Let Mortal Kombat Begin!! Cyrax build - Udate: Back Done

JaggerWolf

So as soon as my hand un-cramps from cutting out all the pieces I will start the helmet part of this build.

I huge thanks goes out to Elro for getting this to me even though he's busy with his own projects.

I shall start with a picture of all the pieces in their first stage of cutting.....I alway cut out the pieces this way...then I go back through and cut all the notches out and score them as I go.

I must say for this being a helmet it has a ton of tiny parts...should be a challenge.

Here we go:

PepMaster

Looks like you'll be having fun with this. Don't forget to credit me though lol, I sent the Cyrax, Sektor and Cyber Sub-Zero 3D Models to Elro, but they have done the break down and a lot of the unfolding since I just don't have a lot of time.

EyeofSauron

i dont see how people can do pepakura this way, i couldnt keep track xD
i rather cut it by hand and glue at the same time, this way i dont get confused with the parts

JaggerWolf

Yes thank you very much PepMaster not only for sending the 3D models their way...but also sending me Elro's way he was VERY helpful in this.

JaggerWolf

Yeah I always have done pep this way......guess just getting it all cut out gets the less fun aspect out of the way for me

j0wE

yeah, I go piece by piece like EoS

STEALTH

yes, pepmaster is on a quest to be a 3d model extracting legend

Don't forget.

Djymm

Awesome, I'll be looking forward to seeing your progress on this. Are you starting with the helmet?

JaggerWolf

Yes the picture above is just for the helmet, I hope to start gluing it together tonight if all goes well.

After that's all done I will be starting on the suit, either by pep if the files are done....or eyeballing it from screen shots.

MooCriket

You must have much patience! Can't wait to see this come together.

Maelstrom

Looks like the intro to an episode of BONES.

Looking forward to WIP pics

JaggerWolf

Yeah there are quite a few small pieces to this one - time to get out the tweezers....the good news is both sides are a mirror image so it makes it a little easier to build in my opinion

JaggerWolf

Day 1: 2 hours of gluing in -




So far so good....even seems like it may fit

elro

Dont worry PEPM. Ive put your name in the PDO Need to talk to you to see if you need other information put in all the files as well (DA. etc.)


OH and yes, I always make unfolds symmetrical. I normally cut all the pages out - And lay the pieces in order as they appear on screen. It saves a lot of time looking at one join, then doing the same step on the other side - Because its easier to find the parts layed out on the pages.

Looks like my unfold was good! This is the first time ive ever seen pics of someone creating a PEP I fixed the model for / and unfolded very nice work / cuts / joining Jagger!

TaylorMcManus

Where did you get the pepakura file? I can't wait to see how this turns out!

Im guessing you are doing the mortal kombat 9 version? We've been slowly working the original version of sektor/cyrax

JaggerWolf

Yes this is the 9 version - Very similar to the one used in the online Mortal Kombat: Rebirth series. I have been wanting to do this since I saw it on the series.

JaggerWolf

Here are a few Mortal Kombat costumes I did way back when the second movie hit the theaters - before I knew about PEP





Sorry for the bad quality - these were taken from a video camera....this was also back before digital cameras hahaha.

JaggerWolf

Here is day two's work - about another 2 hours of gluing

hey jaggerwolf i was wondering if i could get the files please id like to make this helmet also

elro

Pepmaster and myself put the files together - The rest of the pieces are still inprogress, the Helmet is the only completed part so far.
I will be releasing the files to the public only when all are ready - This will be collated into a ZIP in locked PDO Format (sorry, but PDO theft for sale is a problem and I will only be giving out locked format - If people require different sizes (only after the release) I will do custom unfolds to match their sizing, once again these will be locked format).
Locked format ensures that the correct people get creditted for work, and is accompanied by a disclaimer that If someone has paid for the file to get a refund and to report the seller.


I have asked Jagger to not the share the file as of yet, but if you would like to get started on the helmet send me a PM and ill send you the file.
