this is the same on various clone specifiic boards, btu thought I would show you guys what I have been up to
also to show what I do with a pepakura base

the helmet started a long while ago as a blending of the 3d model released by armecore and skip's
Posted Image

it looked pretty off to begin with, but a nice base

I have cut into it quite extensive, moved bits around and built up various bits and pieces till it looks like this now

Posted Image

I am in the process of widening the eyes and building up the nose bridge and sorting out smoothness of the dome
the next bit I wanted to work on was he cheek area.

currently looks like this

weird - had problems posting on the forums for ages - I have completed the project - progress pics ongoing

pepakura is really patience versus frustration, lots of sanding and re-sanidng
