Scaling

Templates are scaled to a 5 foot (152 cm) tall person of average build. Scaling beyond +/- 10% is likely to result in complications. I am glad to provide what support I can in situations where scaling beyond this amount is needed. The table below can be used to give you a very rough estimate of where you should start with your scaling.

This table should be used in conjunction with the drawing containing dimensions to arrive at the final scaling factor. Scaling your armor is extremely important. It is recommended that you print paper templates around "critical dimensions," tape them together and check the fit to ensure the piece is at the desired size. It is strongly recommended that you ensure your piece is at the desired proportions before you start cutting foam.

Check out my YouTube video on how to tile and scale the full-sized drawings in Adobe Reader for printing.

Printing

The purchased download will provide you with edit-protected PDFs that can easily be printed from your standard desktop printer using Acrobat Reader. Print with Adobe Acrobat Reader in "Poster" mode. Scale your desired height by setting the "Tile Scale" to the scale identified from the section above. Please note when printing, go into print settings and make sure print sizing is on "Actual Size" and not "Fit."
