Hi everyone! I am very excited to be a part of this website and to build my own armor. But I am kind of unsure about a couple of things. First, I was wondering how to scale the armor file in pepakura, and if you can do it in pepakura viewer. Also, what type of card stock should I use to print the armor out? And lastly, I am not even really sure were to start or what to do.

I have one other question, Were can I buy a gold visor that has a gloss?
From what I understand you can use tinted motorcycle helmet visors to create larger helmet visors like the mk VI. I don't know too much about the process but I'd start there.
 
It really depends on which helmet your going with. If you are going with a bigger visor such as Master Chiefs compared to a smaller one. For example I am doing a Warrior helmet that has a small visor so I am using the following link.

As for the bigger visors i havent looked into that yet.

Doy you think I would be able to use more than one of the Flexible Metallic sheets for a bigger visor? Because, Like you mentioned, it is the Master Chiefs helmet that I am looking to build.

I heard about the Motorcycle visor idea but I dont know how I would attach the visor to the pepakura model. Also I don't think I would be able to get my hands on a tinted motorcycle helmet with out paying a lot.
