Alot of the armor and helmets I have made are out of cardboard. Yea alot of people just put the pepakura together, resin it to make it strong enough for fiber glassing? well i have a trick that i do.i glue all my pepakura templates to cardboard cut them out with a craft knife. after that I cut all the fold ENOUGH to bend and fold. once I'm done with that i tape it all together. Now here comes the trick! You take resin and you paint it in the helmet,BUT do not mix it too hot or it will dry to fast. paint it in the inside till the card board soakes it in. Whan it is all dry you now have a perfect shell that wont crack or break unless you slam it on the ground. but for extra precaution. resin the outside also. after that you may sand and paint.
