Boushh Boushh Helmet WIP

[Skupilkinson]

Well, Metasequoia has a native formet when saving your work. It's known as .MQO. This format opens in Pepakura too. Though you need Pepakura Designer, not the viewer to create these papermodel templates. That's free too but the problem with the free version is that you can't save your work. So you'll need an afternoon free to unfold your work AND print it straight away because you won't be able to save it. You will be able to export the 2D templates as a BMP image/images but they will have "SAMPLE" all over them in red. Though for our purposes I don't suppose that matters too much.

I hope that helps.

As for Boushh, the modelling is all done and it's been approved by the friend I did it for. Smaller details have been left out as they're not needed at this point. They can be scratchbuilt later. Now it's time to unfold this in Pepakura.

Here's a pic I did of it.

Yes! Thanks for the info...You answered questions that I would've just came back to ask! Seeing how the full Pepakura is under $40, I might just get that, since I'd constantly be interrupted (e.g. "Daddy, is it done yet?" ... "Not yet." ... "Daddy, is it done yet?" ... "Not quite." ... "Daddy, is it done yet?" ... "Yes. It's done!" ... "Liar!" Hahaha) Thanks again. And by the way, your helment here looks awesome!

You're welcme buddy. The free version does have a tendancy to crash on occasion. Especially if working on something complex, which was very frustrating for me before I got the full thing.

Good luck!

That sure is a nice looking Boushh model you've got there, Skip!

 

[Beefheart]

That's swell.

I've always been partial to the Boushh helmet since I was a kid.

I'm lookin forward to builds.

 

[Skupilkinson]

Good to see ya Ruze!

Glad you both like it. I won't be building this one. At least not anytime soon. This was created for my friend but I'll be making it available for others soon. So, I'll be looking forward to a build up or two also.

 

[psberetta]

Whoa!!!
You are GREAT with this stuff. The detail you are pulling off with your skills is insane man.

Awesome job.

Wow!! Very nice! You can expect a build from me when it's available. This one looks like it could be a lot of fun.

 

[Skupilkinson]

Thanks alot buddy! I've not had a chance to unfold it yet. I've had a few commission jobs for helmets lately so I've been working on those first. I'll get Boushh ready inbetween as time permits.

If anyone here is interested in a commission helmet design they can visit my blog for details. The link is in my sig.

 

[tbone9600]

No worries. I'm still working on the RG Helmet.

 

[GCNgamer128]

Whoa, that looks sweet!

 

[WetOkole]

HAHAHA!!! Oh you know you got a PM from buddy!!

 

[SinisterFett]

That's one hell of a design job on that helmet. It should come out looking sweet. Always had a penchant to aquire a set of schematics for that lid.......I guess I'll have to take a leaf out of your book and do my own. Ah too many jobs and not enough time or space

 

[Skupilkinson]

Thanks again guys. I'm looking forward to getting some build pics from the friend I did this one for.

WetOkole, PM?? I've not had one. Though I've been wanting to chat with ya buddy.

 

[mckenic]

Woah!

Looking good! I think I'll have to head over to your blog Skupilkinson! Everything youve posted here looks so sweet...

Well done on the helmet - be really interested to see how you progress!

[CombatBaby]

man that helmet is looking fantastic

 

[Skupilkinson]

Thanks very much. Thanks too for visiting the blog.

I think I've mentioned before but this was modelled for a friend to build. He'll be sending me pics as he goes so I'll post them here too. Unless he does first. I won't have the time to build this, at least not anytime soon.
