Awesome work mate. Your foam work is excellent. I have a question for you if I may. How do you know what angle to cut the foam on when pieces go together. For example, the U shaped collar piece where it meets the rectangular chest plate. It looks like a 45degree angle or so but how do you find these angles? Is it just a matter of trial and error?.

Finally some more spartan size people 
also, the armor is not big, I would say armor for someone that size would probably be 1:1 scale for a spartan III
I happen to be 6'3.5 (and still growing) so ive had to upsize some stuff, and I believe we have a few members over 6'5

It looks FANTASTIC! I envy your skills. Just an idea, but someone mentioned the issue of hot glue coming out of the seams. I had that problem with my pep work and I found just taking the hot tip of your glue gun and melting it flat against the paper (or foam) worked great so that you don't have to worry about it later. Just an idea.
Honestly it is all in the eye. I sand down the edges just a little bit at a time. Sand, line up, sand again. Repeat til you have the angle you want. Once you get the hang of it you can do it almost at will. But the old saying. Measure twice, cut one applies here 100%.
OK so I have been really busy with life stuff. But I wanted to give everyone an update. So here it is. OK so I finished a knife. It looks good for a first run attempt. But I think I am going to redo it, and make it even better. As for the armor. I did that in about a day and a half. Had to take a break for m oldest daughter's 21 birthday today.

Looking good man, The knife turned out pretty good, Hows that foam build working for you, I think im going to try building that same chest your building in foam also, so im learning the process now
The foam build is actually better for me than regular pep. There are some pieces that I have to mod, but it makes it that much better. I also had to scale up the piece to 508mm in width. So some of the pieces are pretty large. But like I said. It is as easy as cutting and gluing.
