Currently building this guy up. Never done pepakura before so it's kind of a challenge, but its fun! Already realized i screwed up a part, but I'm trying to mod it to look more like the original trilogy helmets, so I'll be doing a lot of post work anyway.

Those helmets turned out great! I may take a stab at this.

The scaling I get is way off though. Without the dome, what is the height of the finished face mask? From the lowest part of the neck to the top of that mohawk part for the dome to rest on, what is that height?
