I want to start making Metal Gear Rex, do I print it directly on paint or do I need to resize it?

or does anyone have it in .pdf?

I made that, it went together perfectly. Just beware, the template I had was half Shagohad parts.

ideally, youll want to run the template through photoshop and clean it up a bit because the original scan is kind of dirty. and as long as youre in photoshop splitting up the parts between rex and shagohad is a good idea to save ink. resizing the pieces is also easily done in shop. but doing all that is easily another hours worth of prep.
i keep meaning to do all that and make a pdf, but i havnt got around to it yet.
as for printing dirctly from paint,as long as its not printing single pages across multiple pages it should work fine, but i havnt tried.

What program did you use to print? If you're using MSPaint, then God help you. I've NEVER printed images with that program because the default settings are horrible, and I don't feel like playing around with settings over and over again for EVERY PAPERCRAFT I PRINT.

That said, there are some things that work, no matter what program you use. If the design isn't already conveniently separated into different files for each page, you have to shrink the HELL out of your margins, and make sure to turn OFF the "Fit to Page" option, because otherwise it will shrink your image to (duh) fit all on one page.

And don't use Windows Fax and Image Viewer. There is only ONE option with that one: 1 inch margins all around, fit to page. You can't change it, AFAIK.

I use Irfanview

Fit to page and respect aspect ratio work wonders together

For XP, the default windows printing program works fine... I threw a copy of ACDSee on my PC; it's good for tweaking print settings as well, and for when I'm editing patterns, I have an ages-old copy of Paint Shop Pro 5 -- old, but reliable, and once again, you can print without cutting off edges.
