Things I learned today (riding mask) (Patreon)

• my paper crafting skill is far from expected;
• even though I double checked the dimensions and scaled the mask to match my face, it still appeared MUCH bigger than I expected

Well, as they say, practice makes perfect. Indeed I've learned a lot about creating paper patterns using Pepakura. Conclusions so far:

• gonna start with measuring my face and creating a proper sized model of it in 3d, so I could adjust mask way better;
• gonna make it smaller for logic/comfort sake. More like Mortal Combat masks;
• when making test paper models to check the dimensions, simplify them as much as possible to save time for cutting and glueing patterns together;
• the final template (the one that'll be used to create a plastic mask itself) should be made by 3d printing, not papercraft. That's way more accurate and symmetrical.

Thus the quest continues!
