Well, I have decided to try to make a costume as an overzealous first build. After much internal debate, I settled on a storm trooper. I mean, who doesn't like Star Wars! I went out without posting any help threads and I found my way around the internet to all the resources I needed; mainly the feirfek pepakura model and general instructions, and I went on my way. So, right now I am finished with the first bit of resining and I am going to start on the fiberglassing soon*. So, I am going to document my adventure here, and I am open to all sorts of critique and encouragement (not that I will listen to it, but post it anyways
) This won't be exactly screen spec, but it will be recognizable to what it is supposed to be, so don't be to harsh.
*soon might mean Internet/Valve time
Picture time!
First Part!
My Pepakuraing-So I started and went on my way hit a few kinks but here are some halfway pics. I will add more to this post when I get the few I have on my iPad off there as well.

Resin time!
Wen and resined the helmet and here is the result. It is a little hard to see in pictures, but it gets the point across.

I accidentally my pictures so I will have to add to this section tomorrow as well.
Anyways, I hope I can make this look good! Thanks for reading this lurkers post!
