Hey guys! I've decided to start work on a costume for a convention my friends are going to in a couple of months, and having already having printed out a M7S SMG, I just decided to go for the whole thing with an ODST costume! I downloaded the armory forge files, opened them in pepakura, and I'm nearly all ready to start work on the actual construction. I've decided to go for the helmet first, as I think if I can do the helmet, I can definitely do everything else. I do have some questions I would like to doublecheck before I start work, though.
1. Dumb question I'm sure haha, but how do I go about these cuts? On the paper its straight line, but in the preview theyre a little open. I'm guessing these are to help the foam bend a little better, and the gaps will be filled in later. Am I correct?
2. What's the difference between the dashed lines and the solid ones? I see that on the preview the angles are very sharp instead of rounded, so I'm thinking the dashed lines are where you should score (slice into but not completely cut, I hope I'm explaining this right lol) the foam to allow for a more sharp edge instead of the roundedness you'd normally get from just bending. Is this right, or is there any difference?
Any help is appreciated! This forum looks great from the previous threads I've looked at, and I hope to give y'all some updates as I work on the costume!
