Beginning my MK VI build. My goal is to have this done for RTX this year. This will be my second armor build.
For this armor I decided to save myself hours of labor, frustration, hand cramps, and knife cuts by lazer cutting all my pepakura files. So far I've cut the helmet and torso and have been incredibly pleased by the results. The helmet took around 30 minutes to cut, the chest 45. All the fold lines are perforated, which also eliminates the need to score them and creates very crisp creases in a fraction of the time. The process also removes the chance of human error in this step. The main downside is that the joints are no longer numbered so I have to pay close attention to the model and unfold on pepakura, but that is a small price to pay.
It's going to be a busy month and a half, but right now my outlook is bright.
