My son asked to be a space marine for Halloween and after looking at some build videos online I told him absolutely not. He then asked to be a Guardsman and I thought it didn't look to complicated so I downloaded Pepakura and the patterns you people have so graciously made available. I used the Change Scale option in the 2D menu to reduce the Guards Chest Armor in 10% increments until it showed as being 9.82 inches across (this would put it on my skinny 9 year old about .3 inches large but with the BDU's I thought it should work). I arranged the pieces and made sure the paper was set to 8.5x11 and sent the PDFs to FEDEX to print on card stock. When I picked them up they printed with a 1/2 inch margin and I could tell right away they were way to small, not even close to the 9.82 inches I thought I has set it to. Did I miss a step? After the fact I noticed the section in "Print & Paper" to change the margin to zero. Will that fix the problem? Also, will it size the rest of the armor pieces proportionately if i reduce by 10% increments the same amount of times I did the chest armor?
Thanks in advance
