So I live in Argentina and there are a lot of materials which I either can’t seem to find or they are probably called another way.
So I ended up buying regular A4 Paper of 120 grs/m which I hope will survive the resin/fiberglass strengthening.
So after a lot of research and seeing the cool results people got from pepakura, I decided to give it a shot.
I started off trying to build a HD Assault Rifle, but I left it because it was to difficult to assemble.
Then I went on with a easier AR and this is what I made.
I added some details from other models and the barrel looks like it is off but that’s the angel of the photo, I kinda suck as a cameraman, sorry for that
After that I peped the Handplates, first they where to small and then they came out to big so eventually I will redo them.
(There's also the helmet tester on the floor)
And if you are thinking: “Why does he has such an awkward ring finger?”
It’s because I also suck at handball, go figure!
Then I tackled the HD MKVI Helmet, that was one though cookie but I think it came out alright.
So, today I went and bought some materials like Fiberglass, Resin and paintbrushes (I already bought a respirator, was the first thing on my list), among other things.
After talking to some fiberglass sellers I still had some questions, first is one fiberglass layer enough to strengthen a piece (the helmet)?
And how do you make sure that the fiberglass gets everywhere, I’m especially concerned about how I’m going to reach over the visor.
Any suggestions are going to be appreciated.
(Like I said I’m from Argentina so the grammar probably sucks, sorry for that. And it is my first post ever so no idea if this will go right the first time, I'm talking about the pics)
Oh, and I almost forgot, could somebody send me the unfolded HD codpiece, shins and thighs? Because I can’t seem to find a working download link.
