Pep Helmet!

[Shade]

Well, just spent a good few hours working on a difficult paper project, haha. Wasn't sure where to post it, so I just put it here.

 

Printed out all the templates and whatnot on 34 sheets of paper (could and should have been less, didn't use the structural support pages.) Took forever and there could still be a few things here and there to correct. Comments and advice/suggestions would be great!

Update!

 

Well, spent the afternoon playing with fiberglass resin and cloth. It got kinda dark, so I had to stop, and the pictures aren't as good either, haa.

Can't wait to see the "final product"

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Wow, man. I needto make some time to try this.

[Shade]

I need to post some more pictures of the progress, lol. I'm not documenting very well

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

And we could move this over to the armor forum, after all, it is armor.

[Shade]

Haha, yeah, that would probably be good!

[Shade]

Well, here's an update of where I'm at right now...needs a good bit of re-shaping. If you have any suggestions about what would make it be more correctly shaped would be much appreciated, haha

 

 

 

the back needs to be fixed too...

 

 

I know I need to build up the left side some more, add more to the round part of the jaw on the right and somehow reshade the dome so it doesn't look like it's turned the wrong way...

I am looking at these through a remote sessions so the images aren't the best, I will try and take a closer look tonight. The overall pep work looks great. What did you use a starting point for your pep file?

[Shade]

I actually used spacecowboy's helmet pep file from over at the rpf forums. Couple different people were working on basically the same thing, lol

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Need to grab that and see if I can mod it for the Shadow Trooper

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

 

Can you actually link to the file location?

 

NM, found it here: http://www.thereplicapropforum.com/f24/pepakura-stormtrooper-helmet-145090/

Oh, lol, sorry bout that, didn't notice your post till now. Word of caution about doing one if you haven't before, card stock or something think than normal computer paper is definitely preferable. I had to reinforce a lot or it because of the "weak" start, but good luck with yours!

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

so time to find some heavy weight paper. My first step is going to be reworking the bucket model as I have been determined to do this for years:

That's going to look really sweet when finished! You should definitely make a build thread once you start!

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Definitely some existing armor out there that can be modded, but some pieces are going to have to be full custom.
