Briciius, you used dr. fate file and not dcu fate file i presume?
Yes you do.Do I have to get Pepakura Designer to scale them up slightly?
I love all of the foam unfolds, thanks to everyone, but most of the links are broken. They do not let you download the .pdo file. Can someone fix this or direct me to where I can find more foam templates?? Thanks in advance.
I just tried 6 different links, and they all worked, so I'm not sure which links you are talking about. If it opens as gibberish when you click on it, then right mouse-click, select save target as... or save link as..., and it will save as a .pdo.
it looks awesome. foam can be tricky to build and is more dependent on skill than paper pep imo. its off because of your assembly tech...read the first page of this thread. the great one took a lot of time to walk us all thru his kungfu. its not bad but you can achieve a sharper look with better assembly tech. watch his videos and also durkness videos on how he builds youll see what i mean. practice make perfect. blackdynamo advised me once to build as much as i can. theres also a lot you can do to the foam helmet once ist already built to enhance angles smooth edges or add detail. once you seal paint and weather it'll look awesome. the next one you make will be even better.So i decided to do this as opposed to fiberglassing and trying to bondo everything. However the problem i ran into is that the project looks off, i was wondering what i did wrong. I used
6mm foam and cut the pattern directly to the foam.

And as you can see below this is the end result, its seems ok but its off for some reason, an the second pic is the parper version. Should i just glass and bondo the first one or retry the foam. It seems easier to foam cut and glue.

Cut all your foam parts first with no particular angle, some quite right angles would go well, and then, only while assembling, you can adjust inclination edge after edge.
