Hello 405th! For the past few days I've been working on my very first pepakura build. Today I finished gluing the helmet together. Here's some pictures:
As it was my first attempt, and im by no means a creative person, I decided to not go with the HD version of the MKVI.
You might not be able to see here, but theres been a bit of warping in the sun-cap area. The left side rises a little higher than the right. I hope to fix it during the later stages. Any tips?
As you can see on the back, I had a little issue with making 'ends meet' Hope it won't affect the future stages too much!
The top middle section is also a little wonky/warped
That's it so far. Due to University I won't be able to work on this very often, so updates will probably be weekly. Next weekend I plan on doing the resin and fibre glass on the helmet!
Also, I know it doesn't look that great, but since its my first attempt, constructive criticism is very welcome! So are questions, of course.
Thanks guys and update you soon!
EDIT: I'd also like to point out that Im aiming to have my full suit of MJOLNIR MKVI armour completed in time for the London Expo next May. I know this seems like a huge amount of time but due to uni commitments, im really only going to have time to work on this during my holidays.
My Plan:
- Finish helmet by the end of this summer.
- Start and finish Chest and Waist piece during Christmas.
- Start and finish arms and legs during Easter.
