Been there as well with shin parts, looks great but they aint designed to have a hope of getting a foot through. Glad you found a good solution for it.
I've got to the point with scaling that I never just take my judgement from the numbers on screen. I've got into the habit to just tape a quick version together from the paper templates before it goes near foam. Saves me time (and foam) after parts scaled off entirely.
They were still useful (the miss-sized foam), used them for paint testing in the end.
It can be disheartening when it comes to that point and you realise the size is all off but it just makes it that much better once you get it right. And you now have more experience with working with it, how it all goes together etc, so that new version will just end up looking better anyway.
