Daft Punk Thomas Helmet Pepakura problem

[MTBrands]

Hi guys,

now I know there is a ton of people making these helmets, but I couldn't really find a solution to my problem. This maybe a general pepakura problem with a simple solution right in front of my face.

So I started with this project a long while ago and I saw it lying on my shelf so I thought I'd get back to it. The problem is this, the shape of the pepakura is all crooked.
What would be the best way to fix this and straighten it up, also to reinforce it when putting resin on it?

Thanks all ready!

What type of paper are you using? You should use something with a heavier weight than regular paper, such as card stock. That is, if you aren't already.

My best guess is that this is heavy printing paper, I suppose there is heavier paper out there. It indeed was right in front of my face but didn't realize it

Thank you very much!

If you remember the scale you printed it out with, go back into pepakura and use the measuring tool to measure points in the helmet. Use craft sticks at said length the straighten your pep back out. Glue them in and leave them there while you resin it. Should work for you.

i'd say chuck it and start again using card.

my first pep turned out like this, i pressed on and wasted loads of time and fibreglass.
