Making a statue in Blender help needed

[open forge]

Hi all, I am trying to take hollow Iron Man STL files that make a wearable armour, combine them and then turn them into solid files like a statue.

I am completely new to modelling. I have blender and fusion (Education version). Is what I am trying to do possible?

I tried for hours yesterday with the sporadic and unpredicatable help of chatgpt. Fusion ended up looking nothing like the original model and blender kept crashing. I am using a Macbook Pro. M3 Pro with 18 GB of ram.

Thanks for any help.

why not download a iron man statue? there are dozens available on line for free with several different poses etc.

Hi. Thanks for the questions. I did that for the MK46 as the file was very high quality. I can't find a similar quality statue file for other armour types. I have the STLs for wearable armour and thought I could convert them into a statue.

On cults there is a mark 85 statue in a landing pose from the first iron man movie.
The file contains , obj files for the statue and base as well as .stl files for resin printing.
costs almost 9 dollar though.

thanks. Just had a look. Great model. Think my other half may have a "moment" if I printed that at life size. 🤣. Lots of the statues are in various action poses and I am just looking for similar to what I did for the Mk46. Hence why I thought I could join STL files.

I have a statue with that pose of the mark 43.
on a round base of 20cm, and 13 cm high, with a lit reactor and eyes.

i think if you stand up that iron man it's like 25 cm
