hi just another sizing tip that i use and it works well measure around the part of the body the main part you are using i.e head for say a helmet this gives you the circumference the use this calulator http://www.rkm.com.au/CALCULATORS/CALCULATOR-circle-sphere.html then it will convert it into the diameter for you so you can put it into the width colum on pepakura designer
hope this helps
hope this helps

Hey guys, kind of basic question, but should I be concerned that the pieces when scaled
go over the dotted lines for the print-outs?
Or is there something I am supposed to adjust or put in the settings before I print out?
I just don't want to have a bunch of cut up segments of one piece of the helmet.
Any help would be great, thanks!

hi mate them dotted lines are the size of sheets of card (not trying to tell you to suck egg if you knew that then im sorry) but saying that that large piece in the pic if im not mistaken is part of the brim of the helmet which alone is nearly 2 sheets long thats a hell of a size helmet you might wanna check the size as when its build you will be able to live in that never mine wear it on a helmet like that no piece should be bigger than the page the people that unfold them never work it that way if they are then you have scaled it too big

The files are no longer available to the public anywhere. They are also way out dated, so if anybody around here had them, they wouldn't bother uploading them anywhere because there are better pep files out there now.
Your best bet would be to download the pep files available here on the 405th forums, or at the following two locations:
405th.com- Official Pepakura Download Hub
Halo Costuming Wiki- Pepakura File Index
As for scaling those files, DO NOT USE THE METHOD IN POST #7 OF THIS THREAD!. Use the following Tutorial and FAQ for help with scaling.

I just added you xtreme, my email is num1turtlehead@hotmail.com. I hope to maybe get together with you and figure out why i continue to have issues. Maybe you can help me find some numbers that are gonna work.
it seems i am still having scaling issues and that you, Red, are the man to speak with. i used your formula above for the right bicept peice. I am 5'4" (64" total), that divided by 86 gave me .7441....., but the scale already in use in the Pepakura is 86.00, so my adjusted scale just ends up being 86. I also hand measured my bicept and got 11 inches high, converted it to mm (I am using Pepakura 3) which gave me 279mm and i input this into the scale height box. However after making the piece, it is absolutely massive! I have a very petite build, only 115lbs. What have I done wrong in the scaling process?? Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my first attempt at building armor.

Hi everyone I hope I'm in the right place here (I'm still kind of new to this whole thing). Anyways I was wondering if someone could tell me how to re-size a spartan mark VI helmet in pepakura version 3. I know how to do it in version 2 but version 2 won't open my file. Thank you.
