havin trouble with pep

[CrAzY CH13F]

ok i printed out all the nets onto paper and then i used a ruler and 2 different colour pens to fold and it worked ok untill i got to folding the little flaps, which i managed to do but for some reason at some joins there where was a hole maybe big enough to fit a pencil lead through am i doing something wrong and also, is card easier to do than paper pep?

 

[LastSpartan]

Can you post a pic of it?

I don't reminder of any "hole"

And which part of are you doing? Helmet?

 

[CrAzY CH13F]

actually i think it was my positioning of tabs that was a bit off anyway im makin a slightly larger helmet because the paper one was to small so now im just cutting it out of card, can i ask where you started piecing together the helmet, last time i did it i started from top down but then it all started to lose its shape so where should i start?

 

[LastSpartan]

Wait before glueing everything up. Cut and fold each pieces, then assemble.

I started with the jaw.

 

[CrAzY CH13F]

yeah thanks dude, last time i did use the pe nand ruler method but this time il be more thorough, so the jaw is the best place to start?

 

[LastSpartan]

I don't know

Just assemble everything at the same time, to avoid moving the glued parts to much.

 

[CrAzY CH13F]

what do you mean at the same time. =[

 

[LastSpartan]

I mean, don't start the jaw like friday, then the visor one week after, lol

 

[CrAzY CH13F]

so just do it all in the same day, ok thanks for the advice and i meant by the tabs being out of position maybe because i was rushing and then it slipped and i didn't notice. thanks anyway, il most likely start getting the pen lines done then fold and glue tomorrow.

 

[LastSpartan]

And use hot glue (low temp) so the pieces won't move before the glue dry

 

[CrAzY CH13F]

well i use super glue and that drys really fast but i only have a small tube of it =[, i have a hot glue gun so just low temp?, won't the glue into blobs if it doesn't get glued to the paper?

 

[LastSpartan]

Just don't put to much glue and it will be perfect. Don't forget, low temp, or you'll burn yourself.

 

[CrAzY CH13F]

wen i used the super glue my fingers were really hard afterwards, so for the hot glue gun are normal glue sticks alright to use?

 

[LastSpartan]

Normal sticks.

 

[CrAzY CH13F]

the semi translucent ones?

 

[LastSpartan]

There's not 15 different glue sticks. Just buy the cheapest.

 

[CrAzY CH13F]

cool, any other tips you can give me whilst im assembling?

 

[LastSpartan]

Stop stressing, it's not that hard

 

[CrAzY CH13F]

lol ok thanks for the advice, il get progress reports to tell you how im getting on, apparently my glue gun doesn't have a temp setting how do i get a low temp?

 

[LastSpartan]

And you can send me PMs.
