Looking good :) I need to get me some foam for the gears armor, it needs it really or it wll look flat. Gives a much better 3D look and probably alot more comfortable to wear too. I like the belt, doesnt look exactly like the game models which personally i like gives it a more custom look...

Massive sounds good lol. Hard to tell from pics even with rotating the 3D model around in Pep. The opening shouldnt be a problem as i can dremel it if its too small was just concerned by the chest width once inside the armor. I will try a 10% increase and hope for the best. I appreciate your...

Appreciate it thank you. Looks like i'll probably have to scale it up slightly then to fit me which will unfortunately make it longer but maybe i could dremel some of the bottom off later on.. Would help if i was tall as that wouldnt matter as much but on me it would seem alot longer. Trimming...

Thank you. Thats lucky then it nearly fits you, would suck to spend ages on a build to have it not fit at all. I was just wondering on the default size as i like to get away without having to rescale. I usually wear size xl in t-shirts so roughly 46-48" chest so my only concern with the scaling...

Nice pep work, looking good already. The COG armor will be my next build after the things i have going on right now. Already made the knee pads (Carmine's), gauntlets and shoulder pads Can i ask if you used the default sizing of the chest armor or if you scaled it yourself? Im just wondering...

Im not a skinny little stick as some armor seems to be scaled for (eg this 38" chest piece is the equivalent of a size small, i wear size xl in t-shirts so typically 46" or thereabouts depending on material etc) so it would be way too small on me. All i really want is to increase the chest width...

I could use some help for scaling armor correctly (yes i have read all the scaling threads but most dont work for me) The using a character pic and using your own height for it gave me measurements which i know are way too small to fit me so that doesnt work. The other way seems to be simply...

This resin is a blueish colour in the tin but is clear once put on the paper and yellow in the foil tray. Since im new to this i just expect what i see in videos so the yellow etc. Im not bothered about the colour i'd just expected to see yellow. What i watched was a step by step type guide on...

It is? From videos and pictures i've seen even of peoples first coat of resin it goes hard (when they tap the model you hear its hard) and also yellow in appearance (which may come down to the brand of resin however and what colour it cures as) This just didnt seem normal to me as i had expected...

Anyone? I want to get on with this but i dont know what has gone wrong with the resin. Its been 20 hours now since i put resin on the test model and its still the same as it was last night. Its not hard (not that the resin hasnt dried it has its just not hardened the paper) its given the paper a...

Make sure 'Edge ID' is activated (in Pepakura Viewer its under the View menu then tick the 'Show Edge ID' box) To make sure its working click on Print Preview before you actually print it, one shows that its working and also that the numbers are in the right place. Some pep files arent that well...

I think i need some help with resining. I am new to all this, recently built several pep models and now onto the resin stage which i've never done before Got all the materials - resin, catalyst/hardener, gloves, respirator, brush, stand with foil to put model on, syringe to accurately measure...

There are some models i would love to pep but i dont know if they would be possible for someone to create.. Firstly i'd like: Resident Evil 5 Hydra (triple barreled shotgun) Reference Images: http://media.photobucket.com/image/re5%20hydra/xAprilla/HydraFinal6.png...

Thank you i may go with the ebay one then, shouldnt be far off the bondo version. I think im ok now for what products to get just need to buy them all now. Im unsure of a few other things such as how to scale the armour properly (i know how to physically do it but big pieces for example can go...

Sounds good then will be using that. Thanks, hopefully they turn out ok. These few are really just tests to try things out, they're not perfect in build, a few gaps, overlaps etc and not great folds (got an x-acto knife ordered, a metal ruler and need a cutting mat for more accurate cuts and...
