Boar Bio (3D, pepakura, fiberglass)

[NeXXt]

Made this model two months ago.

Second version with some corrections. Re-unfold it.

Fiberglass form (glass mat and epoxy resin). The paper layer almost sanded off. Small elements made of ePVC.

Final result (primer, dark metal and bronze metallic, shading and weathering with black acrylic, dry brush with silver chrome).

Damn NeXXt you are just about the equivalent to Predator ***** because you can take a 3D image and turn it into a prop as if you got it straight from either ADI or Stan Winston.

 

[NeXXt]

Thanks, colleagues! I'm just learning in process.

Your work is amazing. I love the paint work. and the texturing is out of this world.

 

[Okami Skullcrusher]

Hey NeXXt,
Will you also take care of the brother-boar-bio?

 

[Blueleader]

Great work. What did you do to get the final texture?

 

[DMTDeadpool]

Your 3D work is a thing of beauty. Each bio you make is just astounding in it's detail.

Now I have buttered you up.. any chance of the PDO for the bio? When I am making Bios for display, yours will be the ones I would go for.

 

[NeXXt]

Will you also take care of the brother-boar-bio?

Maybe later. Now it's time for other projects.

 

[NeXXt]

Great work. What did you do to get the final texture?

Thank you!

Some texture done with engraver spherical, conical an cylindrical milling cutters. Then sprayed on it gray and bronze metallic paint. Next was airbrushing of the thin layer of black acrylic paint. When paint dry it's easy rubbed off (wet fabric with alcohol). Final step was weathering of the whole mask (drybrush + chrome metallic) and covering the matte varnish.

Look at the bottom of the main post under last photo — attached ZIP file contain the PDO (11 A4 sheets of paper)

 

[DMTDeadpool]

Awesome, thank you. will get to that at somepoint

DAMN!!! Wish I was this good with pep. This is amazing

Well it took several days and a lot of hours but it's well worth it...Boar Pep done. Thanks to NeXXt for this great pdo! I found some great glue to use, it's Scotch 3M clear glue in two way applicator...It gets a grip in less than 30 seconds with light app and dries solid in about 2 mins or less and it's at Walmart. Still doing some touch up and shaping/bracing but will try to get resin on it today. This has been a fun project and next I think will be the Pred Spear. BTW, I used 90lb photo paper cause I had it and had to order 100lb card stock over the internet since nobody locally carries it.

Forgot to ask. What type/brand of mesh wire? do you use for the eye sockets?
