I'm working on. My friend and I are sculpting and constructing 2 Ironman life-size statues and 1 replica costume. We are going to do them in Styrofoam and then "hardcoat" them.
It should be a challenging but rewarding project.
I'm using the Kotobukiya IRON MAN MOVIE MARK IV ARTFX STATUE as our reference model.
We started the sculpting process Saturday. It was a great start! I wanted to ask some questions about the size. For the costume, I'm making it fit a 6'ft person, but for the statues I think they should be bigger. Is 6'5" big enough and is 7ft too big? (Plus the base) This is the figure alone.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
The core of the statue will be made of 2lb styrofoam. The hard coat will be strong and smooth like fiberglass after it's sanded and painted. I take more pics and post them tomorrow. I think I'm going to go with an 8" base and 6'6" statue. any thoughts?
