Hi peeps, been a while since I visited and I thought you might like to see some of the stuff I've been doing for the last... erm... too long LOL
First is my unfold of a Jurassic Park model someone gave me to work on, it took me a little over a year to finish as I was doing it only part time...
Just thought I should let you all know that this project is temporarily on hold, while I'm still doing the pep work I will probably not be doing any resin or filler for a while until I know how things are going to go with my back.
I got my X-ray results last month and I have a Narrowing disk in...
Very professional looking work and when I start my own RC build (got to finish the IronMan MKIII first) this is exactly how I plan to do it, I'm going to subscribe to this thread just to make it easy for me to find when the time comes... Well done!

If you want more pepakura files try looking over at the RPF forum where there's all sorts of builds going on, I personally am doing a MKIII Iron Man suit from the files...
Great start so far and I hate to be the one to tell you this but it's a lot easier to fill and sand if the helmet is in one piece ;) Which model are you going to build suit wise?
I'm currently putting a MKIII suit todether using Dancinf Fool's files and Sharkhead's helmet which looks so cool I...
Your helmet rocks Sharkhead the teeth are a bit tricky but it looks the mutts nuts so far, I'll upload a better picture of it when I get some new batteries for the camera ;)
I've done one of your two Barbute files and am currently working on the open faced one as I type but I'd be very greatful if you can let me have the other OBJ files so i can do them for myself, if your doing PEP friendly models then I suggest you strip out the rolled edges and rivets as those...
For Gilda...
Here's the two parts she wanted unfolding Kat Robot Arm 420mm and Kat Thigh Attachment 20mm, sorry I don't know who made the models so I can't honour them with a mention here :(
