Official pepakura scaling thread

i looked at the tutorial for sizing but the printing and paper configuration doesnt exist on my version at least. i am running pepakura viewer 3

I'm having difficulty with a master chief helmet that wont scale up on pepakura. It says specify size 1 - 2000 for assembly. What? It wont let me continue on with anything at this point. I've tried moving some of the larger pieces around and what not, but I need to help scaling it up. I want to set it to 25.4009 for my scale ratio. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

I followed the step trough the sticky thread and I did everything, but when I wanted to change the scale, its already set to 25.3. In the math formula the guy says that u use ur inchs ( 72 divided by 86 ) = 0,8372 and then multiple it by 30.342, but me its already written 25.3 ( in the scale box ) , what should I do, multiple it by 25.3 ? or I leave it like that? or I multiple by 30.342 ? plz help!

i found this video helpful for sizing the armor.

i measured from my chin to the top of the head for the helmet. then converted the measurements into mm the added it to the height on the scaling/re-sizing on pepakura designer

I'm not positive this is the proper area or not, but I'll give it a try.
I'm planning to pep a low def piece first, to check scaling. Will the scale I choose carry over to a high def pepakura file?
Are there suggestions on compatable files to accomplish this?
I have selected the high def files I'd like to use, (based on reputation). At this point I'm not locked into anything.

Thanks in advance!

Okay I’m trying to build my first set of Halo Reach Armor. I have Pepakura (Version 3) I have a JFO base Helmet. I’ve found where to modify the size of the parts. But I don’t know which Part to Measure (height, width, or depth). This is confusing the heck out of me because when I modify one to fit the size of the area the others change and then it will be either too big or too small (for example once it said my head/ helmet was 18 inches high(I know it’s in mm I just check the inches compared to my head )) It’s getting so frustrating. ANY help with this problem will be VERY appreciated

hi people!!!

im new to 405th and pepakura. It all looks confusing i tried to make a ODST helmet and it was a mess (good thing i didnt buy cardstock or other supplies) i was just wondering if some one could make me a helmet. im going to make the rest of the armor out of foam i just need a helmet or a helmet base that i can put some foam on i would prefer the base since it will sorta match since the whole thing would be made out of foam i will pay for it btw

thanks

Hello all. um quick question. this is my first build ever and I just finished my JFO reach helmet and I don't know if I scaled it right because it seems big to me. So any help will be appreciated. Be as truthful as you can I don't really want to advance with this one if it is too big. For size comparison I used a 16 oz sprite bottle.

Note if the pictures did not come through here is the site.

Would any one know where I could find the proper way to scale any Halo based weapons. Been wanting to add some kin of prop to my armory.
