so for a project in school im going to do a sort of pep odst helmet. im using rundowns model, i couldnt find who unfolded it. and im doing something a bit different. instead of fibreglassing, im going to be using plaster gause which is fairly nice and easy to mold. this is going to be my first pep and my first helmet.

just a helpful tip, the plaster does cause warping, even with a coat of resin. I noticed this problem after working about 1 inch up the inside of my helmet, so i decided to test another idea of mine, i used about 2 coats of adhesive spray to make it more water prof, and it seemed to work!!! the spray also seemed to give the surface a nice texture to let the plaster grab on to. if you looking for a way to make armor less toxic, then you can probably completely replace resin and fiberglass with adhesive spray and plaster... if you put enough coats on....
not sure if it makes a difference but i put my plaster gauze on the inside (about 2 layers), and bondoed the outside, also i noticed that your helmet didn't have any padding on the inside. was the helmet constantly moving when you wore it? because i'm sure that can easily break the plaster.
