Armor 100% Complete on Page 17!: Click Here
3/12/2012: Apparently my imagecave photo hosting is dead so 90% of my images are gone. I'll work on reuploading them to photobucket and having this look right again.
Well I'm new to the 405th as you can tell by my post count Lol Ive had a master chief costume in the back of my mind since Nightmare Armor made their suits. When I learned about pepakura I found this site and liked what I saw. Lots of information here and the community seems nice. Anyways I've decided to start making my own set of armor. I just finished pepping the mark 6 helmet. I used Flying Squirrel's hd model. My research told me to start with a low def, but I had faith in my abilities. I'm a newb to pepakura but not costuming, I've been making stuff for a while.
Well here are the pics of my first attempt, how does it look to you guys? To me the one thing that bothers me is the brim, it doesnt appear to be on exactly straight and I have no idea why since im pretty sure i lined up everything correctly. Might just be because its made of cardstock. Oh and the visor, I had no idea how to attach that to the helmet, there were no matching numbers to guide me through that or anything so I just left it out.
I used the default scale of 26.5cm just to see how big or small it would turn out. Some people say thats too small but my head can fit in it so I guess that was a good gamble. I dont like my helmets too big anyway. Its fairly easy to put on but a pain to take off but I'll trim a bit of the extra cardstock on the inside to take care of that.
