Pepakura bucket Question

Post by Barbarossa »

Started working on a pepakura bucket was wondering if a pepakura bucket would work for a ROTS costume.

Pepakura is a good start for a base. You will need to fiberglass and smooth the edges smooth. Seen a few folks do these. Long Process not to be rushed.

So long as it looks like the right shape, color, and gloss I don't think if it matters if it were made of plastic, fiberglass, paper, or grass. So long as it looks good I think it's great.

Been slowly working on this but this is where I'm at I'm having my doubts about it fitting my large head but if all else I'll finish for a display.

Well I'm sure it won't fit now. When I put it on the sides of the face push out alittle, but oh well still gonna finish it.
