i just want a helmMisterChief said:If you would like armor, you should try to figure out what you did wrong and ask us what to do to not make the same mistake. Asking us to make armor for you is useless because 99% of people will not do it for you.SORRY!
Agenator said:Okay, in all fairness its really easy to do this stuff, im 2 years older than u (14) and have started on my helm on sunday. If you know what your doing (ie can fold and use a glue gun) then you can do the basic helm part then you might want to ask someone to help you resing bondo fibreglass paint. Anyway, the part that I got tripped up on was folding, I though you where supposed to fold it all the way, not ture, fold it just enough to get in loose so that when you glue the parts together you can make adjustments to the folding as you go. Maybe this project is time consuming but the essential process is really easy. You should get a group of your firends together and try and work on it as a team, could help you out. Also If you think that cutting all 21+ pieces out is a daunting task, then just do it a little at a timeI finished cutting in like 2 hrs. by simply doing it while watching TV. Tonight I finished folding in antoher 2 hrs. Just turn on the TV or some tunes and happy folding/cutting... Anyway I think you can do this if you have the time on your hands. If you need help just go ahead and ask and u can always pm me wit questions so that way we both learn... I admit it ima noob at this stuff but you can't just quit on your first try, u gotta keep at it. Hey even if it looks crappy $10 says that youll be the only person on your block with hand made halo armor. THATS FRICKIN SWEET DUDE...
not for long! I'm gonna beat you to it!!! hopefully. i just need more duct tape...timmins said:make that my country i live in nz and trust me it took me like 2 weeks to find this site
Don't give up sweetie there is alot of people that put alot of effort into their own designs, its pretty much like trail and error for most of us!! But like all great things, they must start somewhere so keep checking back every now and again something is bound to spark your creative mojo if it hasn't already hun!!!!timmins said:is any one nice enought to send me the armour made out of paper
