How Do You Get Inside Your Iron Man Suit?

[TheDosher]

I am stuck at some point while building my Mark IV. How do you get inside the lower body part of the armor?



I am talking about these 2 parts. I am trying to harden those pieces but due to some limitations I can't make them incredible solid. I tried to find a way by looking at already created costumes but I couldn't figure out how they do it.

I will be glad if anyone can give me an idea.
Thanks!

I believe the most common way for the cod piece is have it split down the sides so you have a front and back piece than can be attached with buckles or other mechanical locks. For the abs, you can make the front ab section separate from the lower torso. The lower torso can be hinged on the spine so it opens up like a clamp.
