I know, but not ALL of the available perms are in that picture; if you read the paragraph before, it says that those perms are the ones available on day one, and that as you rank up, there will be more and more perms available to you to buy

I can't wait to see this finished.
Okidoke,
So let me start off my explaining the reference issue. It wasn't the quality of the image I was going by that threw me off. It was the fact that upon reviewing the new material, I discovered that the old reference image was NOT a straight-on side shot of the helmet. It was slightly twisted toward the front of the helmet, which made the positioning of the ears wrong, and thus the entire front of the helmet was off. See below.
The new model went together rather quickly. Instead of going for a medium-high def model, I just went with medium definition to save time. Nothing really new to note, though, other than it's done and ready for pepakura.
And here is just a preview of what it looks like in Pepakura Designer. It looks like some of the seams didn't transfer correctly, so there are some open edges throughout the model. I'm not pepping it (at least not yet), but I figured I'd open the file in Designer to see what it looks like.
Like I said before, I don't have the capability to save files in Pepakura Designer yet, so I can't pep it myself and release the file. However, I have the file in .3Ds file format and in .3dm format (created in Rhino3D) for anyone who wants to give it a try. I'm hoping to see a "smoothed" version released if at all possible. If you request the file, I must ask that you insert my name ("David Reimer, aka torsoboy" would be preferred) into the file in both the file properties and on the paper-side of the screen. Email me at davre.gamob@gmail.com if you want to pep it, and I will email it back to you.

Lol, I'll try it out myself too >=]
Let's see who finishes the unfold and who has the best >=]
Consider the race on as soon as we get it >=]
Edit: Hey, this thing has ALOT of open edges, so if you could find someone who could clean that up, then I'd unfold it, but since there are too many open edges, I don't think a noob unfolder like me could do it.... Sorry

This is wicked dude! I saw the action figures at Target yesterday and immediately looked it up on here, I just wasn't able to respond soon enough. Can't wait for the unfold.

Hey nice job! I'm new to the 405th and I don't know how to unfold, so if you do find someone to unfold it, can you email me at ustaz@msn.com because I really like this design.

I've been trolling this site for a couple of years now and went ahead and manned up last year to get an account. Of all the things on here, this is the one I want the most. I am stoked about this and can't wait for the pep file. Nice job man !
Well, with all the recent swelling of interest in this project (i've been getting emails like crazy), and with my upcoming free time. I may just continue this project, pep it, sculpt it and get some casts going. But we'll see!
