What have you downsized it to? Mine should be about 998mm, but from the ruler yours looks about the same. That's the official size, so I'm not sure what "human sized" is.
I had a similar question but didn't want to post last night given how tired i was, running the risk of missing something obvious haha. But looking again, that seems like its just a 6 inch ruler, which would mean this is really downsized. Am I way off the mark? I only took mine down to about 910mm for my average build and found that seems to be the sweet spot; still menacing without dwarfing me.
Cyberdemon35,
I harden cardboard with a mixture of well-catalyzed fiberglass resin and about 20% acetone. Resin really won't set until acetone fumes off. The acetone helps the resin penetrate the fibers rather than just sit on top. Don't overcoat it. Excess resin doesn't add any strength and ruins your details. The resin is a lot harder to sand down than Bondo or spot putty so don't let it pool on the surface of the cardboard.
I use Bondo to fill in the edges and surfaces in my cardboard work. If you can afford the featherweight aircraft Bondo, it is a lot easier to sand.
thanks Redshirt and RobTC I still want to put some more detail on it first, but any tips for finding acetone I have never heard of it. edit never mind its just spelled differently then I say it,
Should be able to get square cans of it in Home Depot for about $8. Check the paint section, with the laquer thinner, denatured alcohol, all that stuff. Next to the glues.
You might be able to use nail varnish remover if it's not labelled as acetone-free, but I'd be wary about the 1-2% of non-acetone components inhibiting the resin.
hello so after studying for pert and some other stuff im back to work on the br and I was able to spend Saturday putting poster board on the corrugated raised parts.
And instead of fiberglass or bondo I used water downed pva glue.
