he's right you should look at the tuts in the pepakura forum t has a bunch of things that will help
you need to redo it and scale it right.

Ok, thanks for the information.
It was another helmet I took from a molding section and unfolded it in pepakura. The scale said 0.693..., but it turned out it was over 30cm.
I guess the tutorials were right saying it was scaled for a 7 foot supersoldier.
How does your helmet fit, because I am also 5'8". I scaled it down to 22cm, but I'm still debating whether or not that is a good size.
-Edit-
I have the measurements set for 22.0cm high, 19.2cm wide, and 28.6cm deep. I think that might do it.

I'm only 15 right now, but I don't know how much a good quality helmet would sell for.
I also have a question on the visor...
Would it be okay if I bought a cheap visor and then put on a gold tint? (Actual tinted visors cost upwards of $100 where I live)

22 cm is small... I would really suggest 25 as a minimum for anyone 14 and up with an average sized mellon...
Tinting a visor would be ok, if it were realatively flat, but it may wrinkle... think of it like a basketball in wrapping paper... it will be hard to get flat and smooth...

The tint is a snowmobile visor tint. It's a relatively flat visor too, but there are other visors that could do with a straight tint on the visor. If anyone's looking for that double-visor look (Next year for me), buying a tinted visor, then applying another layer of tint would be a cheaper idea than buying two tinted visors and cutting them (Not that I'm beating down someone else's ideas, the double visor made of 2 visors looks amazing).
Anyways, I am scaling up to about 25cm. That should do for an average sized person.

Dude your vents are WHACK! but i just think you need more experiance in pepping stuff.
Nice first couple helms though, i would try something NOT HD. like marine armor or low Detail pep files.

I think now it looks quite small, try scaling it up a few centimeters more.
