From the screencap, I'd say the knee looks wrong, but still might be a good start point. can you put up some more images/renders of the model? I grabbed a starship troopers arachnid from scifi3d the other day very cool, I may try to pep it one day, it astounds me that people out there will spend so much time modeling and texturing just to give it away for nothing.
Clone Trooper pep files coming soon!

Any idea on when we get these? Heh. I feel like wearing this suit would be an insult to the 501st because a lot of the Halo ers use pep and they use generally vacu forming. So seeing a troop of theirs done our way would be interesting.

there are add ons for 3ds max you can use, otherwise use vizup to lower the poly count on your models.
It works well.
The 501st legion is under the restraint to make sure their costumes are super accurate. Most dont care wether the costume made from paper mache provided its accurate enough. Most people Ive met in the legion actually are enthralled by people that make their own stuff from sctratch. And have tons of question of how to do it.
Ive shared the pepakura programs possibilities on the clone troopers site. They were exstatic, The idea of making their armor vs buying it was a happy surprise for most of them.

I'll try vizup on the entire body .3ds model I have, if it lowers poly but keeps over all quality it would help.
the thing about pep that makes me angry is say the thermal detinator, I tried editing a stormtroopers TD in pep, the main piece is rounded like a can, they cut it up into strips...I mean seriously, I if I made the TD myself, I'd cut a long piece of cardstock, then roll it up like a can.
Seems vizup wants me to purchase the program or else it wont let me save...awsome...:/

Hi, those were awsome! But can you make the helmet with not so much folds etc.
But otherwise it was totally great!

This is awesome, I would also love to see those Ironman pep files 
Okay, sorry that it took so long... I've sent the file to AoBfrost and finally got the pictures up. sorry 'bout the crappy image host and the ads.
EDIT: Arg, images won't preview... dynamic pages blah... well, whatever.
Here's the model I used (Full/Stripped/Decimated)
Here's the helmet I made
Yeah, it's badly warped, because a ) it's my first b ) I wanted to get it done fast and c ) I cut it open and suck my head into the too small opening to show my friends over webcam but overall I think it's okay
@Descended Life: Go as Darth Vader! Pep Helmet + Robe = Evil ^^

I dont know what package you're using, but most should offer some type of melt poly edit function. Its what I used to remodel and lower the poly count from the CQB helmet. You can end up with a lot of n-gons but unless you plan on texturing the model its not really an issue, as pep dosnt care about n-gons, it will just convert everything to quads and tri's.
edit; I see you're using max, Im fairly certain it has this function
