I asked for a link to the pep in a different thread and got the file yesterday... So today....

Then, I slopped on some resin and a quick test fit:

I taped off the holes for the horns, I'll add them later, but smoothing will be easier this way:

I then slushed resin inside the helmet for strength:

Pulled off the tape and...:

Then I slopped on the filler:

First sanding:

More later, I think today has been plenty productive...

quick bondo tip: use lots and lots of thin layers to round something out, those bondo scrapers they sell dont hurt either. itll save you time and bondo.

that being said, your making good progress. keep up the nice work.

So I got a bit more done today after getting a driving ticket on the way to home depot... Tried to beat traffic by taking some side streets and I overlooked a "no right turn between 7 and 9am" street sign. (pulled over at 8:50am!!!!) Hope I sell some of these and make up for the ticket. haha

Okay enough venting! ON TO THE PROGRESS!!!!!

And I made a horn today:

I think I will make a horn mold first rather than making two of these from paper and bondo.... Should take a few days... But there is still plenty to do... Thoughts?
