Thanks! How small do you need it? It's easy to half, quarter, 1/8th, or 1/16th the size of locked models, you just tell your Print Settings to print two, four, eight, or 16 document pages per each physical sheet of paper. The edge-numbers get pretty small and difficult to read after 1/4 scale, but following the PDO on your computer as a reference ought to be enough help to overcome that. You can also—again, using Print Settings—reduce the scale of locked files by arbitrary percentages. Just set the document to print at, for example, 98%, 90%, or 75% of its normal size.

I just lock my templates so no one can change the text in the files and take credit for unfolding them.
I've heard of that happening to other designers' templates. The scoundrels....

Here were my notes about how I scaled all of my Dark Souls papercrafts . I've been sticking to that scheme with every single one. So, this shield is, in my opinion, a really good estimation of its real life size. I try not to lock stuff anymore (I used to, years ago) without being DARN SURE that the scale I chose should satisfy most people. And I do often do so with that Print Settings trick in mind, but I don't suspect it is commonly known in papercrafting yet... And I don't even know if all printers' software is even capable of that.

If you need to scale it UP, though, then that would need the file unlocked....

I actually managed to figure this out, but thanks for the reply.

I'm being slow... Seems like there's more real-life issues every single week. For instance my bro's car just got totaled in a parking lot a few weeks ago, and then last week my main computer got a virus that limits me to using a Guest account..... On the positive side, also my bro finally got a PS4 this month (which he's letting me use) and I got completely sucked into playing Bloodborne instead of doing anything productive.  I haven't forgotten Artorias's armor, though. It's constantly on my mind----though I'm too well aware that that's not enough to get it done.

I'm thinking that if I finally finish and put my stalled Berserk Dragonslayer papercraft up for sale first, that that might help cover some costs directly related to Artorias's armor, i.e. more advanced 3D software and a huge data storage device.

Nah, don't worry about rudeness. I love hearing that people are interested in stuff I'm making. It's encouraging! I just hope I'm not being boring by divulging too much... I haven't been online much at all this year, so NO ONE really knows where I disappear to in the long spans of time between posting new art things.

You're not being rude at all. And either one of those would be easy to unfold....
