Step 13Completing the clone
Export the model as 3ds, again with the size-rectangle beside it. Unfold it in Pepakura, again with the vertical cut-structure and the settings used before. Do one leg first and then the other, don't bring parts of both legs on one site. Mark the parts of one leg on the printing sheets with a letter that you don't mix them up.
The open side has got to have flaps to fix the artificial cardboard-hip, as seen on the picture.
Don't fix the soles yet, they are done at the very ending.
After you have glued it all together, cut a hole in the cardboard-hip-plate and glue it to the trousers like on the picture. Before you fix the soles, you have to join both halves.
Therefore, let your lower body stand on the floor alone (If it doesn't stand safely, it may help to glue the soles already) and carefully put your upper body on it to test if it fits. If it does not fit, you have a problem. Then try to make parts smaller with cutting along the glue lines and gluing it tighter.
If it fits, give a good portion of glue onto the lower cardboard hip and put the upper body on it. Then glue the hands into the pockets of the trousers carefully flap by flap. Skip flaps and glue them later, don't do them in a row. It is important that you first gain stability, then you can care for optical issues.
You can still help out through the bottom of the shoes. If you are desperate about not getting things glued, cut a hole in a face, help through this hole to glue faces together, and print this face again to glue it over the hole.
When you are done, let it dry for 5 minutes, carefully try to lift it. If it holds together, lay it flat on the floor (a bed or something soft would be nice) and attach the soles. Cutting a hole into them before your fix them like on the picture is strongly recommended to prevent frustration attacks.
Lift him up again and admire his appearance.
