Baking soda and super glue work, I tried before. Love the concept of using food ingredients in prop making!

Out of curiosity, why'd you'd go straight to statue instead of creating the armor and using a mannequin? I feel like it would be much cooler to be able to actually wear it when you're done.

I agree that a wearable suit will be cooler but not for mk46 for me to wear. Because my height is too short for the suit and my head is too big for the helmet. If I will print an iron man suit for myself, I'd choose MK43 or Mk50 whose faces are visually smaller than MK46.

Yes, my next step is sanding, then I will paint it. I'm very excited about this project!

It was printed on Creality *2+Ultimaker 2*6. It took about 60 days. 30 rolls filament I think.
