You can open the V1 files with designer, but V2 can only open with viewer, just clearing that up

Finally finished a build of a helmet that I think will fit (.98) - it seems to at least. I'm about to coat it and will do the fiber glass/resin this weekend. but it leads me to 2 more questions. And I couldn't really find answers anywhere.
1)the model comes in 3 pieces - what techniques work best to attach the faceplate and jaw to the helmet? Do they have to be permanent and if so how to separate them afterward? (dremmel tool I assume?)
2)I've seen several notices to cutting out the back to fit the helmet on your head after attaching the jaw and the faceplate. Where is the best place to cut it and what are the best options to re-attach it once you put the helmet on? Magnet? clips? None of the hundreds of pictures of helmets that I've seen show this at all.
thanks!

Works with viewer but how do you change scale in pepakura viewer.
Thanks for anwser!

You can't. That's why there are so many "pre-built" scales of the helmet. You just have to file of the scale that you want.

and if you can't find the scale you need then, you can request it in this thread and wiil be uploaded
Well I'm a shorty(155cm-still growing) and I saw if you are still growing add 8-10cm to your scale. So that makes me 165cm?
If anyone want to make that for me...thank you!

may I ask how old you are? because if we're still talking about the helmet, I don't think you need to add 10cm. I doubt your head will grow that much
Then which scale should I use?may I ask how old you are? because if we're still talking about the helmet, I don't think you need to add 10cm. I doubt your head will grow that much

measure your head from era to era an add 1 maybe 1½cm then build darksids test fit helmet to verify the scale that you will need
You mean from ear to ear or?

Yup. Ear to ear. Head width measurement.
its 15-16cm wide(if we are talking about straight ear to ear not around the head ear to ear) and add 1cm -->17cm?
And do you mean I need to build a whole test helmet just to see the scale?

Right, straight ear to ear (not around the head).
That is what many people do, but if you feel comfortable building a helmet around the measurements that you have then you don't necessarily have to build the test helmet.
Yes I want to build a helmet around the measurements that I have but which should I take from V2 helmet? Since .88 is the smallest one...

Just wanted to share my progress with you guys.
Chest painted and arc reactor installed. (just have to finish one gold part on it)
Still working on the rest. Pepping and fiberglassing the arm.
Trying to make a brace with neck that can open and close to fit my head tru.
ps. i need a pdo file of the part between the chest and the brace. Please PM if you have it.
For those who want it, i made a pdf file for the inlays that come in the innerarm:
Pm me if you need it.

Hi all
I finished pepping my second V2 helmet - I then scaled the test helmet to the same scale so I could use it to create some internal bracing. However, the lines/points on the test helmet not seem to easily relate to the V2, making brace measurements more guesswork than anything else.
Is there any way I/we could get a V2 that could be opened in designer so that accurate measurements could be taken? It wouldn't need to be unfolded - Just scalable and measureable. If not, I'm going to have to scrap yet another V2 helmet, as just clamping the three parts together warps it out of shape
You have every right to say no - I just want to make the best MK7 that I can.
Thankyou.
