for the cod and butt piece you might want to avoid fiberglass and risin. it wont be too comfertable when you sit in your suit.
Great job man! Can't wait to start a helmet just hoping it turns out half as good as yours! just wondering why you would put the peps together without the id's? It's not ganna effect the final result but it will save you time, just my two cents. Well can't wait to see the final results!
Are you going to post the pep files? Those would be great to have!
Good question!
I find that I can pep it faster with out the ID's. Especially when it come to cutting and creasing the fine detailed areas. Every time that I see a highly crowded detail section, all of the ID's are overlaping each other. This makes it quite hard to determine where to cut or crease (valleys & mountains) Removing the ID's clears everything up. I'll admit this method requires that I use Pepakura Designer to tell me which piece is next and where it goes.[/I]
Have you tried reducing the font size? That works wonders for me, especially in those small, tight, crowded spaces (then again, I have really good vision). Take it down to about 4pt, or less if you can stand it. Obviously that's not going to help with pieces you have already printed, but give it a try.
Dude, I REALLY want those files
edit* what type of glue are you using? When I was using superglue it left marks but yours doesn't.
Hah well yes, I know how to rescale and I would have to do it anyway because being 5'3 is not to common here, and I can always put the numbers back on
In that case. You can get the original files from here: REMOVED because it looks like site has issues.
Look for the Halo 3 MJOLNIR Mark VI Armor. Those are the exact ones that I picked.
Cheers!
Dang! Well there are quite a few other versions of the mark VI so I don't think I would find the right one, well if you just so happen to have an HD recon head shoulder chest and everything else that would be great! But that's not the point of this thread
Oh I went to your site and I must say it looks great! I love the timeline on the side too, definetly watching both it and this thread.
Great work...can't wait to see it done. Are you going to battle damage the paint job or do a new off the line look? I'm working on the same armor but being a noob I can't post the pic yet, but I'm going to try the no ID# and see how it goes. Thank you for keeping me inspired to get mine done.
