Because of the highly faceted nature of this model, I redid the unfold several times before I decided that it was good enough. The seams in the model still didn't end up being symmetrical, but I made most of the sections into L-shaped pieces so the additive errors from the pep build would end up correcting themselves along the way.THORSSOLIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516438163774818381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273988955217846164.post-43854774907732042132012-12-10T10:33:12.343-08:002012-12-10T10:33:12.343-08:00When I put together the paper model of my Aquila M...When I put together the paper model of my Aquila MK VII Space Marine helmet I built a bit of the model before completely I scrapped the unfold and did it again myself.
