So I've done my first ever pep (first ever art-and-crafts thing really). I want to make an entire suit but seeing how long this helmet took, that's gonna take at least a year! I'm really lazy :/
I sometimes had problems getting the numbers aligned just right and the paper got a bit bendy and distorted, but after everything was put together I thought it looked decent enough. There are a few cracks here and there though
I used 160g paper and hot glue. Started from the top and went to the back. I did the jaw+visor separately and glued those two pieces together in the end.
Anyway, here are some pics!
How it looks from the front (durrrr)
I put in the paper for where the plungers/tubes/thingeys are gonna be, because that would've been such a pain and I'm really lazy ^^
Le side view
I think I scaled it wrong... damn it...
My paint-skills are rivaled by no one! :cool
What do you think about my extremely average pep?
Is it worth continuing with or will it look bad? Could it look great if I spend loads of time with the bondo+sanding part?
I'm most definitely gonna make a handplate or something next and do the hardening on that before I continue with the helmet, to learn so nothing will go wrong
