Hello,
I've started my first project using Pepakura and have run into kind of a problem. I tried using the sizing that was recommended and I got through about 1/8th gluing the thing together before I realized that there was no way my noggin was going to fit the opening. I turned to my middle school math for help but am unsure if it will be correct. I don't want to over calculate and have a huge piece of armor that doesn't fit. So here is what I'm working with:
I was told to measure the height of my head in mm, which I found is about 215 mm and the program automatically put the width as 180 mm. Unfortunately I think the opening to the helmet is about 13 mm in diameter. I did all the math with my circumference of my skull and dividing by 3.14 but I would appreciate some input.
Circumference about 23 inches, but that's with no wiggle room, so about 23.75 inches to be safe. So the diameter is 7.56 inches which is 192 mm. But this is the diameter of my head, not the diameter of the helmet.
Anyone have any input on what I should put in the height or width portion so it will fit? I could be over thinking this but I'd appreciate the help.
Thank you!
