Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files - Password in First Post

i have been working on this build on and off for about 10 months. i wish i had more done. these files are awesome and the work i have seen on here is amazing. i want to get mine looking that good. any pointers, ideas, etc wouold be greatly appreciated. here is what i have so far... it is somewhat of a hybrid as i like the old abs better than the new ones. let me know what you guys think.

First off, the pieces themselves look good....but...you may want to check on your scaling. In your first pic your helmet looks a bit bigger (proportionately) to the rest of your body. Even though your abs aren't for the mk7, they look a bit snug. Don't forget you might have to add a harness, straps, padding, and even additional hardener (fiberglass sheets, fiberglass/rondo) and then any undergarment you'll be wearing.

Some may give you grief on your hybrid, but I say go with what you want. It's YOUR build. It's suppose to be fun and exciting and a thrill to put on a finished product and a joy to build.
 
You are right....I built a couple helmets already and I am going to have to make another. I should have some play on the abs, the short I was wearing was big. I'm planning to wear some tight under armour workout gear underneath. Been having a little trouble with scale though. If I go higher it will fit me around but then it's too long. So I had to modify the arm to get it to fit right. I'm hoping I dint have to the same to the legs. Is it normal to have to do that our am I doing something wrong? As for the different abs I do want to make it my own but I like the rest of the mkvii. Thanks for the feed back

Here's a lil something in regard to scaling. I hope this doesn't upset anyone with this link, but I use many of this guys techniques in my own build.

He makes it as simple as possible. The best line is..."At the end of the day, it's paper."

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Have decided to try and build my own foam suit but I notice when I click on the files on the first page that they are no longer on the one drive. Are the files still available?

Apologies if this has been asked before.

John

It looks like none of Darkside's OneDrive links are working at the moment.
 
Sorry about the files guys, I accidentally cut them out of my skydrive/onedrive folder on my computer and when I put them back in it changed all the links. So I have to go back and update all the links in this thread and every other thread I have written. What a pain, especially since I don't have time for this. :p

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! :) Can I please have the password needed to make adjustments? please message me thank you again for your time :)
 
The password doesn't work? Are you typing the password and then using the mouse to click the ok button? If you type the password and just hit the enter key then you are not actually entering the password because the default button is to open in pepakura viewer. Don't hit the enter key and see if that works.
