Hi, I'm Luke and I'm italian. I don't speak english very well so excuse me if I'll write something wrong. I'm going to realize iron man armor and I'm sure I will find a lot of tips.

Hi Luke! Welcome to the 405th. There is a lot of information around, but I'd suggest you start by:

Watching this orientation vido:

Reading this complete Noob list. A lot of it will still apply to an "Iron Man" build:

Reading this on how to "scale" your paper creation to fit you:

Reading this on some of the forum's best practices:

Thanks a lot! I still have much material required and I already use pepakura. I'm undecided if use resin or hot glue fot the inside. I'll have some problems to use resin because I don't have adequate space at home but if the hot glue result too bad, I'll use resin. Do you have some suggestions for me?

You're getting answers, so I guess people understand you ;-)

There are resins that are non-toxic and that you can use inside safely, but they are very expensive, especially in Europe.

As for having space... I have been doing all my resining on a (spacious) window ledge and I think the only piece that will require a larger surface is the chest. You always have to ask yourself this:

Hahaha Thanks for help me! In about a week I'll try resin on the helmet and on the fron part of the chest. After that, I'll post a new thread of the WIP.
