Yes only use it where its needed. Trust me, from personal experience you do not want to cover the whole dang thing in bondo otherwise it will not look as clean and you will be sanding for WEEEEEEKS.
If you're going to jump in on the deal, do it now. I'm excited to get mine!
*Grabs the tent, coffee maker, and sleeping bag and runs to be the first one in line* That looks great! I really like how it came out. Do you have any idea on how much the price of a cast would be?...
I'm going to go pick up my jaw from the floor... Dave that is just... WOW! I don't know how else to put it. I know I've said this before, but I am looking forward to the possibility of getting my...
Cereal I have to say you are making me drool at the mouth with every update. The helmet and the chest are INCREDIBLE! I personally cannot for the life of me stand using Bondo. It's my sworn enemy!

I'm happy I got to meet both of you guys at PCC! (I was the guy who pointed you in the direction for the Microsoft booth.) You guys both looked great!
That would be me! Fantastic looking armor Roxy. I'm glad to have finally met you in person yesterday. I was surprised I only saw you twice throughout the entire weekend, then again I was by the Star...
Well I promise you just because I haven't posted in a long time, which was just over 2 months ago doesn't mean I haven't been working. I have managed to so far pep every piece except for my right...
Looks great! Nice job! You might want to look into darkening your visor a little more, we can still see your eyes in some of the photos. You could probably just put a layer of dark black limo tint...
Looks great Walker! Just out of curiosity, what chest model did you use?
Ah ok thank you, good idea. And Yes that is a common problem with the forearms I've ran into it myself actually. My plan to fix it after its hardened by either cutting out the front end of it after...
Very nice job so far! I especially like how your shoulders turned out, I just finished pepping both of mine and I can't wait to get them resined. For the parts on the side, did you just attach them...
Aero I ran into the same problem. What I'm planning to do is when its hardened is carve out the front edge just enough to fit my hand in OR cut it in half and attach it using rare earth magnets or a...
Wow that's looking great so far! Looking forward to seeing this done! You're going to play some Grifball after this right?
I'm not actually doing a Recon chest, just a Reach one. Though I think what you have to do is make a mark VI chest piece and add the attachment to that.
Update:
I finished one of the shoulders...
It's where you add a layer of black paint to give the weathering some texture and depth.
this should help:

Wow that looks awesome! I personally think the weathering looks good, black wash it a little and I think it would be right on. Keep it up!
From what i can see it looks good! It's hard to get the full grasp of the detail in the helmet with pictures of that size. I can't wait to see that done!
Wow that is impressive work! It almost looks straight from the game! I have to agree with every one here, this is Elite status I think.
Welcome back! What do you have in mind as far as what you want to do for your armor? Which game was it that you played?
I'm excited to see what you come up with!
I have yet to see Captain America, which really sucks for me. I can't wait to see it though I've heard its really good.
I have to admit I'm excited to see this. I am a big fan of the avengers, especially Ironman. This is what years of waiting after every Marvel movie for little tid bits of this to lead up to.
Sorry I thought he mean't an actual visor, not the paper pep one that's why I suggested the posicle sticks.
Your chest pep is looking fantastic! Very clean folds.
The more and more that I look at those helmets the more I start to like the look. I may have to make my own one of these days. Looking forward to seeing the progress!
