new member, need help with scaling first WM foam build

[nik2304]

Hey guys, I accidentally came across this site a week ago looking up how to build war machine suit. This is my first time attempting anything like this. So far this site has been more than helpful, lots of good information! You guys are great.

I am using Juice's war machine foam template files which have the default scale. So far the helmet is almost done, and it is way to tight on me lol.

So I am seeking some professional help from you guys to scale the templates.

I am 5'8 130lbs, average person. I am not in a rush to do this, but I also do not want to waste time and money buying foam because something was out of proportion. Are there any scaled templates available?

So if anyone has some advise I will gladly take it, I am here to learn!

use google to help you with this instead of mm use cm for the hight im 5'3'' and i scale mine to around 167 hight and it works good for me so maybe that will help :confused

So basically since I am 68" which is 172.72 centimeters, I would scale the armor to 173 height?

Does the designer scale all other proportions based on height? Do i need to measure how wide my head, shoulders and ect. ?
