I meant, will you be using your master mold to cast the helmet, and then finishing the cast. If you are only doing one run, your best bet would be to just dremel it.

No....It's just staying the pepakura.....no silicon going on this thing!

Can I get in on the file too? I have an idea of making one for my friend.
Is it already unfolded though?

Here is the link to the file http://db.tt/yDSaH7Yu
It is already unfolded and ready to be printed off. Just remember that you may need to rescale it first

Time for another update!





As you can see...... I have barely done anything. Refining the dome and sanding the crap out of this thing is all I have been doing lately.

See you later!

Hey ohhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Time for a big update gentleman, HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS!

A lot has happened since I last posted here. The mouth has been cut out and the visor has been dremeled out. The sanding is almost done, too!



I'm not sure if I'm still gonna do the smiley mouth........I have learned from the past to leave well enough alone, so I don't think I want to try it. Sorry guys! Maybe if I get a spike of self confidence in the next few days, I'll see what I can do.

The visor has also been dremeled out. That was a fun experience! By the time I was done, I could barely see out of my glasses from all the dust. Wear a mask, Kiddies!

I also bought some acrylic plastic for the visor, which I plan to make a buck for to shape the curvature. I know most people use PETG, but I prefer the thickness of acrylic and also....it's more accurate, as The real helmet's visors were done in acrylic plastic.

The only hurdle left to tackle is the ear pucks, but I know somebody who might let me use his lathe for it....so that will hopefully be a productive experience. I also plan to do the mid seam in the next couple of days.

I'm really happy to almost see this project finished. All the sanding, time, and money has definitively paid off! Thanks to everyone for the comments, they keep me motivated! Next stop.....priming, wet sanding, painting, tinting, gluing, carving......some more sanding.......Oh...and I need to make a visor buck!

Still lots to do! Stay tuned...................

( I'm so sorry for the horrible pics guys! I plan on buying a better camera soon!)
