Hello. I just joined this site and I'm looking for some help. I've never worked with pepakura before, but I've always wanted to learn. I am building an Ant-man costume for my Avengers costuming group and I can't tell how the front pieces are attached on this model. has CrimsonAether finished his helmet yet or can anyone offer some help to a newbie like me?

The helmet released is the test footage helmet not the official movie helmet.
Hey all! I recently made the Ant-Man helmet posted here. It was my first pepakura attempt. Maybe not the best first project due to the high level of detail, but definitely a fun time!
I did not use any resin in the project, only used decoupage to water-proof the card stock after painting (due to time and wariness to use chemicals in my apartment). So it was a little flimsy and the mouth piece supports were non-symetrical due to non-precise folding on some of the detailed smaller bits. The job became a bit of a rush at the end to finish in time for an event.
Below are a couple angles of the finished product:

Hey! I used the pep file for my helmet with a little bit of foam work and it turned out great. Here is some pics of my Ant-man cosplay!

The chest piece was just some red fabric with some weathering done to it, I sewed some paracord for the pipping that the costume had.
