Ghost and I would like to extend our warmest Christmas wishes to you all! I'm very grateful to have found such a fun-loving and helpful community of cosplayers, and I hope to become more involved this upcoming year. And thank you, Duke! No, I didn't use anything to harden the paper. It's just...

Many apologies for how slow my progress has been lately. I work in retail and, as I'm sure you can imagine, it's been mass chaos with Christmas approaching. But the good news is my paint job is finished! I decided to go with the Turquoise Shell for my Ghost. Here's the in-game screenshot: And...

Aww, I'm so glad I could help someone here! The thing you did with folding the small pieces against the razor blade is an awesome idea and I wish I'd thought about that while I was doing mine. Those grooves were a huge pain! But in any case, this looks great so far, and I can't wait to see how...

And the Traveler said, "Let there be light." And it was so. I did manage to get the lights I had working (many thanks to PerniciousDuke for helping me with that), but in the end I decided to go with some store-bought lights for the sake of convenience. Unfortunately, the battery pack was a...

I think I get what you're saying. I don't have an Ohm meter, so I'll have to keep playing with it until I can figure out which one goes where. Thank you for giving me a starting point, though. You've been a great help. =)

I don't have an Ikea anywhere near me, but I do have Radio Shack, which specializes in electronics. I bought a small LED and a switch to play around with today. I got the LED to light up when attaching it directly to the battery, but I can't seem to figure out how to connect the switch to the...

Thank you! I'm rather proud of myself so far. Hopefully I can keep it up. I don't anticipate myself needing too many lights, as the Ghost isn't very large (only about five inches across). I'm more worried about where I'm going to put the wire and batteries. But I'll figure something out...

When I first started this project, I made the mistake of jumping right in and going straight for the helmet (unfolded by the Infantry's own NoMaybeYes). That's probably part of why I gave up for a time, but alas, that is my nature to go big or go home. This time, however, I had the fortune of...

Greetings, friends, and welcome to my humble thread. As the title suggests, I am in the process of making a cosplay of my Warlock character from Destiny. This is my first pepakura project, and here I will document my journey as I create my build. I had originally started this project back in...

Wow, you guys have been doing great together! Your daughter looks so happy in those pictures, and I think it's fantastic that you two are into cosplay together. =) I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

The helmet and the bottom of the arm piece look pretty good, although it looks like you started to lose the shape a little bit at the top of the arm. Still, I think you did great work! I'm still pretty new to this myself, so I can't offer you much advice except maybe on building materials. What...

Oh, okay! That's good to know. I think I may be set to tackle this thing once I finally get all the pieces cut out now. I'll get back to you once I'm done, and thank you again!

Ah, it's the master artist himself! Good to meet you! I hope I can do your work justice. There are a couple areas that I'm a little confused on. On the 721 area in the picture below, I'm presuming that itty-bitty little tab there on the right is supposed to be glued under the side on the left...

I saw something about adding a fan in one of the introductory posts I read, and it makes a lot of sense. With me living in the Florida heat and humidity, that's something I should definitely try to figure out how to do. I'll have to play around with it and see what I can come up with. Thank you!

Thank you for the advice, Crimmson! I'll definitely give that a try. It sounds like the best way to go for this particular build. Mux, I did actually find a tutorial about this measuring process a short while ago. Here's a link to it if you'd like to give it a look...
