hello everyone,

I'm newish here (found the forum last october but only just posted, wanted to have something to show you guys before I posted)

I have built about 10 pep helms since october, each time improving my techinique I must have built 4 fs helms from his first release to this final one,

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2768...mp;id=508799394

Here is a built version of the final helm.

I'm sorry I do have more to say but its 6am and i've not been to bed yet. (Said I was gonna get the helm ready to resin for the weekend)

I will add more photos tomorrow and have more conversation when my brain is making sense.

Thanks everyone, and look forward to talking to everyone tomorrow,

Ooooh before i forget... Heres a teaser of a movie project i've starting up

Good night / Good morning.

T Cheeseman

welcome (as a member) to 405th. wow, i think thats the first complate one. am i right? it looks kewl! can we has more pics? diff angles etc.?

I'm impressed...I just d/l the file and I look, someone actually finished it!!! It is 12:00 midnight here, makes me want to start cutting and get to folding this helmet as well!

Good job T Cheeseman!

haha, yea, tell me about it. i havnt been able to do any models matle cuz ive been workin on the digital ones so much.

Thanks WetOkole

Though call me Tom

Right now I've had some sleep (6 hours worth) I am ready for my introduction/rant.

I have started to resin the the helm and can't wait for it to dry.

FS you are a legend and I thank you for all your hardwork.

I'm not going to lie, this helm was really tough to put togeather, mainly for the tiny folds but I love the detail and it is totally worth it. I'm hoping to have the helm fully resined and fibre glassed by the weekend. I'm not gonna use bondo on this one but thats cause we don't really have it over here in the UK and I've got something else I want to try.

I'll start a new thread on how my helm is going when i've got some real stuff to show, I'll also show some previous helms I've made.

- Tom

well your just racin ahead!!! the europe equivilant of bondo is isopon. that grap/pink body filler stuffs for cars. oh, just to remind you, youll need 50 posts before you can start your own thread. if you want me to start one for u just let me know... and if i forget remind me. ide like to see pics of the other ones youve worked on too.

Well the numbers smeared because I used the wrong print settings XD

Ooooh nice work Tom

blarg! are they alright now? sorry for dissapering as you came on the other day, i had to go to bed, wuz very tired.

Yes. Be proud. You have made great models and your post now is the #1 most posted upon topic in the "Pepakura and Cardboard Armor". Mine's only number 4.
1st place: Flying_Squirl's HD model post
2nd Place: Slyfo's "The first Halo 3 Files" post
3rd place: The Pepakura Tutorial Sticky
4th place: Robogenisis's HD models post
5th place: The Official Scaling Sticky

I've started on the helmet, and have cut all of the pieces out, assembled the supports (something easy to do first), and am going to start on scoring the tabs (which is about all the folds there are). I wan't to finish it on our 3-day weekend, but I don't think it'll happen

wow first? wait... what? howd you figure that out? kewl, i wants to see pics! oh oh oh oh, record it!!! make it another pep-ing vidjo, they look so kewl! if only it was that quick. *sigh*

alright here it is with its first layer of resin

damn, i have to go back to the thread for this one, the pic's gone. BRB

my GOD this is one tough pep piece. but soooooo worth it

MWAHAHAHA, it all part om my evil plan of robbing everyones spare time. >

[Skullcandy Girl]

GAH!! A papercraft with moving parts and all those complex folds... GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!!!

And WOW timecon, done already... I feel slow...

 

[tom cheeseman]

Hey all,

I have some photos of the Helm at different angles.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2772...mp;id=508799394

I've not added in the floating layer details yet because I wanted to get the first few layers of resin on first, glue the detail on and then another layer of resin.
I'm sorry i've not taken any photos of the helm being resined as I forgot to take my camera out to my garage.
I tried Isopon on my previous helm, I found it very difficult to use and then sand down as parts would break off or chip.
50 posts till I can post a thread, I thought it was till I could post photos :S... My Bad

Helm looks good Timecon

Oh before I forget; Here are some previous helms. I've not include the previous one to this because no photos and its in the garage aswell.

Finally another teaser poster

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2337...mp;id=508799394

I'll add more photos over the weekend when I've done more work, today wasn't feeling good so have been in bed.

Take it easy everyone.

 

[timecon]

GAH!! A papercraft with moving parts and all those complex folds... GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!!!

And WOW timecon, done already... I feel slow...

