Thank you, even though it isn't much. I'm hoping I can get at least half of the cut out pieces folded today, and that I'll be able to glue together the glued pieces by next Friday. haha, thank you Monicator. Well then apparently John-117 is afraid of Pepakura projects.

Dude, you definitely need to be put in the Veterans when you get this finished. Good luck!

Okay, the Laser-eyed blue monkey has been satisfied, I've put up some pictures. Thanks a bunch for the sig help, Thanks Monicator, I'm just afraid my armor won't look very good. I really don't expect it to, seeing that it's my first Pep project.

Okay, I'll put op some pics of some of the stuff I have already folded, although it's only a few things. But I got all of the pieces cut out, and the next step is to fold. I'm hoping I can get it all glued together and folded in at least 2 weeks.

Hey 405th, I started on my Mark VI armor today! It's my very first suit of armor, and I don't expect it to turn out very good. It's also normal detail, so it definitely won't be the sharpest looking armor, but it'll be good enough for me. Progress so far: Today, I got all of my Pep pieces...

Haha, I'm an idiot. I had scaled the helmet to how tall I was, not the size of my head. But I do officially have a WIP now, it's only a matter of time before I start cutting, gluing, and folding my helmet! I can't wait, wish me luck! P.s.- After I get done resining and fiberglassing, do I...

Thank you Apostle, now I just need to find an X-acto knife somewhere. Apparently scissors aren't precise enough. Wish me luck on Pepping my helmet. :D

That may be it, it says it's low on color ink, but this is just black and white, and I have it set to black and white. I think it's because I WAY over scaled it. I'm 72 inches tall, and I converted that to millimeters for Papekura designer, it ended up being 1905mm. So I went to the print page...

I have figured out how to use the scaler (thank you!) , I just converted my height from inches to mm. Well, I have designer 3, and now I have 110lb cardstock paper, and it won't print. Do I need another version of Pep to print it out? I can't figure out if it's my printer or what. But when...

I searched "armor scaling", "scaling your armor", "proportionate sizing" etc. The only thing I could find was on changing the scale. Like decreasing the scale 10%, or increasing. I haven't found anything yet on how to change the armor proportions to accommodate myself. Is there some sort...

So working fast means once I start resining the pieces of armor, I have to do it fast because something will mess up? Sorry for all the questions too, but how do I scale the armor to my size on Pepakura? I figured out I'm 72 inches tall.

Mental notes taken, thanks for the tips! :lol

Awesome! All of you have been a HUGE help to me, this really is an awesome community. I'll probably start on my armor project in a week or so, I'm so excited!

Thanks again, If you guys don't mind, I might PM some of you if I ever have any more questions. -117 Edit: Do any of you have a time estimate for a Mark VI Pepakura armor? I would preferably like to get done with my armor within 3 months, because football season starts in 3 months.

All of you, thank you for helping a Pepakura noob. One more question, why would I need the Bondo filler? Or do I?
