Where would I find the robo pep file? I really like that style.

Hey Dancin_Fool was wondering why the helmet is not in the complete zip file? Is it the one that is just below it?

He explained that there are more accurate helmet files than his original file, so you should use one of those instead

I think I figured it out, my ratio at 5'8" should be 1.431 versus the 1.525 for a 6 footer.That sound about right to you guys?
Really looking forward to getting started on this build....I'm starting at a little under a year for Dragon-Con next fall.

Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed
maybe more like 1.525000 divided by 72 inches (6 feet) multiplied by 68 inches (5 feet 8 inches) gives closer to 1.440278 - if the default scale for 6 feet is 1.525
EDIT however the pep files I have just downloaded give a default scale of 1.639500 which would then be 1.548417 although at 1.525 the unibeam hole is 90mm across which according to the creator http://www.therpf.com/f24/dancinfools-iron-man-mark-iii-pep-files-101543/index9.html#post2177473 is the correct default size

Thanks for double checking that for me I'm going to try the first piece at 1.440278 and see how that fits

Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed
I am having the same problem. Downloaded the all in one zip and was expecting the default scale to be 1.525000 like all of the previous posts said, but I found that all of them are set to 1.639500, except for the arm which is 1.679500.
I'm guessing that the arm might just be an error, but I am quite concerned about scaling the suit at this point. Does 1.525000 still equal 6 feet? or has it been adjusted to the new scale?
DancinFool, anybody, a little help? :confused
Thanks in advance, oh, and this is my FIRST POST here!

Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed
I'll answer all the scaling questions for you, courtesy of Dancing Fool who answered it for me a while back.
Dancing Fool indicated that he was 6' tall. This is scaled for him, so if you're 6' tall, you're good to go. If not, simply do the math like so:
6' = 72", so divide the default scale in this pep (1.6795) by 72" for a ratio of .0233 (rounded). Now, take your height in inches and multiply it by the ratio. I'm 66" (5'6") and multiplying this number by the ratio gives me my scale of 1.50.
The arm may be an error, or it may be scaled to DF specifically. I would say it would be better to err on the side of caution and adjust all pieces to the same scale.

Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed
Thank you for the quick reply!
Yeah, I understand (quite well) how to scale a pep, but thanks for the breakdown - you managed to keep it simple and very clear.
My main concern is with the actual scale of this file and what finished size it represents.
Did DancinFool give you any answer as to why the whole thread references the scale at 1.525000 and from what I can gather that being 6 feet, but then the final zip is set at 1.639500 and now I'm told that is 6 feet as well?
I don't mind experimenting a bit, but I hate re-pepping parts!

The conversation that we had was in reference to his foam edits here:
http://www.therpf.com/f24/dancinfool-iron-man-mark-3-pepakura-foam-150333/
In that thread he said this:
and this:
This was, again, in reference to his foam edits, but the scale number is the same between the foam and standard paper files, so I assume that the correct scale should actually be 1.6395 for a 6' person.

Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed
Now it's my turn for a question... are the shoulders the same symmetrically? I'm not seeing any difference in my pep... is there some small nuance that I might be missing? I'm thinking of casting the shoulder bells so that I don't have to pep the other one.

Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed
Gotta say just by looking at the pep file and taking a few measurements I don't see any differences, it looks like a mirror image from front to back. I used the "measure between two points" feature in pepakura designer and every part that had a mate was an exact mirror image in all of the measurements I took.
Of course, I could be wrong and may have missed something myself...
