im going to glue all of the carstock for all of the pices before i do anything else

well, i realise now that trying to get someone to scale it for me is retarded =P

Also, i have no plans for fiberglass or resin yet, im gonna do better projects like that when i get a job and have money. I managed to procure some super glue, so i've been using that and its working out fine. Kinda left the armor area a bit, now im working on a reach knife and sheath. I think ill convince my mom to get me some cardstock soon so itll be better work.

I'm really enjoying this, so i think i may turn this little test into a full-on hobby of mine ;]

Yep it certainly did for me as for scaling a helmet, The way I do it is height... Chin to top of head then adding one or one and a half inches for padding...
And you know just cuz I thought it was funny... I don't think we need your age XD

Its freekin' super glue.
Also, three tubes of super glue is 99c at Harbor Freight, so thats some bang for your buck.

Um i put the glue on there, and i let it dry? not trying to be rude, but its pretty simple
