"Help!" for: Papercraft or Pepakura

[Nijake]

Can someone please answer my question (Sorry if I sound pushy but I need it by tomorrow) Thanks,

Jacob

There is no such thing as "Standard" scaling. Each suit is custom scaled to the person that's going to wear it. The only way you could sell these is if you had the person take detailed measurements of themselves or have them meet you so you can scale it properly. Also: Next time, try to ask more than a day in advance of when you need something.

JBetts - No one knows what you mean by "standard" scaling as there really isn't one. When working with pepakura, scaling is done to fit each person and the "one size fits all" approached does not usually work unless all of your subjects are approximately the same size. If you're having someone create the pep files for you, perhaps you should work with them about the sizing concerns. This is really the best answer you're going to get as you've not be very specific or detailed in your form of questioning.

It works like measuring your body height, except you don't measure from the ground to the top of your head, but you put the front, back and top of your head onto some surface (wall, table). Just make sure to measure perpendicular to that surface and from the lowest to the highest point. Please don't tell me you couldn't have come up with that on your own :-)

Does it matter what color my card stock is?

[Hickeydog]

Not at all. My suit is a mix of white and yellow cardstock.

You really should take more care with your ortography, it took me three reads to understand that last post. However, thinking first and asking later is never wrong.

Maybe this question has been already asked and answered before but:

where can I request someone to create and design something in pepakura? Like a helment for isntance?
