Yes, here's a tip:

Use CardSTOCK, not CardBOARD.

There's also a HD ODST pep file, I'd make that one, and fiberglass that one.

redo the helmet using cardstock, firbreglass inside and resin the outside. then bondo it and get rid of all the nasty polygon shapes. i have a h2 odst in production at the moment just needs a paint job and a visor. but mine is a lot nicer to look at than the polygon knightmare i used to create it. i have done the cardboard thing b4 it does work but it is easier and looks a lot cleaner if ya use cardstock. if you fibreglass this helm it will be a waste of money.

don't worry i we in england can't get cardstock we get card (basically just thicker paper is all cardstock is) for cardstock which is 110lb we need 120-150gsm packs of paper for better explination Paper weight conversion(all cred goes to Ilikecats)


u really shouldn't double post mate u can get warnings for it
for best results use the H3 odst by NZ-TK on the pep indexpep index
just make sure to resize in pepakura first so that it fits your head

if you can not figure out how too scale the helmet PM me and i will help you out. their is a sticky for scaling armor but it is for a certain armour file.

but it is good to try, but that helmet can be tricky abit.

well the thing is... most of the people that make cardboard armor do it becuase they are not allowed to by there parents includeing the fiberglass and resin(teenagers, or little kids), also becuase cardboard is easier to work with (i was told).

If you are good with cardboard and got plenty of it, I don't see why not using it. A little hard to bend, but it beats normal paper. You can always smooth it out with bondo later.

Does Aqua Resin ring a bell?
And I believe Cardboard should be used for scratchbuilding, not pepping.

he may not know what is, i just recently heard about it. Why dont you explain what aqua resin is.

nvm i will. Aqua resin is bsically a non toxic resin that holds just about the same as normal resin. that wasnt hard was it?
