iron-man MK Vl build

[SPARTAN1803]

hey guys. it's been a long time since i have posted a project on here. right now im working on iron-man mark 6. i have always had problems with scaling in the past but i have looked up alot of reff pics and i think i have this one right on. i got my files from robo on the rpf. here is the link

http://www.therpf.com/f24/robo3687s-iron-man-pep-files-sd-war-machine-links-page-73-a-88147/

right now i only have the chest done and i am starting on the back. one thing i will say is DONT RESIZE THE CHEST!!! and if you do change the back to the same amount you change the chest, they are pre scaled to match so make sure you dont scale one more or less then the other. that being said here are some pics of my progress on the chest.

thats it so far. chest peice is done and i am working on the back right now. to go into more detail on how to keep the back peice to the right size here is my equation

the default scale of the chest was 348mm. being 6'6 i definetly needed it larger so i looked at a reff pic and sclaed it up to 406mm. thats a 58 mm difference so i took the 58mm and added it to the back piece when i scaled it. the default size of the back was 468mm. after the addition of the 58 mm it came out at 526. let me know what you guys think so far

[SPARTAN1803]

alright whats up guys. got some progress to show you. didnt get as far as i wanted but i dont want to rush so without further a due.

the whole inside is glassed. i used stealths method and used spray adhesive. (thanks stealth) after work im going to trim the cloth on the edges and use my brothers heat gun to shape it a bit better cuz its a lil off set. i really wanted to in the bondo stage by now but i had a heck of a weekend at my dads. long story short we were haveing problems with railroad ties. more progress soon so keep watching
