Howdy, sorry if this has been asked before,
The "teeth" on the sides of the helmet with the thick black lines, how are we supposed to cut those pieces?

that is done after the bondo stage, with a dremle tool or a needlefile.

you can scale the mark 7 V1 yourself, using pep Designer. The mark 7 V2 suit won't be available for a while. The V2 will come with test fit part's, as did the V2 helmet witch also can be used with pep Designer for test fit/scaling purposes only.

I was thinking that you could use the printout as a pattern to scrap built the teeth. It would be way easier to cut out the shapes and glue them on a solid backing then to pep all the trenches, bondo, and sand them all out.

I've been wanting to do this for a long time. Finally have a schedule that allows me to do things freely. I found this forum and registered because of the work from all of you here!

Sorry for uploading a picture, but how are we supposed to glue these little triangle pieces
sorry if this is a silly question im a noob

 

[Talshadar]

They get glued exactly the same as any larger tab - they're just smaller.

What kind of difficulty are you having? Talshadar is right, the concept is the same with any size tab.

 

[The1Doctor]

sorry for asking a silly question, im just having trouble getting nice creases on the tabs, is there a technique to creasing, are you supposed to fold them against something?

Best way is to lightly score the paper with a craft knife. For the smaller folds I use a PC RAM chip to fold against. Just thin enough to use.

 

[The1Doctor]

ok thanks for the advice, right now im scoring it lightly with my exacto knife, which is helping alot

 

[darkside501st]

I score all my tabs... just pay attention to which way the tab will be bent and score the opposite side.

 

[joshvanrad]

If you don't score the tabs (and do a good job of it) there is the possibility of throwing the symmetry way off over a matter of time. I've found that scoring the tabs is one of the most important parts to coming up with a good looking pep.

I will 2nd that, tabs kinda need to be mostly right but the scoring of the tabs is critical to the accuracy

 

[omarbou1]

so darkside.. you didn't answer the big question
how's the modelling going ?
perhaps a teaser ?!

 

[Blazini]

Current status of back. Yes those are Bud Light Platinum bottles holding up the left side. Dont judge. Thanks OP and foamers.
