Using a shareware program called Pepakura Designer - and techniques pioneered by the members of the HALO costuming forum - we’re going to walk through the creation of a wearable, science-fiction helmet prop (Figure 2-1). What they don’t say is that you don’t actually need any of it for prop making and costuming.įor genuinely professional-looking results, all that’s really needed is a computer with an ordinary printer materials that are readily available at a local hardware store, hobby store, and office supply center and some patience. Technology websites and magazines are filled with countless articles about the latest developments in rapid prototyping and 3D printing. I would love to see a picture if you do.Ī lot of amazing new technology is available to makers today. I did not make the Pepakura files for the helmet, just fyi. I would say the armor is 95% screen accurate to the TCW version of the clone trooper, so it is not perfect but it's pretty close. The files were heavily modified from the BSD Rex files that I found online.
I have provided a list of what the files are actually named in English. To match the helmets is a clone trooper armor! LIFE SIZED!!!!! It took me forever to find this armor.

For pieces like the chest, you obviously only need one in the end.Īlso, sorry for the late › ▲▲ Clone Trooper Armor Pepakura Files For Foam You can flip over the template and reuse it to make a symmetrical second armor piece. I would like to point out that whole parts like the gauntlet, shoe, shin, thigh, bicep, handplate, shoulder and maybe some others only appear once in the template. Like this: b -> d It's a mirror image of the original. It just means to trace it on one side then turn the template over and use it on the opposite side to make another trace on the foam. I admit the "Flip x2" is a little confusing. Some of the edges will get cut off if you use anything other than US Letter, but honestly as long as you have the basic shape, you can guess the bit that gets cut off. I used US Letter sized paper for mine, but you could probably use a4 just make sure to use the original image size when you print and don't convert it to a4 or it will shrink the template to fit the different paper.
