iron man helmet out of cardboard/pepakura

[MrGzilla]

ok, so out of boredom from having nothing to do while i wait to get fiberglass and resin for my eod helmet i decided to start on another helmet, but this time not from halo. ive never done anything ironman related before so i thought it was the perfect chance to do his helmet!

im using the same method i used with the eod helmet i made using the pepakura file made by sharkmark and modifying it for the cardboard.

heres some pics:

ah im new to the whole pepakura thing, are you just using tape to hold it together? or how does it stay as a single piece?

Well, I'm using hot glue to hold it together, but I'm not done working on the top piece an just wanted to see how it looked so I taped it on temporarily.
The only other thing taped is the faceplate and that's because I'm keeping it a separate piece.

Thanks! Haha well the scar closer up my arm is from a skateboarding accident from a few months ago, and the black is just some spraypaint that wouldn't wash off.
