My First Build! - Pepakura Casey Jones Mask

[magneto1138]

So I finally decided to take the leap into prop building and pepakura! It was a lot easier than I thought, and with time and practice I feel I can become very good at this trade! It will definitely be a new hobby for me!

I found the Casey Jones file here:
The Printable Armory

Step 1 - The Print and Cut:

Step 2 - The Fold and Glue:

Step 3 - The Resin:

Step 4 - The Fiberglass:

Step 5 - The Bondo:

Step 6 - The Sanding:

I had a little mishap while sanding :unsure

Because of this, I decided to keep it fairly rough and call it "Well Worn and Battle-Damaged!"


Step 7 - The Paint:

Step 8 - The Details:

Very cool. Has a very functional feel to it. Like it's actually being used for it's intended purpose. I've never tried to build anything from pep, but this has given me a reason to do so!

Sweet, looks good. I have been thinking of making this myself.

I went to Dallas Fan Days this past Saturday and it was an awesome time. I had MANY pictures taken!

Cool! I saw you there, then. Thought that was a fun costume.

Good job!

Thank you! I was only able to go on Saturday, as I live 6+ hours away, but I had a great time!

I know Pep can get really difficult at times. Nice job on this, it looks great. Even more so this being your first pep build.

It really was a fairly simple process, and as said, with time and practice I feel I can become very good at it.
