My DREDD Pepakura project

Progress is slow, but I'll be damned if this isn't addictive already. I have the two side panels, the dome and part of the side of the helmet glued together. I've been using Aleene's fast grab Tacky glue and it is working great. Here are a couple of small updates:

Great progress! I recently made my first pep file. It was defenitly addictive
Keep up the good work.

I appreciate it. Good stuff to work on at night before bed, at least at this stage. And thanks to Dung0beetle for the awesome files.

Great work in progress thread man. I'll definitely be watching this one

A little more glue last night and now the top of the helmet is done. Next I will start working on the small inner pieces that give the appearance of thickness before attaching the sides and then the back.

Awesome - I will be interested to see how this turns out, I've taken an interest in Dredd helmets, and I have the same Pep file as this, as well as the movie version too. Good stuff!

I have both pep files as well, but decided to go for more of a comic book look for my eventual costume-- but on a budget! I'll keep posting my progress.

For those few of you keeping track (), here's my morning update: I added the trim along the upper edge of the faceplate giving it some needed sense of substance, and also glued on the left side of the helmet. A little more trim and then on to the back.

Starting to look like a helmet

Looking good!

Hi
Have you still got th Judge Dredd Pepakura?

I have looked everywhere for it, every time I find one it turns out to be a virus.

Cheers mate

I don't know if the muslin would work, my best advise would be to try it on a piece of scrap first. Since your first build was too small you could try it on parts of that. Good luck

Hey, i feel for you man! I had a couple of pieces come out too small and darned if I just didn't go back and do it again, and again and now on my 4th boot, I think I have it!
Though I hear the definition of insanity is doing the same action over and over with the same results LOL! They are getting bigger and better! So we must not be insane! right?
On the plus side you will get quicker and have better results everytime! Hang strong!!! we will succeed newbies unite!
On the plus side that is some very fine pep work!!!

Hi guys, have a 60 cm head diameter, where can I find a big pep file pls?

just change the scale in the 2d menu drop in the pepakura designer

Good call on the muslin. I will test it on that first piece. I was away on vacation for about a week and a half so have not posted in a while. Scaled up pep build has been printed, outlined, cut and construction is underway. Hope to have pics of the new helm by the end of the weekend. Size looks better so far although I won't know for sure until its done.

Good Luck in your starting!

[FONT=Calibri]I finally got back to work on this thing and finished up the paper build late last night (when I should have been asleep). At first, I thought it looked a little big. I boosted up the scale about 12 – 15% considering how ridiculously small the first one was. But then, once you consider the addition of padding inside, the inclusion of the face plate, and the fact that white always looks bigger, this size is growing on me. Proportionally its closer in size to the new Urban helmet. But it looked right size-wise in the full length mirror (not in pics). I actually have a dish towel running along the top of my head to make it sit right! So I think I’m going to stick with this size and see what happens.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]I photoshopped in a black visor just to see how it will eventually start to look. Can't believe how exhausted (i.e. bad) I look in that last one.[/FONT]

The size looks perfect!

Thank you for the input. I love your Stallone Dredd gear.

Does anyone have a link to this Pep? I've had a look around and can't find it anywhere.

Thanks for posting that. I couldn't access it to link it from work.
