Pepakura Accessories

[shearme]

So, I started making the pistol from Halo: CE and got most of it down; just need to do all the little pieces. And I made a grenade while resting from cutting out all those tiny bits and pieces.

What I have so far. (main body of the gun, the clip, and part of the scope)

Me holding it.

I won't be able to reach the trigger.

My Grenade:

Looks pretty good, not sure how you're going to fiberglass them, if you even plan on it, but otherwise I like them.

 

[odst26]

pretty good

I don't think I will... they kind of suck.

pretty good

I know, they suck... shut up

 

[shearme]

Yay I finished my pistol!!! -- Sort of... I had to cheat somewhere in the process (since I suck) and at least a fourth of it is made out of hot glue. But it was a nice first try right? It still needs some cleaning up and for some of the glue to be melted flatter so I'll do that tonight.

ShearMe that looks real good.

I am going to start working on weapons soon so I just want to ask, are you supposed to scale the weapons just like you do armor? That pistol looks enormous, I so I was wondering is it because the creator has small hands or because the weapons need to be scaled.

I don't think so, because the weapons are going to be the same size no matter how big you are. I suppose if you are really small, scaling may be necessary, but since they are 1:1 models of in-game weapons, hey shouldn't be tampered with. Think about it, if you and another person that is bigger than you have the same airsoft gun, is your's going to be smaller than his?

 

[shearme]

Well mine is kinda of big... its hard to reach the trigger. I suppose it would be ok to scale it but there are some pretty difficult folds. My hands arent small, and not big... they're sausage-like

EDIT: Here's my jackal shield I built in one afternoon:

If you can't tell by the pics, its about a torso tall and a little bit short on the wideness, but that's mainly because of the grooves on either side. It's a bit flimsy (its made out of paper, duh) so I'll try hot gluing some squewers onto the back. What I'd like to see is a more experienced member making a smooth one of these Twas difficult for me at one point cuz I had to move from my desk to my bed, but if I try this again later I'll be doing it on the floor for sure

 

[shearme]

So, I did in fact add some bamboo skewers to the back side of the jackal shield:

Yes, those are twist ties and I did glue the center piece onto the plasma part of the shield. I know all this wouldn't be favorable if I was going to resin it, but I'm not. All of these are just me testing out what I can and can't do as far as pepakura goes. When I'm able to get the resin and fiberglass I will be re-building these better

Try using less glue on your tabs. Will be easier later.

That excess glue is for support along with the skewers, but thanks

 

[LastSpartan]

I meant outside. Like on the grenade.

Oh, yeah... that's just me sucking at pepakura :rolleyes

I'll try!

 

[LastSpartan]

Try Super Glue in gel.


It's amazing.

Maybe after I make my EOD helm... which I'm starting next

 

[Spartan 118]

Looks great keep it up

 

[leegrisham]

I like that jackal shield, would be awesome if you could make it opaque.

 

[pacbury]

someone finaly used my jackal shield pdo
i didnt put it to scale on purpose, otherwise the main pieces would have been cut up, and it wouldn't have been very sturdy.

 

[rvb4life]

not too bad, try using less glue next time. You'll get it down soon

 

[Silverzippo93]

I has idea.

Vacuumform the shield with tinted plastic!
