Is there an archive of Logos or armor stencils and other armor graphics (such as the ODST Blood type graphics)? I've come up empty on searches.

Thanks!
 
ok, all this talk of rondo/bodo whatever vs fibre glass, what exacly is rondo/bondo, and please dont use brand names,as they probarbly aren't the same as in the UK
 
Hey everyone, I recently bought some super glue to bond my pep together. I've had friends use super glue before n it works for them but I'm just wondering if this specific brand will be compatible with the resin later. I'd be disappointed if it dissolved :(

Otherwise, I DO have a hot glue gun... but I'd rather avoid the inevitable burns and frustrating stringy-ness if I can.
 
it is completely fine with the resin, just dont glue foam on with it, it will melt it off, but i dont think super glueis very suitable, it is too strong and very expensice, a glue gun or UHU glue will do.

im not sure they have that in the states, but i think it is very good, it dries fast, is sort of cheap (cheaper than super glue!) but as it is drying (which is about 1 min, you can still make minor adjustments, its amazing!)
 
Hey, i want to make multiple copies of a weapon i made from pepakura. can i make a mold from my original piece? if so what materials will i need?
 
I'm having trouble finding a thread on how to properly install a visor on a helmet. I am looking for a way of installing a visor so it can easily be removed/replaced without a lot of hassle.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks
 
@dan23, yes you can make moulds from a pepperd weapon, but you need to "complete" the first weapon. there are a few tutorials on how to mould stuff, so have a search around. i sont do weapons so i dont know any links

@sindreive what you do is got to FILE (in pepakura) and there are 2 option, PRINT AND PAPER SETTINGS and PRINTER SETUP. go into both of these (one after the other) and select, in the drop down menu called PAPER SIZE (both are called the), the size A4. if that isnt what you meant, then sorry.
 
@Hugh Holder. How about 3/4 nuts and bolts to hold it in place, so it can be replaced, insted of glued in. this would mean drilling the visor though. another long shot is magnets? really strong ones?

(sorry for double post, the edid function is SLOOOOOW)

1.First of all, you will have to upload your picture somewhere like facebook, imageshack,or any other place you can upload and view photos.

2.Then right-click on the image that is now uploaded, and select "copy image location".

3.Then go back to your page where you are making the forum post and press the image button(Circled in red in the image below). It will then ask for the image's URL, simple erase the http:// stuff, right-click, then paste your image location into the box.

4.Press OK, and marvel at your awesome pic!

(and yes, we all know it is a painful process, but it is a small price to pay for such an awesome community!)


Time for my question!
Is there anyone who can help me convert pdo to pdf? I have a pc, but I have to go to the store to print, and they won't let you print directly off your computer (usb drive or something). And the don't have pepakura. I have been printing to thin paper, then copying at the store onto cardstock, but that is a waste of time and paper. Any help, please?
 
I would hate to post a new topic for this.

Is there a guide on how to take a sketch and convert it into slice format? I would like to make a slice build of the hammer.

Thanks

Shawn
 
I have a question, I am a noob here, but i have read all the stickies and i dont have a noobish question i dont think. My question is how would you wire leds to the torso and shoulder/bicep pieces?
 
Ok so everywhere I've gone on has nothing to say about Scaleing aromor. As in giving me the method to do it. I have Blender and Pep D3. Any other thing on here that talks about scaling, I have to send my measurments to another person and wait for their reply.
If anyone can help me out here please message me or email me at EKshrek86@fuse.net

Thanks Jester 1014
 
@ deputy dog - yes, a dremel is the best thing to use, they are amazing, just be sure you know how to use one, practice on somthing which you dont mend messing up

@ TaKaGaRi - i have never seen a buy / selling thred, but i dont know wheter it exists or not

@ jester1014 - it is simple, you just have to have pepakura designer which you have to pay for, and then simply click the "2D" option in the top bar, click scale and then change the meaturements, e.g. if you were doing the torso, change the width to the width of your chest (armpit to armpit)
but trust me there are plenty of tutorials on scaling armour.
if in doubt:
