LoL I'm not intending to hijack your thread just a few pics when some of the layers are done.
And if you don't mind I would like to do your helmet the same way.
For greater accuracy.

What kind of CNC are you running? I have a 3 axis AXYZ router table 51" x 100" bed that I cut my foam on 2D. 5 AXIS would be the BOMB for true 3D

Looks good so far! How heavy do you think the cannon is in foam? Good luck with your build :thumbsup

its surprising light, now im thinking how to build the arm.

Here's a cannon arm I put together that eliminates most of the rotary parts that would drag out a build. It's got limited mobility but would be very stable. Just a thought-

Anyone else doing this in paper and fiberglass? Not foam?..it would also be good of everyone that's doing it to post their scales and height to kinda get an idea for those that need the help..just saying....

Yes, and that's a good idea. I'm a little over 6'2, and scaled the torso sections and neck at 393.5. I had expected to use a larger scale on the thighs and shins, but to keep my dimensions consistent I pepped these in 393.5 scale as well. I won't resin until I finish out the limbs to make sure they work together well (I use 110# card stock).
One part of the suit that you want to watch is the lower torso. I fit in mine, but I have a 33" waist.

that's what i was looking for I'm 6'1"and about same waist so it a great starter for me..thanks..laelle..ill post my scales as soon as i start printing..but i was curious maybe it was brought up before I probably missed it but is the scale different in foam and paper?

As requested, here's a pic of my pepped suit hanging out of the way for now. It's just loosely mashed together here, but I have checked the fit between pieces and it looks good. Plan is to put temporary bulkheads in the pieces to maintain the correct shape, then resin the outsides of each leg assembly and the upper/lower torso/hips/neck assembly to make sure the joints all match up and work smoothly before reinforcing with full fiberglass. Jackie's modeling looks great in paper. And yes, that is a HUGE optimus prime off the edge of the pic lol.

The inside of the bidep

These are added "hinges" to the bottom of the bicep that will connect to the forearm. They are not necessary to the build, so if you want to use your own hinges or dont want to use any, you just dont have to pep these at all

More updates soon!

Thanks Jackie... I like the hinges too, otherwise I'd have to fab something temporary for the joint while reinforcing. Sweet!
