Pepakura First Step In Building Foam Pepakura Armor (Tutorial)

[genericmav]

Greetings fellow builders

I've been asked by people on Instagram with how to start building their own Halo armor.
Frankly I dont have specific armor guide, but knowing how to start working with Pepakura will help you in building any kind of armor (yes, anything actually)

Hence, here is the PDF tutorial that I compiled with tips that i find useful for my builds.
Also, I will be making a series of Insta reels explaining each of the pages in more details, feel free to give me a follow at: Genericmav Armory

Anything you wanna ask just drop me a comment below, peace out

Overall really helpful! I want to build a Mark V but I do have a question: how do you simplify the template? I export models from blender into pepakura designer and they're VERY complicated. I don't know how to tell what to keep or what to throw or how to simplify.

Can anyone please explain a way to print the patterns that have to be on multiple pages to print edge to edge ?

You can use the separate tool to cut the large piece to fit on separate pages. Print them out then tape them back together.
