"Help!" for: Papercraft or Pepakura

By visor, do you mean the Up-Armor? It's the third armor permutation of the CQC (If you count the "default" one too), with the thing over the top of the helmet and the box on the right ear?
If yes, then that IS in the http://405th.4shared.com db. It's under Reach -> Helmet -> Attachment -> UA -> UA [CQ] (Reach CQC helmet attach MS7).pdo

Some of the other ones in that folder might work as well, but that one is labeled to be for CQC so give it a try!

As for the HUL, it's in that Attachment folder, just leaf through the HUL folders and pick one you like.

Most helmets are meant to have the attachments seperate, so you can do what you want with them!

Awesome, thanks a ton! I need to just download the entire database.

I'm noticing that as I am peping the helmet the paper is warping and I am wondering in what stage do i fix that? do i fix it after i fiber glass and sand/fill them out or do they need to be fixed in this stage and if so how do I do that?

You need to fix it as you're going, it depends on the piece, but you definitely need to fix it prior to resining it.

Hi, I was wondering if there was any order I should pep a Mk VI helmet?

[misfitjh]

Well I always start at the top and work down from there, but some people start at the visor and work around but you'll develop your own style as you go along.

Hey i'm looking for pep COVENANT HEAD like this one :



or something like that :



i can't say why i need this because it's a secret but if i find what i want the secret wil no stay a secret for long time

thanks

Well, you won't find these on the costuming index. You could maybe try 4shared.com.

Thanks, that really cleared things up for me. I have one more short question. Is there any particular order I should pep the helmet in? My last attempt led to some distortion, and I figured I had assembled it starting at the wrong place. I started at the very top of the helmet, working my way down. Should I go by the numbers on the flaps, or is there another way? Thanks.

There is no particular way you have to do this. I personally like to start from the front and go back, allowing be to know ahead of time if the helmet fits or not. But you can take it any direction you want. What's important is to choose a direction and keep pepping that way throughout the entire piece. I wouldn't go by the numbers, as that would result in a lot of confusion, since many of the numbers are very mixed up.

I feel like the scaling for just about everything is different.. for instance I scaled a master chief helmet and pilot helmet the same and my pilot helmet came out like jumbo sized... I thought that I had done something wrong so i went back and redid my calculations and same thing still happens

[TheRabbit]

Yes, the scaling for most models will be different because they were modeled by different people, or not based on a common attribute.

Hi 405th! A noob here. This is my fourth question, but I have reason to be paranoid, haha. I've recently printed out and cut a MK VI helmet by ROBOGENESIS. I was reading some project threads when I saw a person who "had to scrap [his] helmet because [he] built it without supports, and it warped out of repair". Now, I really, really hate cutting paper. The ROBOGENESIS MK VI helmet doesn't have supports in the pep. How can I support the helmet to keep it from warping so I don't have to cut ANOTHER helmet? (It would be my fourth...)
