Hi guys!
I'm new here at TDH, and I was watching AntMan's second cardboard helmet scratch build.
I made a Boba Fett helmet using Skip's Papekura design, but this model was made of paper, so I wasn't satisfied with the weak structure of it.
Here is the helmet.
So I started the helmet build again, now using Wizard OF Flight's templates combined with Skip's papekura helmet. The materials used are 2mm cardboard from some unused document holders and 0,5 mm cardboard from other type of document holder, for glueing I used superglue, and for the visor I found a black transparent paper dossier.
I don't want to start a new how-to-build thread, I just want to show you my steps of scratch building.
After I printed the templates, I used carbon paper to transfer them on the cardboard.
Here are the inner and the outer parts of the helmet.
I didn't used AntMan's cardboard water-bending instructions, instead I made some vertical stripes with a used ballpen on the back of the parts needed for bending, then with care I used step by step pressure on each helmet part until I get the desired form.
Then with care I glued them together.
Thanks to Little Boba Fett, a was able to do all this for now.
Ow! By the way, I mentioned that I'm a PaperCraft fanatic?
Here they are!
Enjoy!
