DREDD 3D Pepakura Helmet (WIP)

[Ballistikk]

Hey guys, I'm new here so I'll introduce myself!
My names Brett & I'm from the UK and am currently in the process of building my DREDD 3D Costume for Halloween/New Years.

After attempting a Dredd 3D Helmet with a BMX helmet as the base (To no avail).. I decided to give it a go with Pepakura! And here is the progress so far!..









The Head on Picture is a bit dodgy, The left side (Camera Left) looks weird, but it's mostly the camera angle!

As you can see I had to relieve some of the pressure in parts as it started to buckle (this is my first attempt at pepakura!).. Anyway, I hotglued over it, seems to have done the trick..

Thanks, Ballistikk.

Looks good for a first build. Are you using normal paper, or something heavier?

Looks good so far, but i want to ask the same question as CLOTHAR lol. It looks like normal paper in the pics.

Looking fine for a first pep, keep the good work up!
It does look kind of fragile though..

Well I had to buy the pepakura template printed off as I don't have a printer nor do I have access to one, but according to the description of it, it is 160 grm card. It wasn't paper but it wasn't the thickness of a birthday card for example, it was about in between.

I ordered some smooth cast 300 last night, so that is the next step. then once the body filler is on, I'ma go to town with it using my new delta sander >!..
