Hi 405th! Here's a picture of my MK VI ROBOGENESIS helmet...
So very clearly, I have no idea how to add proper supports to this thing. I would REALLY, REALLY hate to see this thing warp beyond repair after all the pepping it took to get here. If anyone has a method that could guarantee no warpage, I'd be happy to hear it. Thanks!

It depends on what you want to scale by.

I'd say overall "top of chin to top of head, AND ear to ear" DIAMETER, don't do circumference (wrapping the tape around your head) because that won't help at all. You want height and width because some helmets might be more narrow, or you might have a fat or tall head, and you have to make sure both constraints fit your head.
I used halogoddess tutorial. her depiction of measuring your head was a little vague on where to measure, weather you should go chin, across you face and nose to the top of your head, or weather to do a peripheral measurement from chin to top.

The flewible cutting board that I use for pepakura blade cutting has grid lines on it that are exactly 10mm apart forming 10mm x 10mm squares. I just put that on the floor and take a photo of myself with my head on it and then count the squares in the picture. It does ok for me.
But on the subject of measuring helmets. I plan to make a Daedric helm from Skyrim. Any suggestions on how to measure that puppy? There is a skyrim thread on here somewhere which is where i got the pep file from in the first place.....

How do I edit the flap size? I'm unfolding a model, and I've scaled it to the correct size, and now the flaps are enormous, each one being several inches. I can't seem to find the size in any menus, only the angle.
Edit: Found it, 2D Menu -> Edit Mode -> Edit Flap change size then click apply to all.

Is there a rogue chest..? According to the Halo wiki it's just a helmet:
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor/Mark_VI(A)
The reason why there is no back on those armors is because they get mounted on the normal MkVI armor.

In pep, try unfolding/folding the edges a little better. (hard method)
If that is a bit complex/vague, try cutting the flap edges off? (easy method?)

If you're talking about the Halo 3 variant chest pieces, then what you are looking at are simply add-ons meant to be attached to a completed MK VI torso. And, there was never a rogue chest in H3. Hope this helps.
You, sir, are correct. I was confusing it with the patrol chest.
So you start with the Mark VI chest and mount your variant to it then?
I am actually looking for more Reach Variants, I'm so vain I am modeling it after my own Reach Spartan. But I did figure out what piece i was looking for. I appreciate you response!!!

Ok, glad to hear that you found what you were looking for. I was just going to add that it's pretty much the same for Reach variants (attach to a standard chest).
