Hey, all! Long-time lurker here, just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the help you have been. With help from the many tutorials I've found here on the RPF, I've embarked on my very first pepakura/EVA foam build: Slade (better known as Deathstroke) from the original Teen Titans animated series. To refresh your memory, here's a reference picture:

As I said, I'm planning to use pepakura for the helmet and EVA foam for the armor pieces. I haven't yet figured out how I will do the elbow/midriff sections, as they appear more like cloth than armor. But first, I turned my attention to the helmet. I'm going to modify a Power Ranger helmet base, courtesy of profoatmeal over at DeviantArt (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Helmet-base-power-rangers-super-sentai-469897592).

I have begun the process of carefully cutting out the pieces. When I have the helmet assembled (with hot glue), I'll upload some pictures. I had a question about the eyes. The left eye I'll cut out of the helmet and cover with a white film (like the kind Spider-Man cosplayers use), but there's no eye hole on the right side. Should I leave the helmet as is and deal with the restricted vision, or would others suggest finding a way to conceal a second eye hole?
