The reason for doing this is to give the card more solidarity. just a thin layer it should go on like you're painting the model. mix up a small pot of resin you will need to first paint on a coat to the OUTSIDE of the helmet. remember to do it in a well ventilated area or outside on a good day. this stuff is a pain to work with at the best of times. You will not need a great amount but work with it carefully. Once the model is complete and you are happy with the result it is time for the resin and fibreglass. the eye sections can be left out completely as they obviously wont be needed. The best type of paper to use is thick card stock at least 120lb card. This stage is the most time consuming and most important, doing this right will save you a lot of time in the long run. Print out the helmet files and glue together, use pepakura viewer to locate each piece and glue them together. To begin download pepakura viewer as well as the files for the helmet i used red, black and silver spray paints i chose redįoam tiles found here - ( i used 7 sheets)Īssortments of paint. I have been a fan of Gears of War for a long time, so when my friend came to me in 2011 and asked for help building a suit of armor from the game Gears of War 2 that he could wear to a Halloween party I was excited to jump on the project.You will also need pepakura viewer to view the helmet file - ġ small piece of coloured plastic. Originally we talked about possibly building it out of metal but I had recently had to get stitches in my hand so I decided to try something that would allow me to plug away at it while sitting in my house instead of my shop. You can then coat that paper in a hardener of some kind like resin or Bondo, or just leave it as is if it isn’t going to see much abuse.įor those who don’t know, and don’t want to click the above link, Pepakura is a system that takes 3D models and breaks them down into shapes on a flat sheet of paper (or foam) that when glued together will make that 3D model in real life. For smaller items this consists of just a hand full of pieces needed to be put together and can be done in an evening, larger models can take thousands of pieces and many lifetimes to assemble (not really but it can feel like it). Like the over zealous newbie that I tend to be, of course I pick the kind of project that has almost a thousand pieces. Checking for x11 header files for beagle.
