Tutorial : How To Use PEPAKURA For Costume Armor Building Part -7 Painting - Added

STEALTH · 04-24-2011, 05:22 PM

I made some video Tutorials explaining the basics for pepakura, if anyone was interested.
A lot of things in the videos are what I do.
You don't have to do exactly as shown.

Explore and be creative in your project in regards to methods or materials.

Tutorials are here in Order:
How To Use PEPAKURA For Costume Building

I hope they make sense.
I don't really like being on camera, thus,I lack energy and enthusism.

Stay Tuned for more videos to come.
Good luck.

Thanks to all the 3D modellers and unfolders who make this Method possible.

You know who you all are.

Also, the awesome prop makers who have inspired us to try this method out, with their awesome work.

STEALTH · 04-24-2011, 05:27 PM

Part - 6 will be a collaboration with RPF member: BlackDynamo1 - with his Awesome Iron Man Mark 6 build.

He will be explaining his method filling/sanding and detailing as he is well ahead on that stage than me.

He uses cardboard but his method can apply to pepakura as well.

look for that soon.

Rebo · 04-24-2011, 07:19 PM

Just watched all your videos and they will be of great help to new guys just starting out in pep.
Even a seasoned guy like me picked up a great tip (3m the cloth in place first), so a big thumbs up for all the effort.

Edit:-A tip deserves a tip.

This is for anyone who struggles with panel lines.
Before you use any bodyfiller (bondo) trace the lines with Speaker wire and use a tiny drop of superglue every one to two inches to hold it in place. Make sure that you leave enough over to be able to tug on once your filler has set.
The thigh in the photo was done this way.

No problem.

Yep, that'll be me.

STEALTH · 04-24-2011, 08:37 PM

Wow, good to see you after so long. I'd love to see some more of your Mark III build.

Rebo · 04-24-2011, 09:00 PM

Ahh, thank you, it's nice to be missed.

Just coming out of hibernation now so hopefully I will get some good ground covered.
I don't have much in the way of progress to start a thread up here yet. I don't think I should do one here anyway as the forums where I have started threads end up going **** up for one reason or another, cursed I tell ya!.

VitaminZinc · 04-24-2011, 11:58 PM

Subscribed.

Also, great tip with the speaker wire stuff. That'll save me a ton of time.

You'll see a lot of these builds here.
Like in the thread where you just asked "what material is that?"

It will make more sense if you try to watch the videos.

Boomer · 04-25-2011, 02:44 AM

Thanks man will be checking this out very soon.

lupus · 04-25-2011, 04:30 AM

I don't have the best net connection at home, making YouTube patchy.

Would love to check out the videos. Anyone have a suggestion on how I can download the videos at work so I can view at home?

Sothink web video downloader does a good job downloading youtube videos.

But I noticed that the sound on at least the second video is a bit patchy, like it´s skipping or something?
Third one is okay, with much louder and clearer sound. Fourth the same. Fifth also.

Awesome tutorial series, will include links to those in the Pepakura Sticky! And don´t be surprised to find yourself featured on the RPF youtube channel and facebook page

Thanks Mike,

Give Credt to Delray aka BlackDynamo1 also please, he's been helping me make part 6 and 7 as he's there already on his suit.

I saw the footage on his end so far and it looks great.

link updated.

TONKA1675 · 06-03-2011, 08:04 AM

Thanks for this, it's really above and beyond the call of duty! I was on the fence about whether or not I wanted to get into pep, but after watching I'll definately start a HD War Machine after I finish all my stuff for DC this year.

indiefilmgeek · 06-03-2011, 09:49 AM

GREAT tutorial Stealth! I've emailed your video link to several friends that have had questions regarding the pep process and I plan on using your spray adhesive trick on my next hardened piece!

Thanks!

P.S. I'll also be using Rebo's trick! Very nice!

Good luck Tonka
It's really not that bad, just pace yourself.
Even the sanding part. I'm not even the best at it.

I don't have much experience as most people but If you just take your time with it,
Anyone can end up with a decent and smooth finished piece.

Thanks man, I hope these can help people get started. A lot of people are visual learners. I learned off people showing me as well.
down the road everyone will eventually develop their own tricks and shortcuts to it all, which is all good in the end
