Thanks for all the comments guys, i appreciate the support. I have a lot of school work right now, so its hard to find time to work on this and progress is a little slow at the moment. Ive' got all the parts cut out for my second shin though, and a couple glued. ill be able to make a ton of progress this weekend hopefully. I also went out to walmart yesterday and bought a 12 pack of foam mats, because i wanted to try building the torso out of them, but im kinda lost. anybody know how to work with foam?
