kiel814 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Looking good! It looks like you are based on the same file that I used (not the one in my profile picture). It seems strange that you had to enlarge some parts. Mine actually looks huge to me.
Murderink Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 I changed the scale and also changed a few parts in pep designer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Murderink Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Have done quite a bit if work to the forehead and snout hump to get it to look right, when I get a chance I will 3d scan a mates altmanns helmet and make a complete pep file based off that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Murderink Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 A little more progress tonight on the faceplate and visor, refining the details a little more prior to resin and glass Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
bugdozer Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 For people like me who aren't familiar with this technique, can you explain how you're going to turn this into an actual hard helmet?
Murderink Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 For people like me who aren't familiar with this technique, can you explain how you're going to turn this into an actual hard helmet? Once all the card sections are completed, I will then brush on about 3 to 4 coats of resin this will then absorb into the card stock once dried it will turn it to a rigid plastic like substance. I will then layer fibreglass matting on the inside. Then Bondo on the outside and sanding to finish the detailing. The helmet next to the current build was constructed in the exact same manner.

bugdozer Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Wow, that's amazing! I'd never have guessed that helmet started as card.
Murderink Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 Wow, that's amazing! I'd never have guessed that helmet started as card.thanks man, the finished one took 6 months to do as I only had images to work off, this build should go a lot quicker.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Murderink Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 Added a little more detail last night Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
spookymufu Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 wow, that finished helmet was cardboard once??? amazing
stasz Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I wasn't all that familiar with pep prior to seeing this thread. This is really incredible! Thanks for sharing the process. I'll be following.
Murderink Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 A little more progress made, not much as I have been a bit sick. Put on a coat of resin and some body filler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Murderink Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Also started on the main dome section. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Murderink Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 As you can see still a few things that need to be corrected, re measured and cut to size the visor needs to be extended in the middle and length added to the sides but I'm pretty happy with how quick I have got this one made so far.
