Over the past few weeks, I have been posting a weekly tutorial on the 405th main page. In this thread, I hope to keep the links to all of my weekly tutorials, and other tutorials/FAQ's. I plan to update this thread weekly as my tutorials progress.

Love the stickies remark, lol.



I plan to keep adding a weekly tutorial. I have another 12 weeks of tutorials planed (and brainstorming another 12 weeks), so I hope to get at least 6 months worth of tutorials published on the 405th main page. Nearly 1 month down, 5 months to go, lol.

Tips and Tricks With TACTICS-Week 4 is published on the main page. See first post for a link!

Week 5 is the satart of a series of tips, tricks and tutorials on the pre-printing and peping stage. It will be a series of weeks worth of tutorials explaining everything you need to know about Pepakura Designer.

Xtreme, are you gonna finish the EVA Foam? Just curious.



Nevermind, just read your last post. :p



Great job so far with the tutorials btw! :D I actually used method 2 in the scaling tutorial to help scale my Reach chest/backpack.

Is there any way to paint the EVA foam? Just curious... (I DID try the search bar)

If you use laytex paint, you can paint it. It will remain somewhat flexable, but at a certian bend in the foam, the paint will rip or crack.



EDIT:



Week 6 tutorial is on the main page! Check the top post for a link!

Xtreme Tactics, these tutorials are great! Because I know that many of these (especially the casting tutorial) will help me later on, I created a more clearly-formatted PDF file of that particular tutorial (while giving all the credit to you)



Here is the download link to the PDF file. I hope you decide to add this link to you main post. It may help those who need a clean printout to read during their first time(s) casting:

Thanks for all the great tips!

Great! Now that thesis is over (actually due tomorrow) and college apps and stuff is over, I'll have a lot more time to work on armor and stuff, so I can format more printer-friendly tutorials for you if you'd like! Just wanna help.

That would be great!



I also wrote yet another tutorial for here on the 405th forums. If you want to know how to export a Google Sketch-Up file into Pepakura Designer, look there!



P.S.- Ten written tutorials! WOOT!
