last link in my sig. Thats the best tutorial on scaling pepakura armour out there that I know of. It it can't help you, then PM me after you nhave tried it more then 3 times without success. Make sure you try all 3 methods!

I've created a file in Excel that should help with Xtreme's Method #1. See if it works for you.



Pepakura Conversion Kit:

Pepakura Conversion Kit





All you have to do is insert numbers in the red boxes and Tada, you end up with the proper Pep Scaling Numbers to achieve a perfect fit for any height.



It's not perfect, you still have to measure an image or a model like Method #1 states, However,you could use the image Xtreme provides in his tutorial to measure out.



Peace

When I do my scaling, I first measure myself for the armor piece that I am doing. Usually for the helmet, I add an extra 2 inches to leave room for padding and stuff.



Once I have all my measurements in inches, I convert it to mm since pepakura v3 works in mm. Since I usually measure for height, I just make sure I put my measurement conversion in the height box in pepakura when I scale my stuff. I have not had really any problems doing it that way.
