I've been procrastinating this thing for months and finally, I kick myself up and started to do this. I found this tutorial while I was searching for videos on youtube and bam!, I found this amazing one. It never cross my mind once, you know, built a cowl or a mask, or a helmet for cardboard and when I finally saw this, I go crazy. You know, for a fangirl like me, this is super cool. So after see this video, I search for more things. You know, that's a lot of ways to work with pepakura. I saw one that you glue all the pieces together and after you use fiber glass, but for me, this way means "super trouble". Also, I don't have a lot of money to spend doing this, so I choose this one. Is done with cardboard, and you can find cardboard everywhere. The one that I'm working were given by my mother. But you can find it on supermarket too. Well, after I have enough cardboard, I print the pattern and started to cut and then, transfer to the cardboard. By far, draw the pattern on the cardboard is the best, but cut it off, dammit, is a shit. I cut all the pieces an week or two ago and today I went to buy more glue for my hot glue gun (because I don't had enough). I started gluing some parts today, but not all. I think is this. I will put down the links, to the video and blog (you will find the pattern and everything to do this).
