Heres my advice:
rEAD THE STICKIES, they will guide you to which type of helmet making process you want, and give you the basics, then the rest is art and up to you. We'll help you, but you shouldn't ask such a general question. Read the stickies (pinned topics) and we'll help you out. Best of luck and i hope we can get you set up to do some great work.

Look at the OP on this thread and everything but the last two responses. This thread has been dead for a year, and it was made about 4 months before Fraz brought us pepakura so a lot of the answers might be a little different now. Until Fall 2007, there were no n00b rules or n00b forum.
