Unfortunately, we can't give much help since there's just too much information to share in one go. The best advice we can give, and your best option is to read the Sticky threads and tutorials in this forum, the Creation Discussion forum, and the Pepakura and Cardboard Armor sub-forum. They will give you just about all the info you need to get started. If you have any additional question, please ask them in the appropriate "Help!" threads in this forum instead of creating a new thread just for your question(s).

If you have downloaded the Pepakura armor files but can't find them, search your computer for .pdo files. Just double click to open like any other file; they will automatically be opened using Pepakura Designer if it's installed. I suggest you keep better track of your downloads anyway.

We can't tell you how much supplies you will need as it's different for each suit and person. Just buy what you need as you go. On that note, I hope you realize that a basic, decent suit can cost hundreds of dollars (or Euros) to complete. I wouldn't attempt to do an armor suit if you can't fund it properly.

There are several scaling tutorials posted. To get started, check out the one in my signature. It's short and simple, but it gets the important information across.

Good luck.

spitfire is right.. just read up on the stickies, and you'll know EVERYTHING.. you can even get HD armor files!!
