Need an Unfold for Starship Troopers project

[CommissarHartman]

Hello everyone. I'm working on a Starship Troopers costume and have made some good progress. I'm trying to get one together that I could eventually share some patterns for, so buying screen used isn't really an answer, despite my having a few genuine items. Here's a pic of my armor so far, made of foam camping mats and 2" polypro belting.

What I need now is an unfold of my .obj mesh of the MI helmet. Could anyone out there help me out with running my mesh through pepakura?

I can help you with that

I've been wanting to make some ST armor for a while now.

Email sent.

ive been drooling over your updates over on cosplay.com. i had no idea you were a member over here! that armor looks seriously amazing.

I've been getting a lot of help from the folks over at whiskeyoutpost.net. They've been giving me a lot of good reference from their screen used gear, and also a lust for the genuine articles myself.

Just a friendly update on this project for the folks here on 405th.com. Here's my SST armor set strapped and assembled and shown on a hanger with an actual screen used MI jacket. Now I need to make/acquire a neck ring, gloves, pouch set, trousers, knife belt, and boots.

I got some drawings and scale references from the forums at whiskeyoutpost.net and then used a projector to scale up the images to full size. Once that was done I projected the full sized image on cardboard to make a template, and then transfered the template to a pair of Army Green foam sleeping mats. I glued all the chevron shapes on with Gorilla Glue, as well as the straps which are 2" Nylon Webbing. Its held together while worn by 8 plastic parachute buckles, and the color is Model Master #1950 Panzer Grey.

Can you send me some of the documents you used to build the armor... I have been searching forever for a decent set of blueprints for an easy build set of StarShip Troopers... I would greatly appreciate it my email is ace8773@yahoo.com. I am a huge fan and you would be saving me big bucks

 

[spartan005]

hey ca u send me the files you have to i so what to make all this also ...

 

[CommissarHartman]

Given the level of interest I'm seeing here I figured I'll go ahead and post my diagrams, and a link to the scale reference pics I have.

First, here are the diagrams:

And here are the scale references I got from whiskeyoutpost.net

All of these shots are done with screen used pieces on a 1" grid. Ideally the depth for each layer should be about 1/4", but I just used whatever the sleeping pad was.
