Hey y'all!
I think I'm at the point where a lot of you guys/gals have been at before, you got the material, you got the tools, you got the drive. But there is that one thing holding you back.
In my case this is never *ever* getting the scaling right and after a ton of tries losing motivation only to come back again a year or two later, hoping that this time you'll get it right and you'll finally be able to build the costume you want to build.
For me this has always been a Mark VI Recon Armor, starting with the helmet.
I've followed all the scaling guides here, but it's always either way too big, or too small. So I'm at the point now where either I'm just extremely stupid when it comes to following guides, or my head is just a size that is alien-like.
I recently got an A3 printer, which made me very excited to get going on this again, making it easier to print large parts. But before I start again this time, I want to be absolutely sure I got the right scaling, I don't want to lose my motivation again and not build that dream costume.
I would appreciate any help you awesome folks can give me with this, I'm going with the pepakura method (as you probably have guessed by my mentioning of the A3 printer). It's just my preferred way of working, foam and I don't get along well.
Cheers for reading so far and I hope you can help me out!
