Thanks, that's brilliant. I've been umming and aahing about card thickness to use and how to go about folding the thicker stuff, but this is perfect. It seems we've found our man!

wat if there is a shape on the pieces with no dotted lines on it? do i have to cut it out?? sorry if i have bad english cos im from an asian country

[Arioch]

Do you have a picture of it? Id hate to tell you the wrong thing... if it looks like a tab, its most likely supposed to be there and part of the piece.

Nice tut!!! so far one of the most helpful I have found here in the 405th. I'm starting my project today for the Iron Man's Mark VI. I found this site two weeks ago and I'm glue to it pretty much every time I get the chance, I read tons of tutorials and have a ton of files with different versions of the armor, but I think I'm making me a hybrid version of it...Picking the best designs and parts of each armor, I think it would look cool (or a complete disaster) depending on how good I can make it....

was attempting to do the death mask in ME2 read somewhere that 110 grade paper was what should work when doing pieces that will bend or that are small the piece will crease and bend what am I doing wrong? One printer went as far to say that paper has grain and going against or was it with would make the piece crease.

Ive been looking through noob forum and creation discussion and i havent found any detailed foam tuts or foam sizing (unless if im blind). But it would be nice if someone here can tell me how to work with foam such as when you draw the pieces on there( like where do you go from there and what do you print out the pieces and trace them on there?). Or can you post the link to a thread that does. Thanks in advance.
