Question concerning left forearm folds?

[Spartan 110]

or super glue, or hot glue, or what the guy above me said hehe

:evil: Elmers Ultimate Glue is like super glue or gorilla glue but cheaper and easier to use (at least for me)

Sorry for bumping, you've already gone w/ da glue but...

Well, to answer your first question. The easiest way to know where a piece goes is to use the "Check Corresponding Face" feature in pepakura. Right-click in the 2D unfolded window and the option will appear in the Right-click menu. Select it then click on the piece of concern in the 2D window and it will highlight red also automatically highlighting the piece's location on the 3D model


For the second question. The resin does eat through the tape. However, usually not enough to mess up your pepakura. I like tape to hold most corners even though it takes more sanding to smooth as it gives it a more natural rounded look to start with. Less detailing work for me later. After you have resined the outside though the tape will lose all of its adhesiveness, so never touch it until it dries.

so i can use tape?

 

[Sigma LS]

Sure thing. I do. You just have to be careful not to touch it as it dries.

?

 

[Sigma LS]

at least 2-3 hours to fully cure (depends on drying conditions)

Those are fold lines. You can specify which symbols mean what type of fold in the Line Configuration menu of pepakura


If you use tape on the outside, you will probably still want to sand the taped parts down as the resin will not completely diguise it.

nice you got a thread with full pics i just started cutting
oh and 1 more question here is a picture
how would i fold a 13?

 

[Sigma LS]

I just opened it up in pepa myself and looked at that part and didn't see that line. Are you sure that it's not sitting on top of another part?

If not just ignore the extra line.

Here's what it looks like on mine.

 

[Leadingspartan]

need help i got hand guard done =] just need to figure # 13 lol i thought 13 and 31 were the same number =] =p

 

[Sigma LS]

Slow down a sec. My computer only runs so fast. No need to double post.

There is an extra smaller fold that makes the piece curve a little. You can view all the polys and the smaller folds by unchecking hide folds in Line Configuration
