Before committing to a large Pepakura build, try a small project first. Cutting out all the pieces and assembling is very tedious and time consuming, it’s fairly messy, and you need to be able to work in a well-ventilated area with a respirator.
If we were working on armor or a larger piece, we would use fiberglass resin.Īs another note, Pepakura is not for everyone. This method is NOT recommended for anything like a full set of armor because of the amount of CA glue you would need. CA glue is easier to use, not as toxic, and better for smaller scale projects like hand props, helmets, and maybe some weapons. One big difference between this method and most other Pepakura tutorials is instead of using fiberglass resin, I used CA glue. From that idea, different methods have formed. The basic idea is simple the design is printed out onto cardstock, cut out, assembled, and reinforced. Pepakura is specifically the program used to view and print out the 3D, but the process has taken on the name too. So what is Pepakura? Pepakura a type of papercraft that’s become a great way to create props and armor. The prop used in this tutorial is a splicer mask from Bioshock, but the same method was used for Queadlunn’s Mass Effect breather helmet. I learned a lot from the Replica Prop Forums (if you’re interested in prop and armor work, DEFINITELY visit this site, it’s a wonderful community) and Queadlunn gave me a lot of help along the way. This is my (Cata) first go at Pepakura and I definitely learned a lot.
