Yes, in pepakura viewer/designer there is an option to mirror the design. This will allow you to make the opposite side.

Me too man. Pep, resin, fiberglass, bondo... it's just too much lol. I'm really digging foam though. I hope once I'm done mine will be almost as good as yours.

Thanks man! And considering the quality of your builds i would not consider you slow. You're an amazing craftsman. It's an honor to have compliments from you. You are second to none.

I was getting around to that, but thanks for getting it to him sooner. Anyway, i finished shin V 2.1! It's even better than V 2.0. I'm very happy with how these turned out. I cannot wait to get more done! Here's some pics I'm not sure what to start on next. I might finish...

Bondo is the body fuller you use to make details and smooth. Rondo is a mixture of Bondo and resin that people typical pour on the inside of armor, after fiberglassing, to smooth and add additional strength.

Thanks man :) i appreciate the kind words. That's also why i started at the bottom. I'm going by the time i get to the torso I'm a foam master lol.

Shin version 2.0 is complete.... And it fits! It turned out way better than my first one too. I'm very happy with the results. I also traced out all the pieces for my second shin. I hope to have it done by this weekend. Let me know what you guys think.

Usually what i do is take a bunch of reference pictures and see where they line up on the body. Then i measure that distance on me, in centimetres, and add a 0 at the end to convert to millimetres. Then i change the scale in pepakura designer to match that dimension. I usually use the...

So, i wasn't able to make the shin work, and i felt it was a tad too small. I started working on shin 2.0. I increased the scale by 10% so hopefully this one fits better. Hopefully I'll be able to work on it more this week and hopefully my giant hobbit feet fit through them lol.

I've had luck looking at reference photos, seeing where certain parts sit on your body and measuring that. Then, in pepakura designer, measure point to point and try to get it as close to the size you need it. On my grenadier build, i saw where the outside edge of the chest sat on my shoulders...

I'm using the files in the link of AngelLegend's YouTube video. If you haven't already, you should really check him out. He's amazingly helpful. Thank you! That's really awesome to hear :) Hello all! My progress during the week has unfortunately come to a stand still, but luckily i...

That looks awesome. Can't wait to see it painted.

Those shins look nice man. Can't wait to see more!

Looking good man. Your cuts are clean and seams are pretty nice. Can't wait to see more.

Soooo clean! I aspire to one day make such clean foam pieces. I can't wait to see more.
