Hey all, it has been a very long while since I've posted anything in earnest! Six years, at the very least. Since my last major visitation here, I have indeed been fiddling around with pepakura for a lot more, with limited success, due to time constraints and Bondo. As such, I've lurked around here, and other places, watching and learning, and playing with metal armor-crafting as well, until I have deemed my skills worthwhile enough to return, and to attempt a new medium- EVA foam, and while on my winter semester at college, have begun the slow construction process. Without further ado, here we go!
Apologies for the clutter of textbooks and notebooks, it has been a very busy week so far leading up to a midterm.
Here we have the tiles with all the parts from the front chest piece (by my estimates at least), using the Reach Torso V3 foam template by the illustrious L3X BLU3R1V3R.
And here we have what I have cut out so far of the plates immediately around the neck and frontal chest. frankly, the odd Y-shaped piece is giving me trouble, but I'm thinking it's because of the general need for the collar of pepakura that normally secured it to the rest of the plates, so I will have to look into that when trimming everything into place.
Finally, the massed paperized pep-files, which gave me more than a fair share of grief during the ride back home with these.
Overall, despite my rather rusty skills with a x-acto knife, I find this to be a curious process so far, and look forward to my future progress in this.
