I have to agree with ShadowCory that perhaps a well-designed PVC or similar frame would be your best bet for a strong and light structure from the beginning. I wonder how much a completed life-sized astronaut will weigh.

SURFDUKE - Great to see you again. You have been missed, Sir. Hope all is well.
Glad you are finding this attempt at a model interesting SAustin16. Hopefully it actually will be fun to follow. I hope so!

I am not at all sure how much it will weigh at the end (if successful) but I think quite a bit more that I originally thought. Mainly because I now think it is going to need much more support than I thought. However if successful I will post the weight.
