how is the back of the helmet setup? I peped the helmet out of cardstock but cannot get my head to fit thru the slit. but it is the right size for my head. right now I cut it open and was thinking of using elastic or velcro.

hey do you have a link for the pictures because i can't see them at all.

 

[Kommissar]

sorry everyone, if the pictures are down then the bandwidth has been exceeded on my photobucket account, i don't think i can spare the cash for upgrading my account right now, so you may have to check back later when my bandwidth isnt exceeded.

Try skydrive. I love it. It is a great place to load your photos so you can share them. Works right off your computer so you don't have to load them yourself... just drop them in the right folder on your computer and it automatically uploads.

Does anybody want to do me a huge favor? I could really use the helmet pepakura files converted to a pdf. Thanks!

 

[SFPinkSmartie]

This is amazing would love to have one but don't have the time or skill to make one. How much would it cost? Found someone offering £103 however doesn't show previous work so not so sure about it. He's offering helmet and armour

I'm trying to make the chest piece at the moment, and I'm to the point where I have the pieces cut from the foam. However, whenever I try to sand them with a rotary sander or a belt sander it takes off far too much. I know that Komissar said he used a belt sander, but is there some technique I can use to round it and sand them without ruining the pieces, because I've been doing the sanding by hand.

I'm working on the same! I personally used a dermal with a low grade sander attachment, this gave me took some time, but ultimately it gave me the results I was looking for.

I used a belt sander with fine sand paper belt. 220 grit I think. Most belt sanders are designed to remove a lot of material and therefore come with much rougher grits like 60 grit sandpaper. This will tear up the foam.

This looks awesome where did you get the coat from?

Hey, is this what you used to build your mask?

Amazon.com: Hobby Plasticard Variety Pack of 9 GF9 Gale Force Nine: Toys & Games

It's a variety pack which might actually help anyone building this if you need carious thicknesses.
