Keep it up and keep us posted. This is an interesting method that I've never heard of before and might use after my Mark VI armor is built and I finally start on my own Ironman build. I'm very interested to see how this turns out!

Honestly, you would be better off buying a cheap new printer and running the cardstock through it. Just consider it as one of the costs of the costume build. Printers are pretty cheap now. The ink will probably end up costing more than the printer and cardstock supply. You're just asking for...

Does anybody know why this link no longer works?

Just thought I'd post another update. The shin pieces are now pepped (thanks Crackhead). I've also redone the bicep/shoulder armor using Robogenesis' HD model. I'm also currently replacing the forearms with HD files from Nugget. I've thought it over and I'm definitely going to replace the chest...

Thanks, Matt. I'll give that a shot!

I have a question about Crackhead's HD codpiece in Pepakura Designer. The support pieces look like they will be printing across more than one page. The faces are designed such that you can't cut the faces and pivot the pieces to fix this problem. I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 225, so I need the...

Is there a tutorial somewhere that discusses how to cut a pep model across two pages in Pepakura? I checked in the program Help files and, well...they aren't much help! lol I need to size up my shin armor and, according to my scaling, one of the pieces now crosses two pages and I don't know how...

Thanks! Yeah...once the weather warms up enough for the resin and bondo to set up, I'll keep working on it. In the mean time, I'm moving on to pepping the shins and feet.

Does anyone know where I can find some other options for the Mark VI calf pep models besides what we have in the download hub? This site has some good models, but it look like only the left shin/calf is available (http://405th.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17132&st=0).

Another update...thighs are now pepped and ready for resin. I was hoping to be able to resin today, but the weather isn't cooperating - it's 49 degrees out right now! Since I am now ready to start on the calves, does anyone know of some high res calf models out there besides what we have in...

I noticed out on the download hub that there are pieces for the Mark VI armor called "left and right rerebraces". Do I need these? Can someone tell me what they are for? Thanks!

Yeah I think that might just be the way the pieces are laying on the floor and the angle that I took the photo, especially with the chest piece just laying in front of it. I'll definitely be test fitting everything to make sure it scales on me correctly!

Hey all...quick question. It seems we only have one thigh model for the Mark VI MC armor in the download hub, unless I am totally missing something. Does anyone know where I can get the thigh model that has the "scalloping" on the inside of the thigh (like the guy in the pic)? Or maybe that's...

Got the chest put together (MD Chest - I figured 59 pieces were good enough compared to the 185+ pieces in the HD version! LOL). I'll probably resin and rondo in a day or so. The arm and hand plates are all resined and rondo'd now too. Cod armor and rerebrace will be next! One question on the...

Thanks...I found it!
