Woo! Thanks for the conversion/unfold Darkside!
Oh WOW! Thats one very cool and detailed Helmet Darkside501st! Thanks for sharing it with the community!
No problem guys, It was my pleasure. 3D model was pretty good to start with... it only needed some minor adjustments. Then a lot of work on the unfold. Glad you like it.
Yeah, I already printed it out and started scoring lines. There's still a few issues here and there, but it's not something you could have seen without zooming in to a ridiculous level. They also won't prevent me from building an awesome helmet. I just hope I got the scaling correct.
So, do you think it's time to post my "MK1" pep files?
I, too, would like to see the pepakura file for this one. I think that it could be a fun project sometime, but I'm no where near your level. Incredible work on top of a tremendous amount of effort and creativity, D. *applause*
Have any ideas on future projects?
sorry for the noob question
why did you mold and cast your helmet after the bondo?
was it to make copies later or to use a more suitable material?
it seems you achieved a nicer look because you didnt stik to the "bondo'ed paper" and turn to some kind of resin or plastic... shinny
again, sorry... hope you understand my question :facepalm
your work is inspiring
congrats :cheers
That's a perfectly legitimate question. I started off thinking i want going to cast it, but the bondo and fiberglass had some problems... It was too stiff and it would crack too easily. Also, with the parting lines i had, i couldn't get smooth edges at the seams.
Casting it in plastic makes it both more durable and thinner, plus, i can make copies if i break a piece... Also, i can sell the copies if soneone wants it badly enough.
