Hello everyone!
The name is Akunei and I am fairly new to the RPF community.
Recently I decided to cosplay one of my FAVORITE video game characters ever [Megaman Zero] but I was sad to see that there were nearly no Megaman Zero pep files out there other than his form from Marvel vs Capcom 3. Since I didn't want to cosplay that version of Zero [yet!], I decided to go hunting for some Megaman models, and lo and behold, I found this sweet Zero file.

However, because the model was not made for Pepakura [it's specifically made for that Miku Miku Dance program that used to be really popular back in the day], I had to haphazardly edit the model so it would be useable.
Since this was
NOT MY MODEL initially, I am sad to say that
I will not distribute it. It would be an insult to the owner of this beautiful model and the last thing I want to do is to anger/offend her. [There was major drama in the past regarding the distribution of her models and
as to her wishes, I will not distribute it.]
So far here is what I was able to get done!
Legs, feet, anklets, arm gauntlets, wristlets and chest piece were successfully edited for Pepakura. [Pictures below]

Arms and wristlets hardened with Titbond II WoodGlue. Left arm has be coated with one layer of putty and then one partial layer of Bondo [Not completed].

Shoes on their own. [I left the back portion open so I can see if the shoes fit]

Test run of all of the parts; shoes, anklets, armlets, arms, legs, wristlets and chest.
Currently working on the helmet, however I am having a LOT of trouble modifying it [merging vertices, edges and deleting faces].

As you can see, the helmet looks like its one piece, however the parts are separate and overlap like crazy.
I have tried multiple times to fix it as best as I can, however either faces invert, or parts refuse to connect. Is there anyone with modeling experience out there willing to give this a shot? I would greatly appreciate it. {My modeling experience equates to a potato. I just know how to delete faces, merge vertices and edges somewhat. Other than that, I am clueless].
Thread will be updated with more photos of my progress soon!
Thanks for reading!
