I made a huge set of calipers to measure body part sizes out of EVA foam. I looked at the dimensions in Pepakura Viewer, and compared them to the measurements I made with the calipers of my head. All seemed well-sized for me, so I went ahead and just rolled with the standard sizing.

Quick update regarding the thigh piece I had ready; I've assembled it for the most part, and it seems to be a perfect fit as-is. It's got a bit of room left for the resin and fibreglassing. With enough cardstock to spare, I should try the main chestpiece once I've got the thighs and helmet done...

Alright. It's been a while since the last update. I've had a massively busy few weeks. College work has been stressing me out to no end. Anyways, I've made a bit of progress. For one, a while back I headed down to a local crafts store near me, to find they actually sell the cardstock I need! I...

I actually left the scaling as it was on the original pepakura file. I made a set of massively oversized calipers, and measured key points like ear-to-ear, Front of the chin to the back of my head, etc. And measured those points in pepakura designer. Standard sizing looked good to me, so I hope...

So, I have made quite a bit of progress since initially starting this thread. Now with the helmet starting to come together, I'm slightly worried about it's size. I suppose the only way to tell if it's right, is to try it on when it's finished. That said, here's a pic of the helmet's current state.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback and tips, really appreciate it. I've heard about 'rondo' slushcasting the inside of the helmet, but I'm not sure how brittle/fragile it would be, compared to putting Resin, and then Fiberglass, so I suppose I'll have to do some reading on it.

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. The MCC including Reach being announced for PC was the final push over the edge I needed to get started on my first ever cosplay build. It's my first time ever working with Pepakura, so it'll be a fun learning experience. If you have any...
