Clean cuts, clean folds, nice work, keep it up!

Apart from the obvious half-invisible apparency of it I would agree with Frost! Awesome cuts, folds, and connections. What are you using for glue?

 

[florios]

just some super glue i red the sticky i almost used school glue LOL

You know I would really greatly suggest trying some Contact Cement. I started using this and it is SO useful. The problem with needing to push the pieces together before the hot glue dries is COMPLETELY taken away with this stuff, and actually it binds better than the hot glue. You can find all of the info in the Ultimate Pepakura Glue topic. You can buy really small quantities of this stuff, but it lasts forever (you hardly use any) so its worth it.

Good luck with the rest of your build!

I use super glue also. Great stuff if you know how to use it. Keep up the good work.

thanks for for tips every one

Bah. I use Tacky Glue. It sticks well to the cardstock which is a good thing. The only downside is that it doesn't try very fast. But hey, I guess it could be worse.

Maybe I'm just wierd, but for mine I simply used that blue painter's tape to hold everything together. Worked pretty well, too, and now that my Pep helmet is styrened over it's of little consequence, heh heh.

Your own Pep build is coming along nicely, florios. I have to admit this is the first time I've ever seen someone put thiers together starting with the visor (most others either start from the bottom and work up, or start at the top), but it looks good nonetheless.
