My First Attempt

[Killdnaction]

I finally finished my first pepa helmet, I used Dannyfoodforless's HD Model. I think the build went pretty well, next time around I want to try Flying Squirls. It was very fun and definitely a learning experience. So let me know what you think with some CNC and I will post more pics as I go.

For a first attempt, it's great. A few dents here and there, but nothing bondo can't fix

Looks good for your first. As mentioned, there is nothing wrong that can't be fixed with bondo. Good job and keep at it!

This topic just reminded me of something that has been bothering me for a while...
Why do people use "defiantly" instead of "definitely"??

I know at least 5 people now who do that.

Very nice job! If you mean mine by saying DoC's helmet, it's not mine it's flying_squirl's

 

[Killdnaction]

Thanks for the reply's, yeah I think I spelled it wrong and when I tried to fix it via FireFox spell checker I chose the wrong one. But oh well... Fixed now.

nice job, but what kind of card(stock)/paper did you use?

it looks to me as if you could use some stiffer paper, that might go a long way!

I used 110lb Card Stock, I did not know there was some tougher stuff other then going with the artistry board.
What else is there?

Hope to get the Fiberglass done this week end.

 

[spartancaboose]

Ok did not know they have 118 or I would have used that instead, thank you for the heads up.

 

[Zenzeigan]

it seems you had pep problems at the back of the helmet, where the "Spine" ontop of the helmet ends, looks abit out of shape, but that may be me...

then again, not only i, but many more people had problems at that very place on this helmet, did this happen to you?



otherwise, good for a first try!

No problem looks pretty good for a first

 

[Killdnaction]

Yeah the back was a bit tough, I think I handled it a bit too much and bet the card stock more then it should have been.
Kinda gives it a odd look but easily fixable with some bondo. But its not really out of shape other then the small dents cause by my fingers.

Nice pep dude, what color you gonna paint it?

 

[Killdnaction]

Probably White / Blue Strip. Automotive Paint, Polished to a Shine, and Clear Coat Gloss. Kinda Going for the NAS look.

 

[spartancaboose]

Sounds like it's gonna look really good, can't wait to see it finished
