Okay, so I started my progress on the paper modeling probably about a week and a half ago. I have been following some blogs and looking up online articles about how to do everything I think I will need to know and I decided I was ready to give it a go!
First I had to figure out how I was going to print everything off because I had to turn the file into a PDF and didn’t know how to do that, but once I figured it out it was no problem!
After that, I got to work on what I thought would be the easiest piece to work on, the hands. They weren’t bad, but I soon realized many mistakes I was making. I didn’t score the crop lines as I made it so all of my folds were very rough, I used tape to put it together instead of glue which altered the layers and integrity of it (especially if I added tape externally), and I didn’t have the sizing right! So they were trash, but I got some good experience out of the way!
Eventually I was ready to move on to the chest piece.
I downloaded the low rez version to make sure I had the sizing right.
After that I decided to go ahead and start on the helmet. I always played with the EOD helm but the Mark VI is far more recognizable so the EOD will have to wait till later. unfortunately, my big fat head wouldn't fit through the hole so the helmet was too small too.
After that I decided to work on my Left Thigh piece. (I kept changing pieces because I already printed everything out... another mistake) so I got it all done and hey... IT FIT!
Well... not really. While it holds onto my leg it is actually about an inch too long (that's what she said) and I cannot bend my knee properly... so I will be remaking this piece as well.
