Questions about Pepakura

[Spartan 270]

Ya my primary question about pepakura is that if printed it out on regular printer paper, is it possible to trace the template onto card board then cut it out and fold the card bord into whatever part you are trying to make? :Steve:

 

[Ares]

Yeah, it's possible.

 

[LastSpartan]

or use cardstock

 

[Spartan 270]

Ok, where can i get cardstock?

 

[SPARTAN 053]

any craft store really.

my gf draged me to something like j"oans fabrics" and they had tons fo card stock, differnet sizes,colors,patterns etc. each peice was only 50 cents

 

[WanderingRon1n]

im using something like cardboard. if you use cardboard CUT OFF THE TABS

 

[JediFraz]

Or you could use spraymount to stick the printed sheets onto the card.

 

[Spartan 270]

Wait, how come if youre using card board, you have to cut off the tabs?

 

[WanderingRon1n]

it messes spacing up and makes the piece turn out wrong. just trust me.

 

[Spartan 270]

Oh shoot, you're right, good thing i didnt glue it yet. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[WanderingRon1n]

i had to completely redo my helmet because of it.

The printing onto paper and glueing onto cardboard seems a good idea. but too top it off you could print the armor detail...

which brings me to my quesiton :dee:

For the pep armor how do you apply the armor detail skin?

 

[JediFraz]

That is also in the tutorial..

About halfway down the page... You'll recognise it by the texture image.

I know it's several posts up, but if you are paying 50 cents per sheet of card stock you are getting shafted. I bought 150 sheets at Wal-Mart for about $5.

Unless your talking about poster-board sized, that company is going to get rich off of you alone.

lol, I'll need to hit wally world then. I see the armor skin and i approve but now i wonder :Steve:

think doom would do use a photoshop of it and give it a different color?
maybe a red / blue and green. just the basics

If Dooms not upto it, i can give it a kick

(Ignore the sig, it was lazily done.)
