Ral Partha has been here for a while and is one of the Pros of pepakura around the forum.
Great Work!

Hey guys!
I just finished assemblish Ral Partha's Unfolded Pep file, and it looks great! A few areas where deformations may become a problem, but I can fix most of them with scrap pieces of cardstock to act as stabilizers. Somehow, Ral Partha got the model down to just 2 pages, and very well organized (at 180mm height. I hope that's an ok size).
Anyways, here's the pictures I took. Enjoy!

The size is pretty good. Sorry about the glare. I used a little ducked tape to hold it there:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just so you know, the model was pretty fun to build, and very easy for the amount of detail (hmmm, according to FalseKnightmare, that must be a recurring characteristic with my models). A few areas have very tiny tabs, but cut them larger and attatch them after attatching all the big tabs. It's easy. Even the more difficult areas were pretty painless.
Now that I've actually started putting some pep models together, I can't decide whether to do the shoulder or a chest pouch to let people see how it looks. I think I'll do the pouch.
Looking forward to other people's pictures,
Shade

Sure. It's about seventeen inches from the outer tips of my shoulders. I stand at about 5-foot 4 (I know, I'm pretty short for being fifteen).
That's just for reference. The chest piece was printed at about 300mm wide, or about 11.9 inches. It's small enough to allow for some pretty easy arm movement, keeping in mind that it will be kind-of loosely strapped on, so it will be able to move an inch or more to the side.
I've finished scoring the 1-page Pepakura printout for the pouch. I made my own unfold just to make the job a bit easier. Here's what it looked like when I printed it out:
About to take a break,

I'm building mine right now. Mines about half way done. So many small hellish folds!
oh wow i just measured what you gave me and that thing is small or just right (the measurements don't match, 30cm or 300mm is only 7.5 inches?)so il remeasure from 11.5inches then convert it to mms and place in width box and it should change the height for meNightshade said:Sure.

Just finished my chest, unfolded by Ral Partha. I'd post pictures, but it looks exactly like Nightshade's build, so there's really no point. The scale was perfect for me at 6 feet tall and 190 lbs.
Very nice work on these files. You guys have renewed my enthusiasm for this project. Thanks a lot.

Glad to hear it, Malechei
Just finished pepping the pouch model. I'll post pics once my camera's battery is charged (which should be soon) so stay posted!
Shade
PS - Is it just me or was that chest plate easier to build than I thought?

Ok guys, I got the pictures of the chest pouch up. I only made one, but they don't take too long (only five pieces each), and I think I'll make another when I finish the shoulders and sniper shields:

PS - Sorry the pics are a tad bit unfocused. The camera kept acting up because of the lighting.

Umm ... 300mm is ~11.8 inches. Who ever said it way 7.5???
300/10/2.54 = ~11.8 in
300/10/2.54 = ~11.8 in

Just so you know in the future, 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters = 25.4mm

Oh, tehe, sorry Ruze, I knew that when I calculated it, just messed it up in the post. Sorry, I'll fix it.
And ACDCROckr, I think I'll have a go at the lower plates and equiptment on the chest tomorrow, just to let you know
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS - By the way, guys, after taking a good look at this picture, it seems I'm gonna need to edit the file again. Just proportional stuff. The middle at very bottom seems to have a little cut out, while the whole center piece seems like it should be a bit taller than the side pieces, while the edges of the center piece should be moved in more and less wide. The whole side piece looks like it should be bigger (including the black part), while the indentations of both sides need to be scaled up and edited a bit. By the looks of it, I think I'll need to redo the geometry on the bottom edges of the center piece, as well as make the edges at the top a bit skinnier and more square shaped than triangle shaped. I'll do these fixes tommorrow. It's past midnight.
Over and out,
Shade
