Came across a template for a Pepakura Bio and thought I'd have a go. It was supposed to be light relief from other work I was doing or so I thought.
Anyone doing this or similar needs the patience of a saint, the eyesight of a hawk and the manual dexterity of a juggling Swiss watchmaker. Takes ages to cut it out and assemble the first time you try this technique, but no doubt is easier the next time - there won't be a next time.
The final product is photographed on my resin cast Predator but it doesn't sit properly as expected. Firstly my cast has an open mouth and secondly it's a shade too small. However a few adjustments here and there plus reinforcing with plaster or resin could give me a reasonable Bio. That was never the intention but it does prove with a bit of patience anyone can have their own Bio without any sculpting ability. Same applies for any bits of armour, provided you get hold of the templates.
