Pepakura Helmet

[Spatenkrieger]

Hey Scout Troopers,

today I would like to show you my build of the scout trooper helmet made out of paper.

 

First I printed and cut out the pieces.

 

I started glueing some of them together.

I will update this thread on a (hopefully) daily base.

Very cool stuff! Pepakura has always fascinated me. Will you be able to make the Visor/Faceplate flip up and separate from the base of the helmet like the standard helmets available?

[Spatenkrieger]

I have to, because my head is quiet big and it propably will not fit into the helmet from the bottom.

Both parts are seperated, however I will tape them together as long as I am glueing, so the parts where the faceplate is connected to the rest of the helmet is lined up correctly.

Now I glued the missing pieces together.

It's not perfect, but it looks like a scout trooper helmet.

Next Step:

Use Polyester Harz (I don't know the english word) to make it hard.

Pretty cool; looks great!

A quick summary of the last couple of days:

1. I painted the helmet with Polyester Harz and let it dry. When its dry I used a filler to rounden the edges and make it solid.

 

I will finish my current task and will move on to make it wearable. If you know a way to lift the faceplate and use a liner in just one piece, let me know!
