Is yours the right scale? Mine ended up huge but mine was a Halo 2 Pistol...
I'm working on a shotgun but I think I might just throw it out...

I scaled mine down its going to be for my kids halloween costume its 8 in. long 7 high.I sealed the movable chamber and removable clip area.I have since filled it with expanding foam that went well but when i primed it it reacted to the foam and has not dried in those areas.Ill wait a bit to see if it dries well..

That's what I shoulda been looking at when I was doing the program... Shoulda been looking at how long it would be and not if the handle would be just right size... -.-...

Hey, hey! That looks great, Motive! Nice work... 
I wouldn't mind tackling that Pepakura build myself (already got started on my MC helmet), but for the life of me I can't find the thread where a link was posted to download it...

Ok first of all it really was a pain in the arse.the file i used Pistol.pdo (i will edit with link when i find )It was harder than usual because the file included the components inside the pistol (inner chamber and removable clip).The numbers were to small and cramped on some pieces not to hard to figure out and i used Bristle board to boot so folding those little mothers ARRG.On the up side it did produce a good representation.it took me about 4hrs to do it start to finish.Minus the nozzel because i found missing pieces in envalope after i glued what i had.Fixable tho.The scale was 8in in lenght or 20 cm.this is set by selecting the muzzle as the bottom plane in pep when it first opens and adjust hight to 20cm.i modified the pep to join allot of the small edges together so i wouldnt have to later (If you can afford it buy this pep program it is amazing what you can do to make your cutting,glueing allot easier as well as saving your files.) I am now in the finishing stage prime fill sand prim etc. will post pics soon

i already have those files. so whats up with the scale? when you open the pistol file its really tiny, you use the "show objects list" to remove the "balls" from the model and thats as far as i get. I set the paper to letter. and adjust the scale is 26.7cm in height (tip of barrel selected as bottom) and the peices are like microscopic on the pages.
26.7cm is the real length of the gun
and the model isnt centered so you cant zoom in on it.
