Tutorial: How to use Pepakura to make your Mjolnir Armor

[NoMercyJoe]

Uhh..what?

Can people , new never the less , type with some care for the English language and her grammar?

You don't know how to use pepakura (sp..no?). There are many posts on this , and there is a wonderful function called search. (Upper Right)

Read through a few of them , and some of the stickies and you'll know what you need and how to use it.

i dunno how 2 stick it 2getha and make the part

After you get all the pieces cut out you glue it together by matching the numbers on the tabs, 1 to 1, 2 to 2, and so on. Also make sure you know the difference between the mountain and valley folds so you get them confused, I changed the colors so I wouldn't make a mistake. I have blue for the mountian folds and green for the valleys.

The Pepakura Download Database thread is your next best bet. Those links that asked about downloaded just fine for me.

I dont think my comp reads the .pdo format, which is the format the downloads are in, is there a way to fix this? or do i need to trash my comp...?

You need Pepakura Designer. Read this post. It's OP of this thread.

I think you have to follow the little numbers..like 1 to 2...etc...im not 100% sure..you better ask a mod, or an advanced member that has done this before.

Frizz explains it pretty clearly but it goes 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc.

Read the OP carefully then the Pepakura FAQ, the info contained in both of those should answer just about all of your questions.

Seriously, you should try reading all the posts in this thread as well as the other stickies in this section. If you don't have the patience to read all of them, then pepakura is not for you. By your own admission, you're not good at connecting things. Unfortunately, pepakura is all about connecting pieces: connect side with #1 to another side with #1, etc. That's the nature of the beast: assembling one armor piece will take many hours, if not days, of connecting cut-out little pieces together. If I sound mean-spirited, I apologize in advance because that's not my intent. I don't want you to have an impression that pepakura will instantly give you commercial-quality armor and on the cheap.
