Hi everyone, I'm starting out on my first foam iron man build. Hoping to use the speed build files by JFcustom. I've been doing loads of reading the last few days and had some questions I wanted help with if that's ok
Does anyone building the foam suits harden the cod piece or anything? Just thinking about being able to sit down while I'm out and about
in terms of foam thickness, i'm using 6mm plastazote for the majority of the parts and then 4mm for the thinner parts - I read up and this seemed to be a good thickness to use
The part i'm having the most difficulty with is the scaling. I've followed the guides on here but am still stuck
I'm 5'8" - but I'll be wearing shoe lifts to add three inches lol. Do i need to scale the suit for my height or 5'11"?
My biggest concern is to not end up with a bobble head look so any help in scaling would help.
Also if there are different templates than jfcustoms that people have been using, could you give me a link so I can check them out?
Thanks everyone
