Good luck!
Are you going to cast in in fiberglass when finishing the papercraft version?

That is the plan as long as it looks good. I stared a Cyberman a while back and it didn't turn out so well and I had to scrap it.Red Eye wrote:Good luck!

Once I get a little more experience I'll go back to the Cyberman. I think it was a little too advance for my current skills.Red Eye wrote:Sorry to hear that.

I see.
Was it a classic or new Cyberman?

Re: Starting with the helmet...
It was a new Cyberman. I got screwed up somewhere with the helmet section...nothing seemed to lineup correctly. Later I found that I glued 2 sections together that fit perfectly, but there was another piece that was supposed to go in between.Red Eye wrote:I see.

Re: Starting with the helmet...
Looking great.
Thought I would post this, perhaps it will inspire others.
My advice is patience, don't try to glue too many parts at once. I found, glue 3-4 parts or tabs if it a complex curve. let stand for few minutes. Then do a few more tabs. I prefer to do like 10-12 parts, then let sit for a few hours. I takes time but the result is better, less sloppy.
In the first pic is a 3D render of the helm. The second pic is the first prototype construction. I am currently in construction of a second one, as I discovered several problem while building the first one. Any questions just ask.

Re: Starting with the helmet...
Very cool, groupleaderzeta! I've looked at your thread before and it looks great.
I've been taking it very slow and so far so good. I am very concerned with some of the larger curves...that seems were I have my biggest issues.

Re: Starting with the helmet...
Don't sweat, just go slow, maybe just do 2 tabs at a time. what glue are you using?
I use Elmer's school glue ( I have a 6yr old so I have lots)
