Pepakura

Yesterday I thought I would try Pepakura. Pepakura is the art of making models from paper.

I decided that I would try making a Daedric helmet. If this goes well I will have a great Halloween costume.

Pepakura starts with a design, I found mine with a small Google search. 

It looks like this once printed:



And basically you cut everything out, score and start gluing

Here is what happened.























I put all the pieces together and it ended up looking like this.


Next what you need to do is put fibre glass resin on it and paint it.

Just a shame its to small, I will have to make another...

I think I will start now....

Bye folks

Please let me know what you think of my WIP. Your friendly neighbourhood Bendy Benz.

I printed out the pattern the size it comes in I got half way through about 7 hours worth of work and realise it was far to small, so had to learn how to rescale the design. A little Google search helped. So I started again. This was the final result. Front Back The next step is resin. I resined both the helmets and the breast plate. I added these pins for the nail effect. The next step is Bondo. ...

Penny Dreadful

****Disclaimer Spoilers**** So I've been watching Penny Dreadful over the last few weeks ans last night was the last episode so I thought I would write down what I thought about it. So when I saw the adverts for I thought it was just a Gothic drama set in Victorian London. Boy was I wrong lets do a run down on the characters. Sir Malcolm Murray Sir Malcolm is the main protagonist. He is an aged explorer. The story is centred around him and his quest to find his daughter, Mina, who has been taken by an entity known only as the master. (My bet is the master is none other then Dracula) He shares his house with: Vanessa Ives Vanessa is essentially Sir Malcolm's adoptive daughter. He has known her all her life.
