So I fortunately came across the magic that is pepakura about a month or so ago. I wanted to do an Ironman mask to wear to the premier but I did very little research into actually doing pepakura, I printed the pages wrong, used tape...needless to say that failed. Then I came across Fierfek's Star Wars thread and almost drowned in my drool. Decided to wipe my slate clean and make the Stormtrooper my first ever build.
I started the helmet on May 7 and today, June 11, I've officially completed gluing together the ANH helmet. Unfortunately I've finally done my research on pep builds after getting to this stage. So to list the mistakes I've already made:
-Printed on regular printer paper
-Cut with scissors
-Folded by hand
-Been using rubber cement
-Spent WAY too much time on the details of the helmet (considering I plan to bondo it)
But anyway I'll start posting the pictures I've taken along the way up to this point as I plan to start the strengthening process.
