I was going to wait to post this here until I had more to show, but I should have some more photos tonight as I get further into the process. I don't want to be one of those who posts pictures of a pep, and that's it. Credit to Dung0beetle for the pep file.. I got it from www.wearablearmory.com
I did a search on Green ranger pepakura helmets, and most of them are like that except for a few that have finished them or have come close. I haven't seen but 1 or 2 that I thought looked "Great" compared to the sculpted/casted kits out there. Obviously pepakura is cheaper to do, but it still requires a ton of work to get the kind of quality you'd expect out of casted items.
With that in mind, here is my WIP Mighty Morphin Power Rangers costume.
I'm starting with the helmet, and I intend to create the whole get up.. as well as lose about 10lbs so I won't look like an idiot wearing it.
I'm wanting this to be a semi budget build.. so I'm not wanting to buy jumpsuits from halu or any of the popular makers.. I want to get suggestions on how to craft my own for much cheaper. The premade ones I've seen all look terrible.
Any suggestions?
Here's where I'm at so far. I already started on the resin so I'll have pictures of that tonight. Is it normal for it to be sort of "flexible" after the first layer? Almost like I didn't put anything on it?
