Hi,
I've just unfold a Cap helmet for foam building, then I've built it to check its feasibility and identify any tricky stages. After that, I've reimproved unfolding again in a foxy way to reduce the amount of seams and parts, and obtain this *.pdo file.

Ears are missing, since they turn out to be optional.

It's really very simple and quick to build, and moreover for a four-pieces helmet, it's not so ugly.

Coating and finishing remains your own.

I'm still seeking this Iron Man round-eyed helmet...
Anyway, the Ultimate Ironman looks so far like a couple of scores of fitness mat rolls in my shed and a handful of files on an usb storage device.

And to please EoS and fit the sheme, mats are red, yellow, blue and dark-grey

PREFACE/DISCLAIMER: - I'm a complete newb when it comes to pepakura costume making
- so please forgive the naivite' of my questions :confused . . . .


I assume that this same pep file/model can be used to go further and (I hope I get this right) resin/bondo the helmet for an (eventual) more solid and "movie realistic" result ... yes?

Do you know of a similar pep file for the Captain America AVENGERS VERSION helmet?
(having trouble pinpointing it within the Forums if there is)



THANK YOU ... and again, I apologize for the newbness of my questions (I'm learning,though).

You can have a look at cama900's thread.

For the avengers version, there must be certainly a file somewhere. I'll post it up if I find one.

Hey JF! Are those Ultimate Iron Man files completed somewhere? If so, is there a pep version (Not foam)?

This Ultimate is released here for foam, and there for paper.
