First pepakura... AoT mask! Sorry not Halo

[Onthebus]

Decided to start my first pepakura which is just a small AoT mask.

Nice work, and its ok not everything in the forums is "Halo" oriented. There are plenty of Mortal Kombat, Iron Man, and various others.

It's so hot here so my first coat of resin is already almost dry... I guess resin will be done tonight

 

[Onthebus]

Mkay almost all the resin is dry now.

I kinda forgot to add my rondo picture and the sanded down bondo but eh I got a dremel and tried adding damage and what not.

I found a dull metal paint and decided that it looked pretty so I got it

 

[Onthebus]

Mkay I'm almost done just a few more modifications. I ended up putting mesh over the eyes and added some red and black paint. Hope you like it!

Hahaha thanks! I'm thinking about making some ODST stuff now. Hopefully I don't noob it up too bad.

a few things to consider with the ODST build, just take your time and dont rush, that could be said for any build. there are plenty of ODST builds floating around that you can draw inspiration and motivation from.

Thanks for the tip. I was gonna try to take as much time as I need. Do you know whether a foam or pep build would be easier?
And on a side note about my mask up there ^^^ I'm thinking about taking a welding mask and taking the head strap part off to attach my mask to so I can flip it up.
Any other suggestions??

 

[drizzetsrevenge]

to be honest, i dont know which would be easier. the welding mask strap would probably be a good idea. i think a company actually makes AoT masks for airsoft

Yup! They're called coldblooded art. What do you plan on making your ODST build with?

 

[drizzetsrevenge]

im going to pep everything, but i will use EVA for the chest core, school starts on monday, so i dont think ill get a ton of work done

 

[Onthebus]

Mkay that's what I was thinking about and yeah I need to finish all my summer reading... still got 17 days so I'm good.

Okay I'm gonna add some rust color to the mask. I'm trying to go for an explosive look and I saw a few pics of cars that caught on fire or exploded and they have a rust to them I guess cause the fire messed with the oxygen around but eh that chemistry... done with that class

Man, the scarring/battle damage looks awesome. It works well with this piece, so it's nice that you didn't have to spend too much time sanding. Be prepared to do a lot more of it with halo armour. Unless you really want it to look that battle damaged.

The welding mask idea is cool, but you probably don't even need anything that heavy duty. I've seen plastic face shields that have the same kind of flip up headband mechanism.

It see your bondo is thick, make it pretty thin when sanding, the thicker it is the more work has to be done, and its kind of a waste of good bondo!
