So if you print out the pieces and get discouraged, it’s ok. I’m pretty good with fitting pieces together and 3D orientation but not everyone is made that way. Sometimes, I feel like pep is a little overkill because of all the details for every fold but it gives you a good starting point.ĥ) Oh and I have to mention, this method is not for everyone. So just keep in mind, these are very detailed down to every fold so it will take some time to finish the projects…but they will come out awesome. However, if you are using craft foam and then using vinyl over it, or anything else over the craft foam, that’s three times the work. If you are doing this only using paper, it will already take a lot of time. I will create another post for more organic armor but the pep databases are much more useful for costumes that would be made out of metal: Gundams, Star Wars robots, Halo suits, Mega Man, etc.Ĥ) It takes a lot of time, paper, and work. Some of the links are outdated or old so here are some useful (not dead) databases to start your search:ģ) Pepakura is good for “metal-like” armor. Otherwise, for a cosplayer, the Viewer is more than enough.Ģ) Know where the Pep databases / galleries are. There is also a Pepakura Designer which is not free but only needed if you are going to create pep designs.
Most files are pre-scaled for someone 6 feet tall so it’s pretty easy to use. Here is a tutorial on how to download, open, and scale your first file. So how do you use Pepakura?
