    That would be an epic helmet mashup. Spartan x DP

    Great work! I was just printing out the paper when I wondered about something. When you print, do you print at 89% or 94% (or you have no idea what I’m talking about)?

    Hah, yeah, no idea what you are talking about? Can you elaborate?

    I figured it out but I’ll go ahead and translate my question into, “Am I suppose to size it in some way when I print it”. Yeah that question was pretty confusing.

    Oops I forgot to ask you this. Did you have any instructions for folding or did you just look at pictures. I’ve been able to fold some easy shapes but the more complex ones I’m a little lost on.
