    First Time Doing Everything... Needs Advice!

    Start with whatever is most comfortable to you. I actually found I had to scale the handplates down quite a bit. check out my thread for pictures of the 74 scale hand plates I made that matched the rest of the suit, and the smaller ones I ended up making to fit my hands. Generally you...

    First Time Doing Everything... Needs Advice!

    Pepakura File Index is where you can get HD pep files. Speaking from experience, the HD pep files can cause quite a bit of aggravation, but the final product is totally worth it. Try to avoid double and triple posting, if you want to add something, edit your last post. Throw up some...

    New Xbox Controller Project Natal

    Where did you get 2015? Wikipedia: I realize Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source.. but there's still no official release date. I think by 2015 it's safe to say we'll have a new set of next gen consoles.

    Snowhorn's Mark Vi Wip

    Welcome to my Mark VI build. Sorry for the shoddy camera, (All comments and suggestions are welcome) I started with the low def right shoulder, but have now moved onto an HD set. I made the mistake of building the handplates at 74 scale (I'm 6ft), and I since don't have gorilla hands, I...

    Simple And Easy Scale Finder

    Awesome spreadsheet, I'll be using it for my gear. A couple of questions though, 1) The scale thread suggested adding 1-2 inches to your height, is that still the norm? 2) The Scale Finder says "Take this number and multiply by current scale", is that supposed to say divide? That is all...

    Updating My Old Armor

    You should try Samus.. It would sort of incapacitate your right hand, but sometimes you need to make sacrifices for awesome costumes..

    Fans In Helmet?

    True.. the heat would sort of take away from the cooling effect of the fan.. Not to mention probably burn your cheek. A better spot would be at the back of the helmet or even the backpiece depending on your wiring for the rest of the suit.

    Fans In Helmet?

    I'm still working on my first MC helm, but I do have some experience installing fans in paintball masks. Typically the fan is installed in the nose/mouth piece. This isn't my picture, but it may give you an idea of placement. [attachment=8925:fanMod.jpg] The difference a fan makes is...

    Scaling?

    Are you using Pepakura Viewer or Designer? Viewer does not have rescale functionality. Designer can rescale, but you can't save with the shareware version.
