hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster (oh no, not another one..)
really impressed with the caliber of work and the sheer talent a lot of you possess, its definitely a humbling thing just to see some of the jaw-dislocating output on this forum.
thought i'd dive in the deep end and try my hand at pepakur'ing my first ever paper model, cutting my teeth on Dannifood4less's MKVI helm (thanks for the brilliant model, mate!)
this achieved, as you can see, a pretty average result, but i wasnt under any delusion that i'd create a perfectly formed master(chief)piece first time (or second, or third..) what was important to me was to see how the whole system worked; how easy/hard it would be to produce a good result, as well as discovering the in's and out's of scaling and time/effort required. i know now that there are certain parts that require a keener attention to detail, and some areas are all but impossible to line up properly if youre not paying attention. now i know the problem areas, and what to do/not to do next time i attempt this, which will be very soon.
please ignore the multi-coloured cardstock.. as embarrassing (and noobish) as it is, i used it cause A) it was all i had on hand, and B) i was too impatient to go to the store and get some good stuff, i just had to print and cut and paste! im sure you all have been there before...
without much further waffling on..
