The shoulder bells and a little show of how I go about the "Score&Snap" method.
You probably can't see it but my hand were getting really sore at that point.
The biceps. Ow.
Some geometry to work on more complex shapes to cut out.
Arms are all trimmed.
Now attacking my butt plate with the X-acto!
My work station securely guarded by my cat, Timmy.
Having finished separating the butt plate, I felt like something more challenging...
The plastic was actually quite flimsy here, didn't even need to poke too hard. I call this the Poke&Twist method for drilling holes.
Carving from the inside out to control what I'm doing and not damage the "face"...
Will finish this later with a triangular filer.
Eyes ready to be carved out!
Not afraid to snap some parts off, I was feeling good about myself.
Hm, it will need to be sanded down thoroughly...
The left eye looks okay I guess.
Trimming the "cap" of the helmet. I don't have a hole-puncher to prevent it from tearing at the high corner (where the brow time stops) so I will need to be extra careful with this piece.
Brow trim fitted.
Preview of what it should look like before I rivet both pieces together.
I was so excited when I got the helmet to take this shape. I'm super happy with how easy the trimming is and how it's turned out.
