Re: Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files
Here are the files I have from your cloud drive. They are the last three on the list:
Iron Man MKVII Upper Forearm by Darkside501st - FOAM EDIT BY ironmaided.pdo
Iron Man MKVII Upper Forearm by Darkside501st - Modified FOAM EDIT BY ironmaided2(1).pdo
Iron Man MKVII Upper Forearm by Darkside501st - Modified FOAM EDIT BY ironmaided2.pdo
Sorry just realized that one is a copy. So there is only 2. Thanks for the help.
Yeah, I checked the skydrive and the copy is not there so that had to have happened on your computer after you downloaded it. I did see the two different foam edits and I now remember that ironmaided did do two versions. The first one is a template of my file. The second one is modified from my file. The only difference being that he shrunk down the elbow part. He may have done this because it may have been interfering with the elbow part.
Hi Darkside
First i just want to say thankyou for all the hard work your putting in and for sharing it as well
I am new member and i joined the forum because of the amazing work you and other guys on here do so thank you again
The question i am asking is about the 2nd version paper files, are you updating all the files?
The reason is i have held back doing the chest, back, and abs just in case and done the shoulders, biceps, elbows, forarms as they looked spot on to me and i dont think they would interfear with the main parts fitting together ect.
will there be major changes on the other parts chest ect
thanks for your time
Thank you very much for the recognition. For the version 2 files there will not be any major changes but they will be more accurate than the version 1 files. Most of the people will not notice the differences. Only us costume fanatics that have studied the suit will be able to tell.
ok but what thickness should it be? or it doesnt make any difference? and what about scaling this to my size
For scaling, STEALTH has made some great video tutorials on pepakura and not only can you find your answer there but you can learn a lot more about pepakura by watching some of his videos. Look him up on Youtube. Search for TheHeroTutorials.
For card stock they do not usually measure it in thickness because it is not thick enough to measure. As mentioned, you should look for 110lbs card stock.
This excerpt is from a wiki article on card stock:
Card stock, also called
cover stock or
pasteboard, is a
paper stock that is thicker and more durable than normal writing or printing
paper, but thinner and more flexible than other forms of
paperboard. Card stock is often used for
business cards,
postcards,
playing cards, catalog covers,
scrapbooking, and other uses which require higher durability than regular paper. The texture is usually smooth, but can be textured, metallic, or glossy.
Card stock thickness is often described by
pound weight. Pound weight is the weight of 500 sheets of 20 by 26 in (508 by 660 mm) paper. This differs from how text stock is determined, which assumes 500 sheets of 25 by 38 in (635 by 965 mm) paper. Most countries use the term grammage to describe the weight of the paper in grams per square metre. The term
card stock is used to describe paper with weights from 50 lb to 110 lb (about 135 to 300 g/m²).
STEALTH has a lot of tutorials in youtube on how to use it, and it covers scaling of the pep files. just search for "theherotutorials" GOODLUCK!
