dont think ive ever heard painless and razor blade used in the same sentence. paint thinner works well too just use a brush and put it around the glue.

hey thanks man it looks awesome

im working on the same helm right now and i had a problem with the tiny lips too. but yours looks really good so far keep up the good work

well theres a few wikis with alot of the files on it. theres also a sticky thread here on the forum with most of the files in it you just gotta search around. this is the wiki i use for it http://halocostuming.wikia.com/wiki/Pepakura_File_Index

Now if i say something here that happens in the books forgive me cause i havnt read them. Want to just havnt yet. But what if the halo movies showed cool parts of the story from the games that arnt mentioned in the games? Like in Jarhead where it shows the basic training but it could be of John...

i dont play paintball but i used the paintball masks when i played airsoft. maybe like a thick coat of rondo on top of the fiberglass inside of the helm would be strong enough? idk if i get the chance i might have to test this. Anyone in NC with a paintball gun wanna help out?

yes photobucket is our friend :D lol but cant wait to see your work

if your using scissors that might be the problem. i use a hobby knife personally

i was going to put the teeth around the visor but ill have to do some sketches or something to see the differences between the teeth on the visor or around it. for basic idea of what im shooting for

heres my inspiration for the paint scheme for those unfamiliar with the flying tigers.

yeah balsa wood its really nice for making wooden swords or knives. I had to make a wooden sword for something at school and i used that stuff and a belt sander to give it a nice even edge, same motion as sharpening a knife on a grinding wheel really. looks awesome so far dude :D i might have...
