Hi all!
I'm Michael, a 19-year old student currently finishing a gap year. I was a lurker on the forum a few years ago, but I've decided to really make an effort towards creating my first set of armour.
I decided to start with a Carter costume, because he was my favourite Spartan of Noble team (in terms of armour and character - most badassinest way to die evarr).
Anyway, my first piece is the HD left upper arm.

EDIT: not sure how to get photos to appear in-thread!
I used Halogoddess' method of scaling. My first attempt was WAY too small - it barely fit over my elbow. This is the second attempt, which I'm worried is too big (the first was 165ish in height, the second 219). Could anyone judge for me and tell me whether it just looks big because I don't have the rest of the armour made yet, or whether it genuinely is too large.
Thanks for reading! As I said, pretty much a total noob here, so comments and criticisms are much appreciated.
