So after lurking for quite some time I finally got around to starting a build myself. Now I gotta warn ya the result of the first helmet wasnt pretty. Though to be fair I lost major motivation after discovering I scaled it wrong.( At which point instead of gluing it together it went to tape.)
However the marine helmet turned out pretty good. Though its scaled right for my head it seems a bit large still. (Still has tape which held the glued pieces together.) (Also should point out niether helmet will make it to the resin stage nor bondo.)
For future builds I am thinking of using hot glue instead of krazy glue( it was liquid type with a brush.)
Any pointers or suggestions for future builds would be awesome. Also its nice to finally post. Makes me feel a bit more motivated to do this.
(This was the second attempt at a helmet.)
(This was my first ever attempt at pepakura and I definitely need some more practice.)
P.s I should probably note that I am extremely new to this. I just downloaded the pepakura design program friday and spent sat and today doing these. Give me a few months and I'll get to where the other people on here are. ( kinda noticing nobody posts anything less than a build that is in bondo at least.)
