Get a tape measure that measures in centimeters. Measure the width of your shoe that you are using and add a couple centimeters for rondo or fiberglass. then convert to millimeters (for example 10cm would be 100mm. Just move the decimal over one). and are you using the three-piece or the two piece?

Sorry i forgot to add that after converting to millimeters, on pepakura go to 2d menu and then "recalculate parts layout and put your millimeters into the width.

three piece, btw sorry if not related, is it just represented as diff pieces in the viewer or does it finnish in 3 pieces

 

[sk8almostbay]

it finishes in three pieces. i am using the same boot but the two piece so i do not have to figure out how to combine the two lol. I'm just lazy

Also, are you using the HD boot? If not, you should. A little bit of pep work goes a long way when it comes to detail and bondoing.

Any ideas on how to intergrate the pep boot onto the real magnum boot? I'm using a pair of 'Magnum' boots too.
