Well um, this is my first build and thread.

I've been lurking here for too long and I finally want to build, so I figured I'd start with something not too difficult to assemble. Anyways the pepping only took a few hours at most and I'm happy with the way it came out, even if there are some small gaps here and there. The helmet is a bit small for my big head but I don't mind since I want it more as a display piece, but I will put some padding on the inside if anyone wants to wear it.

Now onto the pics!

The finished pepped helmet

And then I hot glued on some cardboard pieces for some extra details. Noting fancy or super precise, just to help get some details in and help for later in the build

Also put a peice on the inside to help the helmet hold shape

Lastly I put these on both sides

That's all I got for now, not that bad of a start I think, but I gotta go out and get some brushes for the resin and fiberglass. Also gotta check if my old resin is still good to use before I harden up the helmet. Anyways I'll update when I can if I make more progress soon

I only just recently passed on my MoZ Mark V to a friend for her Donut. It's a simple build, but with some extra work it can be made into an excellent helmet. Mine served me well for years.
 
I saw you were using your glue gun but are you using the white glue for anything ?

I only used it for one piece while pepping. I had it on the side just in case I had a part that would take too long to put in and I didn't want the hot glue cooling down before I put the piece in
 
Creative idea about using the cardboard for added depth and detail. I've seen people use cardstock and craft foam too in case you want to give that a try.
 
So I hit a bump in the building process

My fiberglass resin kit was too old so when I applied the resin it turned green and isn't hardening

This means I gotta start all over. But I'm not too bummed out, now I can re-size the file to actually fit my head and I'll be able to wear it. Just gotta go out and get more cardstock and a resin kit to start things over. At least I learned something and now I know to be careful in the future. Hopefully I'll be able to make progress on a new one soon

Small little update now.

So I did go out and get more cardstock and I'm now building another helmet. I'm trying out the HD model by Rundown, it's a step up from the MOZ file but I'm taking my time with it. This time around I'm scoring the fold lines lightly with a knife to get far cleaner folds and I'm also using super glue since the tabs on this model are smaller than usual. Anyways here's a small progress pic, I have only built a little of the top of the helmet so far.

Much to be done but I'm gonna take my time so it'll turn out good, hopefully.

Another small update, been slowly putting the thing together, been taking my time and it's going pretty well. I'm liking the way this model is turning out and if I keep it up I should be good
