On a scale of 1-10 skill level, where would this fall? I have absolutely no experience with pep or foam. I have built a few Storm Troopers though. Am I missing something or do I have to join 4Shared to get these?

Looking forward to the updated Chest and Thigh files! Thanks

GlennTech, how different will the V.2.0 Back and Thigh be from V1.0? I'm trying to figure out if I should wait to start the back and maybe redo my thigh with the new pattern. Thanks!

This will be my first attempt at a foam build so I will patiently wait for the new files. Thanks!

I just wanted to give some people a tip with the files they currently have from Glenn Tech.
Using Pepakura Designer just use this function which will clean everything up and have more smoother pieces that are easier to understand and build. I use this a lot.
right now they look like this:
Before
use the "Join Adjacent Edges" Function as shown
enter the value of 1.00 which is probably default and you're done.
hope this helps. it will definitely clean it up and have it less complicated looking with all the lines over it.
you can even play around with the number to 2.00 or even 3.00 for even less lines on some sections. I just used 1.00 as an example to show the difference.
I'm sure Glenn is doing this from the looks of his chest already for the new V2 files files to come.
So he has you covered for this armor.
but keep it in mind for other future files you mod yourself to make it easy on yourselves in the long run.
good luck everyone.

Hey Glenn. I figured I'd help out a little. I made the Chest a little more "Green" with a few reduced pages.

What I did was remove some unnecessary detail pieces on the ribs that the foam thickness will create on its own.
and I removed the some parts that are mirrored. as you can just take that piece and flip it onto the foam to create the opposite side.
if you need some info on what I mean. Please see this video.
