The Great Journey

[Loganius]

Hey 405th members. This is the first time I have ever used pepakura to build something totally amazing. To be honest it's the first time I've used pepakura to do anything. Anyways, this is my Halo: Combat Evolved Marine helmet. It took me most of today but it was definitely worth it. I think it turned out pretty well for my first time ever using pepakura. Tell me what you think.

The Folding Station. Also known as my bedroom with a card table in it

The Swivel Chair is a necessity

This is the helm when it is almost finished

One more fold and It's Done!

The helm on my head. At first I think it looked too big, but it actually fits great. I guess I scaled it right

Gotta love that superglue





I had a blast doing this project, and finishing the helmet without any help in one afternoon is a real confidence boost. I will be applying resin to it tomorrow and building a Halo 2 Odst Helm tonight. I will also continue making the armor parts for the H1 Marine. I'll probably have more pics up tomorrow if possible. Thanks to Garland for the sweet models.

Looks good so far. Keep it up.

Looks way too big! The assembly looks good, though.

Trust me I thought it was gonna be huge too but it actually fits nice on my head on the inside. It's just bulky on the outside XD

Ohh very nice job on the first run.



Pepakura is amazing huh? It's like origami, but with gluing.



It's okay if the fit is a little loose, the fiberglass usually takes up more space, so your head should fit nicely in the end.

Thanks for the pointer Confucious

Just finished a forearm. It's way too big, which is really dissapointing. I'm wondering if I should just pad it eventually or just remake a new one...sorry for the double post

finished

UPDATE : I'm starting my chest piece today

This Project is being postponed until further notice XD
