Using Pepakura For A More Rounder Armor?

[themarine]

Is it a good idea to use Pepakura for a more rounder armor?

Like most halo armors are sharp and sleek, which makes it easier to do with Pepakura, but the armor that I want to make has a more curved/rounded shelled armor like this:

If Pepakura is not a good idea, what else can I do? (that isnt too expensive like buying 100lbs+ of molding/clay)

You may want to do the some parts out of pepakura and then the others from cardboard. But yes, pep can be used to make these suits. It looks to me that these were made from some sort of foam type material.





Also, if you happen to come across the pep files for a suit like the guy in the back, I've been looking around for it for a bit here and there, for a friend.



Thanks and good luck on your build.

Use bondo. That armor was made with foam and a paper mache like substance. Thread Here.
