    Noble six Helmet (Poss. whole suit?) -Dagoth

    #1
    Alright, joined here a couple of days ago, so hi all!
    Basically, my first project working with anything to make my own costume, so advice is very much wanted :V

    I haven't even started yet, but my slightly scaled down version of the default Mark V[B] Helmet is going to be cut from blue pepakura paper, 12 sheets. I'll try to find the sizes again just to share.
    Might make the rest of the suit afterwords too, provided I find out what materials are good for that.

    EDIT:Pictures of the paper later, left that out.
    -Dagoth
    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    So the Mark V[B] helmet doesn't fit me, and I am now making it for my younger brother. I'll make a new thread in this one, since for some reason I cannot make new threads *shrug*.
    So that being said. here's my new idea! Since my two other cousins (and possibly two more) saw me make that helmet, they'd like their own! How cool is that?
    EDIT: Lol I threw it away, it's still too small for even him :V

              Update: Until I get an exacto knife and mat, I'll be steadily cutting with a pair of scissors.
              Sorry this is so slow! :/

                Sometimes it just takes time. I prefer a sharp pair of scissors to exacto any day, it's easier to control for me. Remember, we don't mind waiting, just make it look amazing, and you'll be a regular Joe here on the 405th!

                  Thanks, means alot man!

                  Freakin A, finally finished cutting the damn pieces, now with my new mat and X-acto!
                  *sigh* Do I feel awake enough to go on to the pep file (To refer to), and start using the hot glue gun today?

                  {3 Day weekend, yeah!}

                    Alright, I'm in love with hot glue!

                    Only had the front's top, and the front half of the scalp done. Really liking how this looks, progress photo later!

                      Alright, as I promised, here's what I have so far: I'm going to go from top front, to top back, if you will.
                      I now agonizingly realize that one top scalp component is just slightly off to the left, but hopefully that won't be a problem.

                      Up early today, so hopefully I can get a bunch done!

                        If you're referring to that front piece just left of the attachment connector area I would consider trying to fix it. If you are using hot glue you can hold the tip against the paper in that area to re-heat the glue and separate the two pieces. You should always try to line the numbers up so that the very outer edges of the digits line up. The better they line up the better off you'll be...if they're off early on in your assembly of the paper you might find the disparity grow as you move on to other pieces.

                        Good luck with utilizing the day!

                          Okay, I'm seriously afraid: Are those circular ear pieces supposed to be a tad high above your actual ears? Because the rest of the helmet looks great.
                          I think may have screwed up somewhere on the sides... will post pics of my doubt tomorrow.

                            Dammit.

                            \Alright, bottom line: I made the helmet too small. It does fit my younger brother though! So I guess I'll finish it for him. Still not sure if I want to complete it now.

                            Now I'm going to try to make a Carter helmet, with the RIGHT scale properties this time... I'll just post a picture of him wearing it when it's finished then!

                              Well hopefully this next one works out. I would just scrap that build and start the new one. Looks like you've been doing a good job from the picture. It would be good to see more progress like that. Keep it up though.
