Figures that after years of procrastination, I get a 4-day to start my costume and TDH goes down haha.
So, over this last weekend, I printed off the WizardOfFlight templates and cut them out in poster board to get an understanding on how they all fit together. I immediately ran into a new problem. I have no idea how to fit all the pieces together. Some of them are obvious, and a few have corresponding letters, but especially regarding the cheekbone plates and other angled parts. I was unsure how to fit them all together. The result was...something like this (See attached thumbnail)
It may be hard to see, but the pieces don't appear to fit together properly. That made me realize that I have no idea how to angle the cheek pieces correctly. Is there a tutorial somewhere that discussion how to properly fit these pieces together using a template (this one or any template?) Or am I just over-thinking it, and it's simply a matter of cutting out extra tabs to each piece that can be glued and attached? I was also thinking of trying RafalFett's templates. Which brings up another question, is there a difference in ESB and RoTJ helmet templates? And to that end, if I'm not aiming for a 1:1 perfect replica (this is my first Fett Bucket,) will it make that much of a difference? If not, what is the best first timer template you would recommend?
Thank you in advance.
