Re: Avengers: AOU - Iron Man Mark 43 - Speed build for Opening/Free Comic Book Day
Thanks! I use mostly hot glue with a bit of gel superglue for the really tight spaces.
I changed the scale of the abs by +15%. I am 6 ft. tall and about 215 lbs. so I am a bit larger than the default. I increased the chest by +25% and If I did it over I would do +15% and just add the material under the arms for "breathing room". Yeah, I know what you mean about pictures! I waited a bit on mine as well. If you are shooting for the premiere as well, you have your work cut out for you! Good Luck!
Speaking of pictures, here is a quick test with one forearm. I think I will do a flexible vs. hard joint to make it easier to take apart and allow more movement. More on that later!
Are you using hot glue or another type of adhesive? Very clean and impressive work! I'm even more impressed that it's a speed build!

How tall are you and do you know what the "scale by" sizing was that you used for your chest/abs? I have not started a new thread for it yet. was planning to get it started once I get the chest done. Figure it would be better to give everyone something to actually look at rather than just a few shoulder caps lol. I'm hoping to have mine finished for the movie premier so I am going to pretty tight on time since I just started mine a couple days ago. fingers crossed!
