Hello everyone... My name is David but if you have been here for a very long time then you may know me as Ithica. I used to build props almost 10 years ago ands it is amazing to see that 405th is growing strong. I am back at it again and look forward to posting new work. if anyone has any questions... please feel free to ask.

Side note..... is there a way for an admin to combine this account with my original? I assume the name is still around because I was not able to use it anymore and honestly after 10 years I forgot what email I used.
Welcome back Ithica! I used your Pepakura supply list to make my Spartan! :) I also included it in the tutorial index I compiled.

FANGS can for sure can help combine your accounts. But you may also want to figure out your local staff so they can help keep in contact with Fangs for you.

Welcome! In the Armory, if you're logged in, you'll see an orange Download button at the top right of the page, like so:

This will download all of the files listed on the page.

Keep in mind that the files with "foam" at the ends of their names are designed for foam; the others are designed for papercraft (AKA pepakura).
