finished fiberglassing the helmet tonight, thinking about trying rondo out on the inside, not sure if itll make much of a difference, but we'll see!

i do suggest a coat or two of rondo, nothing crazy. Enough to coat the inside and smooth it out a little plus add strength. Your project is coming along nicely man!

there were certain spots on the grenadier pep piece that were a little too flimsy for comfort, so we took some old cards and used them to reinforce those areas, and put a coating of resin over them, it ended up working really well

That's a cool idea with the old playing cards. I'm going to steal that

I looked at this and I was under the impression this was just another project under the belt, but the fact that it's the first for you guys is impressive, it looks really great. I'll be keeping an eye on this definitely. As well, yay on the multi-threat.
