carter helmet build/ marine helmet build

[loxton117]

just started making a carter helmet and halo 3 marine helmet, I've never used papercraft method before and it looks tons easier and cheaper than using apoxie clays and so on
Question? how do you post pics into this?

[loxton117]

i was able to resin and rondo both helmets this afternoon and get picks up

now for the marine helmet

of course neither one is done, still sanding, painting, sealing and padding to do

 

[loxton117]

during the night i rondoed the outside of the carter helm and sanded it back, then cut out the visor . . . and in an experiment i accidentally ruined the gold visor i was going to use so now it shall be silver

thanks a ton for your support guys! I'm also tossing up between which chest piece to make, I'm stuck between the mark V from reach or the Mark VI?

Beautiful job!!! Keep up the great work. I so can't wait to see this one finished.

great work! I'm currently working on the same pep file, found a few inaccuracies with it. Yours looks great! Keep up the good work.

 

[TO8I]

your helmet looks realy good!

 

[loxton117]

well 20 mins after posting my last pics i sanded back some paint to show the silver undercoat for worn effect the visor in the helmet in these pics is just a template. also i personally don't like the red strips along the top of the helmet so i never added them on.

i should be getting some screws to add in my visor soon and tomorrow night i will solder the fans together to stick in

The color look great. Keep up the good work.

 

[loxton117]

i now have the fans done and fixed in, when i got the visor in I'll put more pics up, and weather permitting ill be able to go outside and sand the marine helmet back

Nice job so far, bro! And to think its your first time doing pepakura too.
Btw, which pep file did you use. I've got both and can't decide which one is better to use. LOL

wow, great work so far with the pepping and the overall finish. I liked that you did a silver coat first so you could sand off the outside and make it look weathered. Im making a full Carter armor set to wear and I was wondering, what color's did you use for the helmet?
