You need something called "trennwachs" don'T know what it's called in the US.
it is rely neccesary to seperate the helmet from the silicone

Re: Pepakura ANH Stormtrooper Helmet WIP
Thanks SpaceCowboy!
Iam actually working on it. Sanding and sanding and sanding... Maybe a bit filling but mostly iam sanding.
I cut out the "Vocoder" and filled it and the lip with fiberglass. Next step is to model the teeth and the vocoder (any recommended materials that i can use, like drinkingstraws?). Hopefully I can make it nice and clean.
I actually like the pattern on the face
It looks like some kind of camouflage.
The 4 rectangles in the bucket are not sanded down, i will try to make them as flat as possible.
I won't make it too accurate. After some time, you lose the eye for the important things to work on and only concentrate on this only piece. I will give it my personal touch, like its MY stormtrooper helmet, not any replica. Hope you understand it.
Today I wanna order the silicone and the Rotocasting material. Iam going to use Rebound 25 and SmoothCast 65D. Do you think, 3 kilograms of Rebound 25 will be enough? Its so fckn expensive here in germany.. Only one site in the whole german internet sells these silicones.
So yeah, here are the pictures. Any suggestions and opinions are welcome
After one hour of sanding.. (sorry for the blurry picture, iPhone :rolleyes)
Some closeup
And thats it!
Still got much work to do :S

Re: Pepakura ANH Stormtrooper Helmet WIP
great work here! Ich wünschte ich hätte auch die Geduld dafür. Ja es ist wirklich schreckilch bei uns die benötigten Materialien für solche Sachen zu finden. Ich habe mal einen DH-17 gebaut und der ganze Kleinkram war einfach extrem teuer....

Re: Pepakura ANH Stormtrooper Helmet WIP
Da haste Recht... Ich geh noch zur Schule (12. Klasse) und der ganze Helm ist im Rahmen einer Jahresarbeit angelegt. Von daher bezahlen größtenteils die Eltern die Materialien und die Zeit ist auch gut eingeteilt.
Edit:
Hab ich dich nicht mal bei der German Garison gesehen?
Edit²: Sorry for the german converation D:

Re: Pepakura ANH Stormtrooper Helmet WIP
nee sorry ich bin nicht bei der german garrison, obwohl ich oft da im Forum rumschaue
Habe mich da aber nicht angemeldet und bin auch kein Mitglied. Vielleicht schaffe ich mir auch irgendwann mal ein passendes Kostüm an, aber im moment fehlt das Geld :/ ( bin gerade erst mit der Schule fertig).
Nah, sorry I'm no member of the german garrison although i lurk around at their forums from time to time
I would love to join the garrison though but my financial means wouldn't allow it at the moment (just finished my final exams).

Re: Pepakura ANH Stormtrooper Helmet WIP
join in into this thread because i don't want to start an own thread with the same topic again:
inspired by this work and the famous results of terra1
http://www.therpf.com/f24/stormtrooper-pepakura-terra-returns-pics-122443/index2.html
and also great build of echo5633
http://www.therpf.com/f24/anh-trooper-build-135269/
i decided to try my own experience.
so i've started with the pepacura from the .PDO-files provided by spacecowboy
http://www.therpf.com/f24/symmetrical-anh-stormtrooper-helmet-pepakura-157465/
May run in trouble later by using thick printerpaper (100g/qm) instead of cardbord.
Have somebody done that with that kind of paper?
I hope applying epoxy later will not ruin the paperwork?
Here are some pics from last two days work on it, not yet finished.

Very good build, Toxx; nice and clean assembly and you kept all the proportions correct. I'm looking forward to seeing it fiberglassed!

Re: Pepakura ANH Stormtrooper Helmet WIP
Thank you!
My fear is that the "paper" i've used get soaken wet by the epoxy and soften so that it will wrinkle....
it is no cardbard, only thicker printerpaper (100g/qm) and glued togheter with "Ponal", an PVA-Based glue for wood (not waterresistant, nontoxic, but sticks in seconds when used on paper to)
normal paper is at 80g/qm, that paper i've used is 100g/qm
cardboard starts at 120 over 190 to 250 and stronger

How long did your Pep take, Toxx?
I actually wanted to try the fierfek model and wondered if this one is easier...

Just out of curiosity .... is there any particular reason you elected to go with paper rather than cardboard or relatively thin eva foam?

Re: Pepakura ANH Stormtrooper Helmet WIP
No special reason, got not enough thin cardboard at home to do all the work with :love :rolleyes :$
So i've started over with the thick printerpaper, it was easy doing because it bends itself into the right shape at glueing all together.

Re: Pepakura ANH Stormtrooper Helmet WIP
....Also what kind of Glue did you use, Toxx?
Which Brand? I tried the strongest glue offered by "UHU" but its kinda.....too strong
