Looking to Build Mrk 6 Master Chief With A Rouge Helmet Instead of The Mrk 6 Helm
Thnx

Rouge helmets are great, but L'equipe Bleu always wins!

Just kidding ROGUE helmets are awesome.

Im going to assemble my first helmet and I wanted to know if it was possible to have it assembled and completed by Halloween 2011, also how do I measure my head for the helmet, people keep talking about depth but idk what that is, or how to measure it?

 

[Boomixx]

Also in the Pepakura program under the 2D settings, how do you get the measurements for all 3 areas? Hight, width, depth? How do you measure for them?

 

[Sidewalker4961]

Depth is the front of your head to the back. Width is left to right. Height is top to bottom. Add a few cm in each direction so you have room to fit your head inside the helmet.

Thnx, that's all I wanted to know

 

[Boomixx]

Also, once you measure your head for the helmet, and you get the cm, how do you translate them for the Pepakura designer scale?

 

[The Shadow Amaazon]

If you measured it in centimetres (cm), multiply it by 10 to get milimetres (mm). You need milimetres to place it correctly on the scale on Pepakura.

[sik1276]

I have quite a few models I want to unfold but they're not clean/pep-ready.

I have Blender. Can someone please direct me to any tutorials/videos that would help explain how to fix:
-Open Edges
-Intersecting Mesh/Planes
-Flipped/Reverse Normals?

Hey Everybody! I'm making an iron man mark 3 suit and hot glue is driving me up the wall. I get some folds right and i glue them right and there's some that look HORRIBLE. The hot glue dries way to fast... So sometimes i rush with the gluing and i screw up. Sometimes it's crooked, sometimes there's too much glue that creates a large amount of excess. Can i use a heat gun to re melt the glue to remove the excess and re glue it? Or is there a better way remove the glue and do it again? Thanks for all your help!

You can use the tip of your glue gun.

You could also try a different type of glue for your next try.

In the print and paper settings, there is a transparency slide. Adjust this slide to 0% (the far right).

hello everyone,
I can't seem to figure out how to scale the Odst helmet from Pepakura viewer when i print it.. do i just need to take a ruler and a calculater and draw all the pieces or what? Any information will be useful, Thanks!

Hello.

There are many tutorials about this topic.

This is the one I used for my helmet and it worked perfectly:

http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/25588-How-to-Scale-Your-Armour-Tutorial-V.2

However, I recommend to use the search function and look for the others tutorials as well because it's important to have as many references and hints as possible.

In the L3X_Carpathiavh Reach Chest file, is the width of a person's chest the width or depth slot?

I think you go to (Settings) then (Others Settings).
