Building Scout Armour- Pepakura

[Darth Zags 1497]

I'm going to attempt to build my first suit of Armour using pepakura and fiberglass. I know that there hasn't been any 501st approved pepakura armour for the Scout, but I think it's still worth a try.

 

I will share progress as much as I can, but I'm very busy so this might take some time.

 

Cheers

Good luck, man! Keep us posted.

I haven't forgotten about this. Building the paper structure takes longer than I thought.

If you think the paper is the long part... that is the only part I like. Very relaxing. Sanding, not so much

I’m finished all the paper parts for now. Still missing are the Knee pads and holster. I haven’t found any good knee pad pepakura files, so I’ll attempt to sculpt it myself using 3D software Maya.

It might take a while until I can do the resin coats

Good luck... I'm doing same with foam and epoxy resin. Lots of skills to learn and loads to build. I have learnt how to use a sewing machine for the soft parts... love it!! I can't find any decent holster or belt files. Have found 3d files for holster just looking for some to print it!
