My next build after making Grunt is going to be Wrex (maybe I secretly wanted to make Wrex all along?)
I've been hoovering up build information from both thevitavink and booksandcorsets Wrex builds, but I'm building mine from a pepakura base like I did with Grunt
I've made three Wrex heads from pepakura so far and have finally made one that looks ok and not incredibly derpy
Version 1 super derpy
Version 2 slightly derpy
Version 3, no cut corners this time
He's been coloured blue because for some reason my printer isn't liking red at the moment, it was either pink or blue
Here's a link to my terrible unfold if anyone want to have a go building him

I'm going to strengthen the paper up with paper mache instead of fiberglass and resin this time because paper mache is free and my budget is a little smaller this time
I've made a bit of a start of the foam unfold for the armour too
I'd also love to have a go with making a movable jaw this time
I'm basing my ideas for this on things like the animatronic alien mask on youtube
and similar non radio animatronics (I wish I could completely figure out how the pulley system works on that alien mask, but I'd be happy with just a direct jaw wire system without the lip curl)
Onto paper macheing over the next couple of days
