This tutorial includes a lot of sanding so you’ll need to clean regularly, keep the area well ventilated and wear both safety goggles, gloves and a respirator with appropriate dust particle filters. You’ll need Pepakura Designer or Viewer plus a printer in order to view, modify and print the templates needed for your build We got our Deathstroke file off JFcustom’s massive thread on theRPF.com.

Now for a list of materials: + Crafting knife with fresh blades or exacto knife. + Hotglue gun with plenty of gluesticks. + Painters tape / masking tape + 5-6 sheets of 6mm thick Craft foam preferably black. My Sheets are usually A4 sized. + Heat gun + Scissors + PVA glue / Wood glue (Get a regular 500ml bottle cheap at any DIY store) + Acrylic Wallfiller + Kitchen sponges (Buy a pack of 10 small ones for cheap at any supermarket) + Black acryllic / waterbased colour. GW paint works just perfect. + Black and gold spray (Anything metallic with an orange tint works – not copper though) + Car window shade filter sheet. (This is used as a decal to apply a ‘fake’ carbon fibre look) + Grit paper – both heavy grit and fine detail. (Buy a mixed package with samples for cheap) + Mouse sander / hand sander (optional) + Black elastic fabric band 1½ - 2inches wide + Round bowl or shape with a curve that roughly resembles the back of your head. + Clean Water in pot & paper towels for brush dry-up, colour wiping or spills. + Primer spray – red and grey (the grey one is optional) + Clear glossy spray varnish
