Hello!
I am posting this thread because I am getting started in making a Jun A266 Cosplay, and I'm already confused. I've already got the Latest Jun A266 Pepakura downloaded and it's like looking at an advanced math textbook. I see there are files that end in cnm, pdo, and foam. And I was wondering if I'm supposed to only select the foam ones and delete the rest? Because I want to make my costume completely out of foam. Secondly, I've bought 12mm (1/2 inch), 10mm, and 3mm thick foams, and the reason why is because I saw an armor tutorial on Impact Props channel, and he said "we are going to start with the base of the armor" and he shows us 1/2 inch thick foam, then, later on, he says he will add details with different layers of different foams with smaller thicknesses. I also went through other tutorials like the Heroes workshop Build Cosplay in-depth tutorial with him going over a basic helmet and showing us how to use Pepakura and size the dimensions of the patterns to fit your person before printing and things like that. I thought after buying everything I needed I was ready to jump in, but as soon as I opened the halo reach Mjolnir Mkv armor accessory/scout armor files I started getting a headache.
If there is anyone out there who is willing to help guide me and not point me to a tutorial video that only skims over how to use Pepakura, that would be amazing.
