Skyrim Papercraft: Iron Helmet

Skyrim Iron Helmet Bastelbogen
My papercrafter cohort Brandon appears to have been busy this Thanksgiving holiday cranking out papercraft models from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This iron helmet paper model is his fourth Skyrim papercraft to be released in the past two days. This particular helmet is the one the playable character is shown wearing in nearly all the publicity for the video game. The Pepakura PDO template for the helmet is available here.

      Models built with cardstock can be surprisingly sturdy.

      There are a lot of different processes you can do to harden it. I like using resin and fiberglass cloth.

      The file opens with the free "Pepakura Viewer" software from Tamasoft, which is not available for Macs as far as I know. You will have to get someone with a PC to open the file with the software and then export out a PDF file with a program like CutePDF if you want to open the template on a Mac.

    Is there a way to get this so its not so lumpy (for lack of a better word) so I can print it then trace it onto wonderflex?

      By "not so lumpy", you mean less angular/more smooth? Maybe if someone were really good at 3D modeling they could smooth out the original 3D model before unfolding it in Pepakura.
