Hey, its me again. I finished my suit in time and had a great evening. Had to make some minor changes due to wearability but it turned out okay for a speedbuild and my first build ever :love. Just wanted to say thank you again. I took a Picture with my brothers smartphone, I hope I'll get some from the party itself.
Oh, and I won a dinner for two

I know JF said in the first post that all male suits are scaled to 6'
I'm 5'11', average propotional body size, so I didn't change anything.
I've just built the lower forarm (I didn't change the scale from 20.909091).
I'm not able to get my hand through it. I don't have big hands at all.
Could someone who is also ~6" tall, and didn't change the scale have any troubles with size? Did you make any scale adjustments?
Thanks a bunch
Edit:
this is my first build...so please bare with me
Is this one of the places someone would leave a seam open and use some velco to close it once it's on?

Recieved yesterday,
Sharpener multipurpose SANSON cristal - Precise and fine sharpening
A single and light pass, your blade slides between two tungsten slabs, it takes half a second, and then it cuts better than when it was new. :love
5 years guarantied.
It makes my life a thousand times easier. I don't know how I could do without for so long... :confused

I'm doing the Mk7 arms at the moment.
I can't seem to find a pep piece for the elbo joint. It shows in the 3d but I don't see it as part of the bicep file.
Is it missing...or am I missing something?
Maybe I'll freestyle something for it
Thanks again Darkside501 and JF for these files...too much fun!!!!!!

V-Groove cutter made by FoamWerks
Looks really slick for undercutting the hill folds. Has anyone ever used one?

Ok, so I know this post was from a looooong time ago, but I've started an Iron Man build and everything was going fine, all the pieces getting better every time I made one, until I got to the forearm and it didn't go together properly!
The back bit of it (near the elbow) is ok, but the front part (near the wrist) is a different diameter, and so it doesn't sit properly in the rear part for gluing. I've spotted in these pictures some webbing inside, so is that how you connected the two bits instead of gluing them? That would make things a lot simpler for me!
P.S. Here is how my arm looks at the minute. I can either have it towards the top or bottom if I attach it with glue, or if I use webbing I could make it "float" I guess

Yep, I have that thing. It works okay when you have long V-cuts to make. It works best with the corresponding ruler. But I wouldn't buy it again for the price they ask. You just won't use it that much. A sharp blade is much better. What I do recommend is the 45°/90° cutter from Foamwerks. That thing is awesome!
