Looks pretty good so far Halogirl. I have a few pointers that may help I also am new to the crazy world of pep and armor making and I think that for my first attempt I would have to say that my Mark VI looks pretty damn good even if it did take a month and two paint jobs to complete. 
First pointer is before folding weather it be valley or mountain folds always score the fold lines first this helps greatly to make them crisper. Second pointer, hot glue is a thing of wonder makes things soooo much easier. My piece was done with craft glue or shoud I say crap glue. LOL Also something that may more not save you some time as it did for me was nearly all of my piece were cut with a sissors not a hoby knife. And lastly when working with your body work, I.E. bondo always mix in smaller batches and try to get your hardner ratio down. And also when sanding I use mesh paper made for the sanding of drywall compound so as to not cake the paper and it seems to last longer as well. Hope these tips help.
