So i started peping my halo reach helmet 2 days ago and i completely done. i started this forum to get help and some pointers for my helmet. whether im going to making full body armor is questionable so please leave your comment and remarks for what i have so far! going to posting picture with comment and stuff soon

see ya starside, Khaos out

wish i could have shown you guys proccess shots but i just began peping like crazy with out taking pictures. First let me tell you how hard this was. im use to peping and paper folding i did it a lot when i was younger. but i have 3 printer and they are all broken and my nearest librarys printers were down so i HAD TO TAKE MY PEP FILE AND MAKE THEN INTO A PDF FILE and print them at the library. the libraries printer wouldn't recognize the pep program. then i accidentally printed them to light and with no edge ids.. so the build was really hard



If i go for full body armor its going to look like this

Now with the pep file alot of details were missing i outlined them here. i was wondering should i use cardboared or cardstock to make these details before i resin and fiberglass or should i fibreglass and and add these details later after bondoing with like foam or carboard and just paint over them?

Get the pictures up as soon as you can. Really, to have a successful thread, there should be pictures ready to go when you start.
 
sorry im new to all this i joined 2 years ago starting thios build but then quit and i finally got the courage and money to finally finish. do i just reply with the pictures is that whatv i should go for?
 
Upload to photobucket then copy the image URL. When you're making a post it'll have a insert picture button and then you'll paste the URL... Hope that makes sense :p
 
Completed my helmet yes~!! not as good as i thought but definitely what i expected from an amateur like my self. this is completed pictures after 3 layers of resin 2 layers of fiber glassing 2 layers of bondo 2 days of sanding 3 layers of primer 5 layers of spray paint. the lines up top and scratches are to show a run-in with a deadly elite with a sharp energy sword. hope you guys like it..
