Hello there! Welcome to the forums!

First off you should upload your pictures to a picture hosting site, such as Photobucket, since your photos are on your computer only right now, we cannot see them!

Done. i have to google it first ~.~

If im seeing this correctly your using regular printer paper which will cause it to fail once you go to harden it with resin... if it is .. might wanna restart now before you resin and go with no less than 110 paper. And not to "jump" or sound harsh .. like ive been told great work, now read the noob help section and the pepakura crafting for noobs. itll give you a TON of answers that may take ALOT of reading but in the long run...

PPL here will love you for it !

I ran around in the dungeons here for months before posting a thread here and made sure to read everything that was in the stickies for noobs ...

Welcome! I'm a noob like you i suggest you to read the guide that you can download in the following link:

that guide helped me a lot, it gave me all i needed to start my project.

First of all, I think that it is not too shabby for a first pep, I have seen worse! (I myself made a worse one than you! ) Anyways, change to some heavier cardstock instead of paper. And you might want to turn on the edge-IDs so that you can more easily see where to put all the tabs. Although your work without and IDs look pretty good, I believe that it would help as a beginner to take an easier piece, use edge IDs and work your way up to HD helmets without IDs.

Anyways, pretty good job there! Keep working on your pepwork until you get a really good piece, out of cardstock of course, and then you could start thinking about strengthening it!

For a first pep, you chose one of the most difficult helmets. The Halo 4 MC helmet is one of the most complex files out there. I understand that you may wish to build MC from Halo 4, but I would highly suggest starting with something a little simpler to really get the hang of how a pep model goes together.
As far as the helmet you have now, I would chalk it up to a learning experience and move onto something easier for the time being; then, when you have some experience under your belt, come back and try it again. There's potential there!

at first thank you al for your feedback. i youse 120g/m² paper and i know its a very difficult helmet but i think the helmet was the difficult part of the armor the shoulder or hands compared to the helmet "easy". My goal is the mark VII but i know im a noob so i decide to not paint it in the end like the original green i will put a carbon foil on it so the crappy details were i failed are not so much to see and first i gonna read the noob threads and the tipps. and maybe i do the railgun or DMR.

Hey dude, good effort in the craft, but try some 200 cardstock, superglue and scoring the fold lines, most importantly take your time

from the word of experience; dont even try a weapon yet - i thought id give a magnum a bash after having gotten pretty decent with pepping - and turned out awful. Weapons really are a donkeys rear end to try, if your desperate to do a gun id say trying a covenenant plasma pistol or plasma rifle with the detail dialed down a tad.
