id say for 5'9'' a scale 451 should work. also the most important tools you can use are reference pics or action figures and the the measuring tool in the pepakura program.
i posted this on another thread thought it might help:
scaling and sizing can be tricky. its been my achilles heel for my personal builds being a big guy. but ive learned a few tricks and im still learning. the "measure distance between 2 points" tool is your best friend. based on reference pics and action figures determine WHERE and HOW the armor should fit. if you have access to a general sizing chart based on height it helps get you in the ball park but were not all built the same and these characters are for the most part not anatomically correct so you'll have to take a little artistic license and make the best of it. for example there can 2 people the same height lets say 5'10'': person (a) is generally proportionate so a scale based on height will work for the whole suit. person (b) is the same height but has a longer torso and shorter legs so the scale works for the upper torso and arms but the legs will be too long and the abs too short. do you see where im going here?
then theres also what type build you have skinny fat muscular etc. youll have to fine tune your pepfiles to fit better fit you by either taking it in or adding. and this is easily determined by just scotch tape assembling the pep and test fitting. remember to take into account the thickness of the material you will use on your build. you might end up making a few test pieces but its worth it to get it to fit and look right.
i hope this helps.

out of boredom. . .i'm doing something with this mk42 forearm
This is where it almost went wrong for me aswell.
I imported PDO's to find the right scale for diffrent parts.
I noticed the back was abit tilted, giving me a whole new height.
hope it helps

Hi. Good day.
first. Sorry for this noob question, but I was looking for all this thread and I could not find it. So a really appreaciate if someone can clear my doubt.
My question is about the Shoulders in the armor, I could not find the files about those.
Im using this files to make a cosplay for an event in my country but for more a look for I couldn´t find it.
I know i'm new so sorry for this inconvenient but I really want to know if someone can help me to find the Shoulders files. I already try using the search engine in the forum but with no luck.
PD: Sorry for my english, is not my first language. Please don´t take it as an insult.

You'll have to use someone else's files for the missing pieces.
Here is a link to some other files that are good.

Oh! I see. :confused Yes, I think it will work.
Thank you for respond.
So you know, the reason why those pieces are missing is because jackieisrockin has not modeled them yet.
