Sizing armor

[beefhat]

Hey guys, looking to start making my first armor, I've read on everything before with pepakura and gassing sanding painting etc, sizing was a bit confusing and felt like I wasn't confident enough to just wing it to only go back and do another piece. Looking for some tips on how you guys size your armor to the best possible fit.

i would try your hand at free handing it. then you can just make it to fit you.

You can't freehand pepakura.

Anyway, you need to check out Halogodess' scaling guide. Read and follow the pictures and you can't go wrong. Give it a shot and show us how it turns out. Let me know if you need anything else.

It's hard enough to free hand foam templates, freehanding pepakura is impossible to do.

I highly recommend watching this video all the way through if you want to learn about sizing your pepakura project. Spacemeat definitely knows what he is talking about and I think he does a great job explaining it all.
