Looking good, I will be following your build with excitement. Are you going full Space Marine size 7'+ with stilts or are you going to keep it normal human sized?
I feel your pain, brother!! I'm new to the game also. Long time fan of Space Hulk and Death Wing. Never done anything foam or cosplay for that matter but thru 3D printing and finding a termie helmet , here I am. I started on the other side making some of the weapons (full size auto cannon). Maybe a little backwards, but its a start. Your foam work looks good IMO and its gives me ideas for when I start mine. All the threads on here have a lot of great info and some very talented people making these suits. I'll be watching your progress, keep up the good work!!
Print out the template for one of legs, that is usually a good way to make sure the scale is correct for you. For my normal power armor build I printed out a lower and thigh template to make sure that I had the scale I was looking for correct. I am 7+ feet call in my armor, which is great from the perspective of being large but does limit mobility with 11-12 inch stilts.
About to start on my own terminator build. Never worked with this kind of foam before and I'm wondering what glue you are using?I'm going to go with the black Templars and have a storm shield and (hopefully motorized) assault cannon
