I find the depressed middle section to be very difficult. I had to reprint about half the pieces because I wasn't satisfied with my pre-pep work. What I mean by that is I fold all the pieces and glue any segments together that happen to lie on the same piece, and then I attach it. The middle...

Finished Right Hand Plate! It took too long, because I was reprinting pieces when I messed them up. No detail shall be sacrificed! I've got to print out and cut the rest of my suit soon so that I can return this cameo!

Okay, here's an update: I have cut the Right Handplate, Left Handplate, and Helmet. It's not really possible to tell from this picture, but the cuts are about 99% accurate, with some minor errors by the CAMEO. If you look at the picture below, you will see that I have arranged the pieces away...

Sorry, it has been a while! I've been very busy setting up my Silhouette Cameo, but it is finally working at full steam as of right now! It took hours of tweaking and a couple sheets of cardstock to figure out how to use the thing properly, but I can now see massive progress within the next...

Small update: I am working on getting a Silhouette CAMEO to make cutting pieces much quicker. I'll run by my hobby store to pick one up soon.

Hello fellow Spartans! Everything you will ever want in life is on the other side of a challenge. This marks the beginning of a long journey, fought mainly with an exacto knife and a patience of steel. I am determined to bring to life a Mk. VI Spartan with such detail and splendor that the...

Great work so far!

Great to see you're still active! You are an inspiration to me in the art of perfect pepakura. I am currently creating my own version of your build... hopefully it turns out as epic as yours. Cheers

What's the difference between painters touch and American accents?

When talking about paint, what is black wash?

I used to wrong primer. It's like an interior white primer. There are some runs that I can sand down. After that, would I be able to just put grey automotive primer on top of the previous layer (which is white), or do I need to strip the other primer completely off? Will there be any major...

Nevermind to my previous question, as I found a tutorial... However, I had already went ahead and primed my piece. I used to wrong primer. There are some runs that I can sand down. After that, would I be able to just put grey automotive primer on top of the previous layer (which is white), or do...

Hey 405th. First off, sorry if this is a repost. I've searched for general painting tutorials multiple times, and I just can't find one. If anyone knows one, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hey 405th! So I've got a MK VI helmet (by ROBOGENESIS) that is almost ready for some rebreathers (the tubes on the front of the helmet)... The problem is, I haven't seen anything on this site about actually doing these. What do most people make them out of? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hey guys! I have a MK VI helmet (by ROBOGENESIS) that is almost ready for some LEDs. I went up to radio shack and realized I know absolutely nothing about basic electronics... So I saw a 4 prong LED and a jumbo LED. The problem is, the jumbo LED basically is like... eh.. and elongated nipple...