Dont worry your not slow, I downloaded it the sec it came out and started working on it, at work at the call center I would cut all the peices out in between calls then when i got home I woulld start folding and glueing every day for a week because Im a freak, I know. and now that its done it feels just a tat to big I dont know yet I fit a 31 in on the old fs helm (which by the way I think Im likeing better but not sure yet) just barly so I put this one at 32in so I think that Im in the middle like 31.5 in, yes I got a big head. also I wanted to say even if your new if you know the concept about pepakura then you can do this everyone keeps saying how much harder this one is, well as a noob its not that hard just more time consuming. I also wanted to give everyone a hint make a cardboard peice that goes under the part above the viser that sticks out (the bill that prodects your eyes from the sun on a basball cap) and glue it on inside that way you will get a strait bill and fiberglassing is way easiser. hope that makes sense

 

[bugman72]

I wanted to say even if your new if you know the concept about pepakura then you can do this everyone keeps saying how much harder this one is, well as a noob its not that hard just more time consuming.

I'm glad someone has confirmed this. I haven't had the chance to actually do any work on the helmet yet, but just looking at the parts, it seemed as though it wouldn't be as difficult to build. If you look, you'll realize that with every piece, you are covering a good deal of surface area.

I'm hoping to get FS's chestplate finished soon so I can get started on the helmet. I can't wait!!

 

[Datahar]

Well my helmets drying now, sadly it's not the "final" version but the 1 under it, tho i did add those lovely floating faces to it,
and then if u promise this version is done i can start on the torso

 

[Twitchfmx8811]

hey man great torso model. Im having a blast putting it together. Its coming together with no problems at all so far. Cant wait to the helm next.

 

[Shorion]

Just thought I'd say that I've started making my MC Mark VI for Australias Supernova and GO3 conventions. Fingers crossed and I win a trip to Japan with it, started it 3 or 4 days ago, was slow going to begin with dam made like 5 different pieces before the scale was right lol

Awesome helm by the way Flying, I've had a blast putting it together lol the Jaw..... I'm not gonna say it was easy, I chopped out a few connecting tabs coz it was to hard to fold under lol but awesome work. I'm using your chest too but sylo's other parts. You and him should work together to finish the rest of them off in high def. you'd only have to do 3 more things since he's working on the thighs atm and already done the boots and hands.

p.s. will be adding a ton of led's a couple of cooling fans in the helm, I'll take some photos of how I hook them all in for you all

 

[rachciav]

i feel so stupid.....i tried my helmet on for the first time after almost completeing it.....and i noticed its too big......i forgot to scale it. its still sparten sized. is there any way i could make it fit me better, or am i pretty much screwed. cause im reeeeaally not looking forward to making another one of these

 

[Ral Partha]

i feel so stupid.....i tried my helmet on for the first time after almost completeing it.....and i noticed its too big......i forgot to scale it. its still sparten sized.

Nah. Spartan-sized helmets have an assembled height of about 32 cm. The files here were sized for regular-sized heads at around 26 cm.

is there any way i could make it fit me better, or am i pretty much screwed. cause im reeeeaally not looking forward to making another one of these

I'm afraid you're SOL. You have to start over unless you like to put a lot of foam padding inside. Even then, it might still look too big for you.

 

[rachciav]

well good thing its not spartan sized. i think im gonna add alot of padding, because it looks pretty like its in pretty good proportion to my armor. im just so mad i forgot to scale it.

 

[Robogenisis]

I'm using your chest too but sylo's other parts. You and him should work together to finish the rest of them off in high def. you'd only have to do 3 more things since he's working on the thighs atm and already done the boots and hands.

Are you sure that you have your facts strait?
FS has made the HD chest and Helmet,
I (Robogenisis) have made the HD hand plates and boots, and the low detail Mk VI pieces,
slyfo has made no HD parts. He's made the low detail Halo 3 models, with extra open edges.

Also, if you meant me, not slyfo, then I'm making the Bicep atm, not the thigh. If we worked together (we are in the sense that we aren't doing what the other one has done), then we need to make 5 more pieces (Bicep, Forearm, Thigh, Lower leg, and Space diaper.)

 

[raven2751]

i've got your hand plates and boots but need to finish fs' ar first then get my resin and fiberglass to finish my helmet, was thinking of putting it on hold and building the latest first, with the torso and yours it would be long before i had all the HD pieces.

ok i convinced myself gonna start on the HD stuff when the rifle is done

its lookin good. if you want to use this thread till you can make another feel free. i like to see progress-ness-esess all in one place anyway.

that is a VERY good idea! ill put that in the first post if thats alright?

Well my helmets drying now, sadly it's not the "final" version but the 1 under it, tho i did add those lovely floating faces to it,
and then if u promise this version is done i can start on the torso

oh, good thinkin. heh, yea, its the last torso.

hey man great torso model. Im having a blast putting it together. Its coming together with no problems at all so far. Cant wait to the helm next.

ouch. em, well, i dunno for sure but i think you might have to start again. :/ i could be wrong thoe, hopefully i am.

eeep. there ya go.

well good thing its not spartan sized. i think im gonna add alot of padding, because it looks pretty like its in pretty good proportion to my armor. im just so mad i forgot to scale it.
