did i do something wrong?

[lizander]

My left bicep is too big. I scaled it 27 in pepakura, and its as long as my upper arm. how far down sho;uld the bicep go down?? is there any special scale I need to do for it to fit??

Read the last few pages on the Pepakura Scaling sticky, my bicep piece is scaled to 20

The place to measure on your upper arm is the circumference around the arm located just above the inside bend of the elbow.

Do you know the formula for figuring out your scale size? If not, add up your hieght in inchest, divide it by 86 and then multiply by the current scale to get what you should be. People might say otherwise, but the biceps and forearms HAVE to be scaled differently because the Master Chief is not a properly proportioned human being (even though he is so cool!)

That's for sure. I scaled my helmet to 23 from I think the default 32 or something huge like that. All the pieces are scaled for a 7 foot tall super soldier that is probably pretty ripped and therefore needs big bicep pieces

thnx alot guys. I knew master cheif was huge, but the forarm was massive on me!!

Deepfrz, so the height is how long to make it, and whats the I.C.?? This great. its so awsome that im starting to make my halo armor!!
