Out of boredom I decided to start a project that I can spend a few hours a week just noodling about on it slowly. Also a very therapeutic way to de-stress myself from work.

Having decided on building myself a set of Emile's armour from Reach, I set myself a dateline to complete this little project by June next year. So here's hoping I will get it done by then. Hopefully before succumbing to loss of blood from paper cuts and/or poisoning from resin fumes.
Pepakura was a natural choice since it would be a hell lot more fun to really do this from scratch. So I got started by making my own 3DCG model
And then comes the fun part.
And as of now, this is how it is after one layer of resin on it.
And when I said slowly, I do mean slowly, that was pretty much one month's work...
So far, the problems I can see are the top of the helmet is starting to sink in a bit. Probably will putty the volume back in. Hopefully after another layer of resin and fiber glassing on the inside, I can sand it down to be all curvy smooth and fancy-like.
Thought it would be nice posting progress reports here for motivation, encouragement and advice when I run into a snag.
Cheers.
