Gundam cosplay help

[aryanne]

so i have a question on how to scale the files to my size and the general rules. i saw a guide like this General Gundam/Mecha Cosplay Tutorial and i want to do this gundam here **Official** Gundam Pepakura File Thread so i wonder how will i get at it. this would be my first big cosplay project so i hope i can get all the help i can get. also is foamboard okay to start and how would i incorporate the structure in the first link with the parts of the second link? and how do i scale it to by body.

thank you
