Pepakura Helmet question.

[Soulmemories]

Hi, I found this place after looking at the $30 dollar chief costume on digg. I thought it was pretty could so I thought I could make my own armor.

Anyways;
I am making the helmet first, I want to go for the "hardest" (i think, I hope so. :vim: ) first. Also, I'm using the scoring technique. I am making it out of cardstock but I was wondering if you had a tutorial on reinforcing it. I have about $400 from a job this summer so, you can include the "cheap" options or the "cool" ones.

:hyper:

Thank you man.

I looked around, and found lots of stuff about fiberglass and it was cool. And uh, my parents won't let me use fiberglass or anything toxic, so I have decided to use cardboard.


Does anyone know of a good glue that sticks cardboard to card stock?

 

[tehronin]

use paper mache or something like that

Epoxy resins or clear JB Weld should work well.

Would mod podge be good for this type of stuff?
