[ Progress shots: Test Forearm Left]
Credit: Robogenesis's HD Mrk VI Forearm Left
Armor measurement: my height is 62 in or 5'2
Test Size: 58 in - uncertain if size is correct.
Looks better when more wrist is showing/moved farther up forearm. Arm length seems to be all right, but the wrist opening is far too small for me to get my hand through. Am I supposed to cut this one in half too or should I just widen the opening by trimming it a little bit? (Had some fun with the test pepa, and punched hand through ever so gently and half-ripped a piece. Experience of having on forearm worth it. )
The opening at the other end is a bit large as well... should I compensate with buckles holding everything in place? Or should I make the forearm smaller? Maybe the bigger opening doesn't matter a much as the smaller one...
So many questions, so little time. I'm going to ruminate on this all day.
New hot glue also seems to be kicking, screaming and generally making a fuss when I'm using it. You can see how it threw up all over the pepakura in pictures. Must remember to use better glue on the final pepa.

Jessmo : Thanks! I appreciate it
I just have to try and get it done before the end of May when I plan to use it lol.Outlaw-Tiger : that's definitely the goal haha. But I still need to rely on other peoples' expertise because I'm such a newbie.
LastSpartan- Thanks! You were a total lifesaver @_@
Bloodl3tt3r: All the other measurements were in cm and referring to the actual size of the item, but these for some reason were based off of MC's height in inches. It was in ratio to his height I think? I had to shrink it down to my own. I'm not sure how they managed to make the measurements do that, but I'm just glad that it works. Thanks for the comment
pooper: Thanks so much! It's good to have a veteran looking over the shoulder . I'll try and do you proud lol.
baconmaster6969: Thanks- I've still got a long way to go so hopefully it turns out okay.
gamerguy55: Yeah, definitely. Now my problem is figuring out if my forearm's the right size.
