This is probably wacky but perhaps you could pad the inside with foam until it fits snugly. I doubt anyone will notice...you could always...shoot them? XD

I tried to do what you suggested for scaling. When I input the Height of my head, the width became alot larger than the width I measured, and Vis-versa. I switched around the height and width and depth until the ratio seemed right, but im not sure. I've Pepped the jawline and chin, but it looks way too small. Its not so much small, as it is the -perfect- size for my face, as in there is no room, and there wont be room for anything in there, including padding, and I wont be able to fit my head in it at all. Is there another way to scale it? and which measurement (height/width/depth) should be the longest, because I have no idea, as this is my first project.
I have made a complete Armor and now i try to unfold it. But the first time i made the helm. I cant use the file because wenn i scale it to width 200mm
the height is only 117mm. The second time i unfold the Helm and i made it width 200mm the height was 567mm. What i am doing wrong????
Sry for my bad english but im from germany. Saske

Nothing. If the height of the model is only half its width, you can't change that. No amount of unfolding or scaling will do anything about it.
That's no excuse! :-D
Maybe you mixed up the dimensions when importing the model, had the model standing on it's side or face a different direction? The proportions of the same model will not change, regardless of what you do in Pepakura Designer.

Do you have a link to the file? I doubt I'll be able to unfold it but I think I can tell you what your problem is.

I didn't really know where to put this question so I hope this is the right forum! I've just finished building a pepakura gun and was wondering, what do I do now? :/ Do I resin it and bondo like armor or is there a different method? It's my first ever pep gun!
You resin the outside, cut a hole and pour rondo (mix of resin and bondo) inside. This should give harden it enough to be used.

hello i want to make a set of armor! i have all the files downloaded (MK VI) but i cannot find them to put into paperkura. i have a pc and want to know where i can find the files. also some tips for scaling and building tips would be AWESOME!
If you have the files they should be in the foulder that it was saved to. If they're not there you need to make a folder and save them to it. There are also many different programs (i.e. uTorrent) tht hold the files for you.

This is the fourth time you've asked for assistance on this matter. Spitfire22V provided you with good recommendations one of the three other times (http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/33837-N00b-help-armor-tips!?p=559614#post559614).
Being new to the website (and/or the hobby) should not be used as an excuse to multi-post. Please stop asking the same question(s) again and again.
As for noob tips...it is your responsibility as a noob to take the initiative to browse and research the information already provided on this site before asking for tips. A good place to begin is Roadkiller's reading list (http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/30542-NOOB-reading-list). Good luck.
