Please search the topic of pep scaling. There are many stickies that can help you to scale a piece. Also check out SKG topic on her thigh some questions have been answered there.

i read the ultimate pepakura faq, but didn't understand what it ment when it said NAS measurements for assembled height to use as a standard.

Bicep: 35 cm

Thigh: 38 cm

Click on the "Divide/connect faces" icon, it looks like a zipper. Just go to the middle of the pep piece that is too long and divide it in half.

Actually called "Join/Disjoin faces"

This is your best friend when you find a pep file unfolded, or a piece too big.
