    Paper thickness...

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the responses. I thought I had read somewhere, but I couldn't find it again, that the thickness had to be taken in to account. After reading SEBRET's response, I understand why it "might" come into play. With the chess board being made of individual flattened cubes...

    Paper thickness...

    OK, so I think I have got Pepakura down enough to be really dangerous with it.... I have a question, however. How do you take into account the thickness of paper when designing these models? Honestly, although I have built a number of these models in the past month, every single one, so...

    Walz Hardcore Cycles Mille Miglia papermodel

    Wow, just found this post. I think I will be visiting that site mentioned above and trying my not so skilled talents on this for my friend who just had to give up his scooter due to a medical problem. I think he might enjoy having something like this around. Thanks, CdirtO

    Great SciFi spaceships overview

    Interesting site. I, too, think that is a pretty neat site. Of course, I also think that quite a few pretty interesting ships have been left out. What is even more sad, I'm old enough to remember most of those ships and the movies or shows they belong to.......wall1 Ah, well.... The good...

    Single edges in Pepakura

    Oh, I forgot. I haven't really had a chance to play with Wings3D. I have Sketchup on my work PC, so I can play between software crashes at work! CdirtO

    Single edges in Pepakura

    Hi again, Don't ask me how I did it, but after 3 complete rebuilds of the bottom of the box in Sketchup, it came out clean! No single edges! Not a one! Now to go on to complete the upper portion and the interior pieces. This design process is a pita, and at the same time, fun. Ahh, the price...

    Single edges in Pepakura

    Sorry for the late reply, Legion. I'm trying Wings3D for fun. We'll see what happens. It may be a bit before you see me back here to post about it. CdirtO

    Single edges in Pepakura

    Thanks Legion. I know that the one big culprit line that is giving me most of the grief was doing the extra flap thing the first couple of times i unfolded the box. Now, unless I force a flap there, I get none! I did go in and rebuild that line to be a single one and am still getting the red...

    Single edges in Pepakura

    Hi guys, I am playing with Pepakura so I can learn to create these great models and I have a question. After creating the box, (I am recreating one of my wife's favorite games), exporting as a 3ds file, and importing it into Pepakura, I see the 3d image in color. Great. However, there are a...
