If you still need help to print those pieces, let me now, I can look into it tomorrow at the office. Just show me which pieces you want and at what scale.
Hm, looking at the Pepakura software it only allows me to print to a Microsoft XPS document for now, would that work for you? Or I can save an EPS file, that's a vector format as far as I know...
And I can only second Drack, it's totally like Christmas
Q___Q <3
I'm 5'5''. My Shin is about 11 1/2 inches long, and 5 in wide at the top and 3 in wide at the bottom. My head is about 5.5 in wide, 9.5 in tall, and 7.5 in from front to back. I'm not sure how else to help you scale... but I just need it to make patterns, not really to use for pepping and fiberglass. I'll scale it further to match my size if need be. This is all going on foam. (yes, foam helmet too).

This is the most accurate Gungnir I've been able to find, however, all the links to the file download seem to be broken. *sigh*

Here's the other Gungnir files, with two types of unfolds by Nintendude.

awesome battle damage!
And good luck on the boots, can't wait to see them.

@ Annanymous:
Well you didn't have to wait long. XD
BIG UPDATE!!!!
The thighs and boots are complete. I took my time putting extra grime and stuff. Since they're the leg parts, they're in the mud more. >.> The best part is when it's all painted and you remove the taped off sections, revealing the black (like with my chest piece before). When you see it all together like that, you feel this incredible sense of accomplishment. What I'm really proud of though is that I set out to get all the painting done by today and I did! Now all I have to do is the shins, knee caps and helmet!
The thigh attachment did not go un-tarnished. I made sure to scuff it up too.
The right thigh has a magnet stuck inside that rectangular, obtruding piece in the center. Whenever I get to doing a weapon, it's going to be stuck right there.
The boots are filthy. Woo! Looking at the live action suits, they made it look like there was dirt caked into the crevices. I tried to replicate that too. Can you see that at all?
My sister came home after I finished painting the rest of the pieces. Woo! Naturally, I suited up! It takes about 10 minutes to put most everything on. When the whole suit is completed, it will probably take around 15-20 minutes. Once I got it on, I tried walking around and stuff. I can move just fine. And I can even go up and down stairs! Making sure everything is sized right sure pays off in the end. O_O;; I can't imagine if I couldn't sit down. Oh yeah, i can sit too. lol. But enough talk, I'm sure you want pictures!
Here's some video candy:
Big thanks to my sister for helping me in and out of my costume! <3

Roxy it looks amazing! Seriously, I'm speechless!
The details that you made on the stomach/back really make it stand out----incredible. You must feel so proud

Okay, I've scaled the shin to about 310 mm height and printed it into a PDF.

Try to check it as soon as you can - at 18:00 central european time I need to leave to catch a flight and won't be back in the office until friday.
I'm looking into the helmet but your links don't work and the other files are all A4, so I have to rearrange all parts for letter size paper...

Hold the phone!!!! How'd I miss the opening of the present?! That's what I'm talkin bout! That looks awesome!
P.s. I know I said I'd have pics for you today but forgot the shops close so have to wait till tomorrow so I can pick up 10 x 9V batteries to get the thing illuminated (stupid bank holidays!).

Helmet without flaps
http://www.4shared.com/office/aOwddH-7/GUNGNIR__Kadus27_JTM1997_Gungn.html
Scaled to about 264mm height, accounting for foam thicknes and padding and so on.
This looks like a very complex piece, so you'll have to do some serious reverse engineering to convert it for a foam version... If I have time I might take a few screenshots as well so that you have at least a superficial idea of what goes where.
Also, you may wish to only print one of the symmetrical parts to save on paper

Great work, Roxy! That paint job is GORGEOUS!
You will, dude. It's kinda hard to miss a bright orange spartan, don't you think? XD
btw, me and SpartanT117 are talking about having a Halo meet up at PCC. http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/30357-Phoenix-Cactus-ComiCon-2011
Goodness. Looks like that helped Vargatom with the pep stuff. <333

XD I love my belly! I think it's my favorite part.

Thankyou so much, Vargatom! And don't worry about the sizing too much. I do a lot of adjustments when I transfer it to foam. I'm going to save the helmet until after I do the shins. THANKYOU SO MUCH! I hope to finish work early today so I can get started!
Awesome job! You're progressing so fast it's making my head spin
Have you given any thought on what to do for a weapon?
Yes. I want a shotty, and either a DMR or a Pistol. But since I'm on a time crunch, i don't have the time to make one. T.T I'll probably run to the costume shop and snag a skull. lol. If I have time for it, I may make a blue CTF flag. >.> We'll see.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! 17 days and counting until Phoenix ComiCon! I'm not ready yet! Nooooooooo!!!! OAO

I think my jaw dropped to the floor when i saw this last night, but it was 2 a.m. so i couldn't think enough to write anything lol, amazing work, just simply amazing. this has to be one of the best builds on this entire site, just the attention to detail, the under suit pieces, its all just awesome, and i hope when i get around to restarting my reach build it turns out half as good as this.
