first slice attempt Pic abundant *new info*
*edit*
i have created an Assault rifle Slice finally by using the Pdo created by Calle_S exporting the obj file from it creating a 3ds file from it using meshlab.
Here
http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/
Then i Imported it into Google Sketchup IMPORT NOT OPEN!!!
for this slice idea to work you need to download a plugin for google sketchup called slicer here....

Then fiddle with the slicer settings but the slice width must be 0mm as the spacing is actually what your material will be not the width... if you set the width you will end up having a pep file to fold and not a slice
Then after slicing in sketchup export as a dae file .... i think they call it calledra or something im unsure ... either way it starts with a c under 3d export
then open the newly exported file with mesh lab again convert it to an obj save it
open the obj with pepakura unfold and scale to the correct dimension length..... since it did come from a correct 3d file before you only have to mess with the length as the lengths are displayed on the wiki happy slicing
heres my AR im unsure as to do much else with it right now like multipage etc or maybe i unfolded incorrectly i dont know but i love to perfect things any help on the pdo file is appreciated but dont go claiming/stealing my work on slicing please .... if i found it stolen link will be taken down and replaced with a passworded RAR with the file inside in its place

YOU MAY MODIFY THIS AND REPOST WITHOUT ASKING ME BUT MAKE SURE CREDIT IS GIVEN WHERE IT IS DUE... ESPECIALLY YO THAT CALLE GUY AS WELL AS MYSELF
*edit*
and yes i do know that all the pieces are on a single sheet... this pic was before it was scaled... the pdo file is also needing scaling and pieces shifted to sit for your liking
will be adding numbers so you know what order they go in on next release of file
but for now i can finally sleep ni ni cortana
