Henlo! I am addicted to Helldivers 2. Lately my biggest hobby is spreading DEMOCRACY around the galaxy, crushing bugs and destroying evil robots that come to tear down our way of life. In my brand new star destroyer, the Princess of Family Values, I meet afternoon after afternoon with my comrades and we rush to the battlefield, crossing the atmosphere with our hearts filled with patriotism and a desire for liber-tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time I get hooked on a game, I have to honor it by creating something palpable with my own hands and this time I have relieved my creative cravings by building the B-01 tactical helmet<\/strong> to decorate my living room. For this, I have used the Pepakura files<\/a> from Heroes Workshop<\/strong> , which has very kindly given me permission to make this tutorial with their product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially I downloaded a 3D file of the aforementioned helmet, opened it with Pepakura and tried to prepare the file for craft foam myself, but I didn’t like the result. That’s when I saw that Heroes Workshop had put their files<\/a> up for sale , so I threw away the shit I was making and got this quality material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heroes Workshop Files<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When you open the file<\/a> , you can see the complete helmet in 3D on one side and the 2D display on the other. In the latter you can see the unfolded pieces with numbered edges and, if we click on each of them, we can see which area of \u200b\u200bthe 3D object it corresponds to. Likewise, only one side of the helmet has been deployed because it is mirrored and with these references we have more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I want to say with all this nonsense is that these files are great for those of us who have some experience working with craft foam because Heroes Workshop already says it in each of their products: they are files with a modified unfolding for EVA rubber \u2013 I must mention that with excellently cleaned edges and surfaces \u2013 and they require knowing how to use a minimum of the Pepakura Designer<\/a> software . It’s advisable to know how to scale, choose the paper format and move the pieces in the 2D panel. And most importantly: you have to have a certain skill when transferring the patterns to the final material because you have to visualize very well how you are going to join the pieces together.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don’t go, I’m here to help!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s see: in constructions like this it is highly crucial to sit in front of the model for a while, observe it and consider<\/strong> how each piece is connected to the adjacent ones. I already explain it in my book<\/a>: cutting the edges of the EVA foam at different angles to create volumes is an essential skill and, in elements like this helmet, it is critical.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
