Project "New Vegas"


I'm "working" currently on a papercraft model of the NCR Elite Ranger from Fallout New Vegas, here's a picture of one of these guys:
fallout.wikia.com

This is what the helmet looks like at the moment.


The 11 pages that I still have to cut out, fold and glue together, are the backside of the mask, the camera/lamp thingy on the right side, and a piece on the inside of the mask to connect it to the helmet. Now the two parts are not yet connected to each other.
After I've finished the papercraft, I'm gonna use resin and fiberglass fabric to harden the entire thing.
When it's hard (tehehe), there's some grinding to do, to get a round helmet.
This is going to be some fun, since I've never done it before.
I think the whole thing still looks a bit too wide, but this will be an easy fix imo.

So, I think I'm going to continue the work on tuesday evening, and then posting a new picture.
By the way, I'm not going to post pictures of the previous steps because they were taken with my phone and therefore don't look that good.
