Stormtrooper pep build & intro

[Laderniere]

Hi all!

My name is Amanda. I've been browsing these forums for some time now and I am always impressed by what I see from both newcomers and experienced artists. I am not new to papercraft, however, this will be my first pepakura costume build. Seeing as this is a new experience, I thought I'd share and get some input from the experts. I appreciate your time!

I'd like to give a special thanks to Fierfek for his work on these unfolds and to Stealth for his comprehensive pep tutorials.

Thus far I'm not exactly happy with my shoulder bell... it is too blocky, I should have rounded it out more, however, I'm going to move on for now and perhaps remake later.

I'm having some problems with the forearms (no pic just yet). I've remade the forearm three times and I can't get it on my arm. The wrist portion is too tight, but I dont want to scale it so big that it looks out of proportion. I'm thinking of splitting it into two pieces and attaching with velcro, although I'm not sure where to make the cuts without compensating aesthetics. If you have any ideas let me know!

I'm nearly done one of the biceps, just filling in some imperfections with spot putty, I'll get my wet sand done and I'll post it up!

I've got a set of ABS armour, if you fit the inner forearm inside the outer forearm you will be able to velcro them together, not affect the aesthetic and be able to keep the piece tapered at the wrist. good luck!
