But there is still a lot of work to do!!!
 
Re: Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files - V2 Biceps Done pg 130!

Is there any chance of getting the V2 Helmet done in the 1.01 - 1.04 scales? I pepped the 1.0 tester and it fits, but I think too snugly. I kind of have a big head. :) When I looked at the overall width of the 1.05 scale, it said it was 198mm wide. I can't do a point-to-point measurement in the viewer, so I can't tell for sure, but I think it might be too big. I'll try to pep out the 1.02 or 1.03 to split the difference, but if you can post the PDOs before I do all the printing and pepping, that would kick mucho ass. :)

My helmet is 1.05 and by the photo, you can tell that is way too big :lol

Awesome! I know it's a huge motivator to have wearable pieces!

it certainly is!

you need to remember too ask for the paper type as well (A4, letter and so on) also, if it's for a cardstok build or foam templates

Thanks! It would be for letter sized paper, for a card stock pep build.

Newb question time - I see lots of posts referring to pep scales in the 22-25 range. All I know how to scale is by using a scale factor based on 1.00 (as in 1.0 = 100%, so .95 = 95%).

Where are the scales of "23.5" (for example) coming from? Is it an older version of pepakura designer or something? I've looked through the forums so please go easy on me :)

Second newb question - if the V2 files are only going to be released in Pepakura Viewer, how can I do point-to-point measurements to ensure the scale of that piece will work for me? Not being able to do that could result in a ton of printing, cutting, then oops...need 1% bigger/smaller.... reprint, recut, etc.

Thanks!

About the handplate. Would you rather keep it in one piece or articulate it with a hinge?

Thanks! Going to build this for a convention in October.

Ok put up a 1.03 scale for you.





I also want to thank FerrousBueller for being a big supporter of my work and for your contributions to this project. Your name has been added to the VIP list and you will get the 2 months early access to the V2 files when they are done.

don't tell me, tell darkside :lol lol
can't wait to see how it turns out... happy peping :lol

Gotcha, thanks. Wasn't sure if posting in the thread was enough or if I needed to PM.

hey man, sorry for the mix up... you don't have to PM darkside if you need a different scale than what's uploaded you can ask him in the thread as well as in a PM if you so choose

to answer your first newb question as best I can... the scale factor 1.0 is for things like the helmet and (hand's I think) and the scale factor in the 22-25 range is for the (bigger) pieces, chest, arms,back,legs etc.

second newb question... the V2 files will be released in pep Viewer but as I recall, darkside said a little while back that he will make test fit pieces of all the armor parts for pep Designer just like the test fit helmet
hope that helps.

Thanks for the help! Test fit pieces would be a big help, especially for the larger pieces.

Ey folks, finally got around painting my foam build. Used 5 coats of pva/water for sealing + grey primer + metallic blue base coat + metallic candy red. Overall im pretty happy with the red, i got that marroonish color that i was hoping for. I plan on changing the gold, coz its a little too yellow for my taste.

*question to the folks in the philippines, any idea what i can use to replace plastidip? I havent seen them available in any hardware i go to, also what kind of gold would you recommend thats locally available?
TIA
