Good day ladies and gentleblokes! How has your day been?
Well, i have some big news. I have completed the pepakura work by about 99% on my recon helmet and its looking great! Now, i have taken some pictures along the way but i will post those -later-.
As for now, i have some questions, as the title may imply about how to finish that dastardly 1%. For your convenience, i have also taken some pictures.
Without further ado, lets get to it.
Here we see the breathing holes. Unfortunately, there are no flaps or such to connect them to the covers. I will apparently have to find a way to glue it on to the little space it has on that flat piece next to the hole, and i can only hope it will fit. Any and all suggestions welcome
here you see the pieces. or as i like to call them for some reason, "tortilla chips" although they are neither tortilla shaped nor chips. heh. go figure.
This bugger is my main problem. how the hell am i to glue it on?
This is what i mean. no flaps, and nothing on the helmet to give me the whereabouts of "you glue here, numbnut"
another problem with this is, if i glue it before the resin, im afraid i wont be able to resin bondo the little space between the box thingy and the helmet itself. But would that mean i would have to resin/bondo it separately?
While thinking of this, i wondered what else i can do. Then i saw the helmet attachement on the pre-order recon edition Aka this. It would match the rest of the build! Could someone please see if they could make it? If you need the size etc, i have built rundown's recon helmet from the archive and i have not scaled it as it appeared to be a perfect fit! (and yes, it is! other than a small problem)
Now, my only other problem is, while my head fits nicely inside the helmet (with an adequate amount of space for padding) There is a problem.
HOW IN THE *act of mating with the goal of reproduction or just pleasure* AM I TO FIT MY GIANT MELON THROUGH THAT?
seriously, any tips? I have heard of others also having this problem.
Thanks for everything! When i finish this, i am going to make a proper progress/suggestion post. and then start with the resin.
Untill then,
have a nice day!
Cheers
