Orcish Dagger - Resin Time

On to putting resin on these two guys...well at least the crap one first just to understand what the hell I am doing.

I am using 3M's fiberglass resin product with the supplied hardener. For every 1 ounce of resin you would add 10 drops of hardener. Luckily the bottom line on all solo cups is exactly 1 ounce..plus easy clean up as well. Make sure to have gloves and respirator masks in an area that has constant fresh air...this stuff will knock you out!

Here it is before...

 ....and after first coat..

Orcish Dagger - Paper done!

Finally finished all the paper, cutting and gluing part of this project. Here are the two finished blades. Left one is the scrape tester and the right one is the better version. Going to start resin coating next on the tester to see best practices again....will updated on that soon.

Controller for scale....they should be 1:1 scale.

Orcish Dagger - Continued...

So after a couple days of gluing...and re-cutting ...and re-gluing  I managed to come up with two of these guys. One is awful but it helps me understand best practices with pepakura. I would recommend to anyone doing this...do the same thing. Make a crappy version and be prepared to do it over. The second one is the more accurate and refined one.

Which BTW here is the link for the Viewer

And the link for the file for the Orcish Dagger.

I can not lay any claim to creating the file....I just used it.

Orcish Dagger - Part 2

So started gluing everything together, I highly recommend using disposable rubber gloves while doing this process.

The cutting was a pain for sure but the gluing is something that requires a bit more attention. All lines and folds need to line up perfectly other wise you get a wonky or off center shape.

Orcish Dagger - Part 1

After....I dont know a day of razor blades and painful wrist action....I managed to cut all the parts out....USE A RULER WHEN CUTTING....I will show why...

First Project - Orcish Dagger

So I figured for my first project I would try my hand at some pepakura stuff...amazing how much detail can be achieved with some card stock and super glue.

 And this is how it starts out....a crap ton of paper....
