New Project

From Jonathan's Projects

So the Iron Man armor has been a no go since the last post. I haven't had the drive to continue it.

But last weekend I started a new project, the Hylian Shield from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I came across the Pepakura for it more than a year a go but never made a start till now. The Pep comes in two parts, the main body of the shield and the detail which is then attached to the top.
I've completed assembling the Pep, but I've not attached the detailing yet. I plan on waiting until the shield face has been filled and rounded until I add the detail otherwise it will just get lost under the filler used to round the face.

I've also added a brace to the back to keep it rigid until the fiberglassing has been done. I hope to start the fiberglassing this weekend.

I downloaded the Pepakura file from the Section Sixteen forum. The links below, however you need to be registered to download the attachments. As they're not my files I'm not going to link to them directly, you will have to register to get them.

  1. The link for the section sixteen forums doesn't work (technically it does and that part of the site was shut down for inactivity). is there a way to get the pepakura still?

  2. Hi! I realize this post is old, but it looks like sectionsixteen doesn't work anymore. I am having a heck of a time finding files for the shield. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
