Since letter and A4 paper are different sizes, the pieces will usually not fit after you change the paper size. You could also go to the following link for pepakura file scaling methods Įach method in the above link is desinged to help you scale your pepakura armour with ease and great accuracy. It is much easier to make a bicep than it is a helmet. Also, print a Bicep with the scaling you have decided for yourself to make sure that it fits properly. After you print, double check that all flaps have numbers on them.
This may help other areas as well, where it could come through a bit tight. So you may want to add two or three inches to your actual height before doing the math. You don't really want the top of your head to be touching the top of the inside of the helmet if you expect it to fit right. Note: Keep in mind: the size of the default scale that's in use before you edit is from the base of the ground to the top outside of MC's helmet. Enter the number you found in step 4 in the "scale" box.pdo file, and go to the "scale" and then "scale factor". Take the number you found in step 3, and multiply it by the current scale (usually around 31.9).Add 4-6 inches to that(If you don't,your armor will not fit).For pieces like the chest, you obviously only need one in the end.Īlso, sorry for the late response.You can use this formula to determine how big you should make your armor: The Master Chief is 7'2" tall (86 inches). You can flip over the template and reuse it to make a symmetrical second armor piece. I would like to point out that whole parts like the gauntlet, shoe, shin, thigh, bicep, handplate, shoulder and maybe some others only appear once in the template. Like this: b -> d It's a mirror image of the original. It just means to trace it on one side then turn the template over and use it on the opposite side to make another trace on the foam. I admit the "Flip x2" is a little confusing.
Some of the edges will get cut off if you use anything other than US Letter, but honestly as long as you have the basic shape, you can guess the bit that gets cut off. I used US Letter sized paper for mine, but you could probably use a4 just make sure to use the original image size when you print and don't convert it to a4 or it will shrink the template to fit the different paper.
