The helmet looks nice and proportional. Way better than my first two tries. I'll just stick to weapons.

CONGRATULATIONS. That is an great job. The helmet looks great and seems to fit very well. If this is a preview of things to come, you`re going to have one wicked armor.

Wow! The helmet is looking awesome, keep up the good work.

 

[pilotpapakilo]

thanks guys! I really want to get started on the bondo, but theres a foot of snow outside and i live in an apartment, so idk

 

[Aaron]

I wouldnt care that i couldnt bondo cause there's a foot of snow outside

 

[pilotpapakilo]

Yea I kinda feel the same way, just went out and played in it!! I wasn't being very smart either which makes for the best fun haha! I was kicking light poles to knock the icicles off and try to get out of the way before they hit me! haha

 

[Aaron]

Sounds like the fun i'd be having if i had snow :lol also, i like your helmet i like how smooth you made it.

 

[NAGA]

That's looking awesome. Keep it up, man.

 

[pilotpapakilo]

Im hoping it will be even smoother when i get done with bondo

 

[Aaron]

Judging from that primer pic, you barely need bondo! looks great. hopfully mine'll come out that good. however mine isnt smothed out, i just opened the file up and printed.

 

[pilotpapakilo]

Yea the part im going to focus on the most for bondo is the top, I'm gonna attempt to make it completely smooth instead of "ridged"

 

[Aaron]

yea, the different segments of the top stand out a little...

I completely agree. While you obviously should have bondo since cardstock is never truly smooth, from what I can tell, deformaties are almost completely undetectable... its really looking good so far. I'll be sure to watch this one.

you know, from the first resin pic, i can tell that you know the pepakura program pretty well. That's a good advantage to have.
