Demagol Helmet question

[LarryD]

So I decided to take a swing at making a demagol helmet with the pep file modeled by fierfek. the pep I finished is a bit to small so I am going to make a new one but in making the small one I noticed that the ridge above the visor was giving me quite a bit of trouble and caused the shape to be a bit missed up. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on a way to clean the ridge up for the second try, I do plan on doing a complete build so I could add the ridge with bondo or something I just need a way to fill in the space left if I pull out the ridges from the pep.

here is the small pep I did, you can see the gap above the visor that is my problem.

this is only my second attempt at pepakura so any advice would be appreciated since I am betting this will happen from time to time

no takers yet I guess. i have heard of people cutting a blank piece of card stock to fill in the gap but what is really required to achieve that while maintaining the shape?

tape is all you need

tape is all you need

Will the tape survive the resin stage?

 

[animefan]

yes it will. I like to use the white masking tape

Alright I will have to give that a try, I have then new ten percent larger pep printed out I am just waiting for finals to be over to start it hopefully it will be big enough. I think I might have to are a section of the back removable so that I can keep the scale closer to the original but that should not be to hard.

thanks for the help
