I'd like to think that with my couple of years in the prop maker community I have sharpened my pepakura skills to the sharpest point. So I will put this out that if anyone needs anything to be pepped out I will do it gladly since im looking to have some more experience and interactions in the community as well as to put my skills out there if anyone is interested.

I'm wondering if anyone can point me to a good pepakura tutorial. I haven't used pepakura in a few years and I'm considering it as an option for something I might build. The problem is, I've completely forgotten everything I once knew about pepakura. The muscle memory is completely gone.
I should also apologize to Noble 625. I didn't mean to step on your very generous offer to help people out with pepping items. That's an incredible offer. I'm a little more hands on and want to try and tackle this myself first.

If I can help then its all fine by me.
Cereal Kill3r's video on the subject has always been the best in my opinion and still is even though he just talks about the process and not so much on the program. I just watched a couple of them while looking for some good examples for the nostalgia when I barley knew what I was doing. I hope that he's ok and everythings alright in his personal life since we have'nt heard from him in years.

Bill doran has also made one but ,again, only the process but its nice to see how far he's come.

Software-wise I think that paperhens video has been the most thourough and informative compared to most.

Thanks for the feedback and the links. I really appreciate your help. I read through a post by DaddyfromNaboo as well. Unfortunately, it's several years old and a lot of the links are dead by this point. I love Bill Doran's work and follow he and Brittany on Punished Props and will definitely refer back to their videos for finishing the project -- whichever way I decide to go. Their videos don't focus too much on the actual program though and that's the area where I'm simply drawing a blank. Stealth had a great series on the basics of using pepakura, but I think they are gone too. I'm not sure if he moved them over when he became Heroes Workshop. (I basically just remembered he changed names so I still have to look into that.)
Anyway, I really do appreciate your help and providing the links and I'll definitely check them out -- hopefully they might jar some part of my memory.
