This is my first attempt at building armor. My whole plan is to obviously glue it all together, Fiberglass it, then strengthen it with smoothcast, (i just cant figure out resin) and then move onto the Bondo stage, sand and detail as much as possible and then I am kind of lost on the whole priming and painting stage. I will need help with that later. But if you have any advise now I will take it.
Do you guys use something different??
I went to the Motorcycle store looking for a visor. I wasn't sure I needed to warp my helmet to fit a visor properly so I thought I would go grab one now. I didn't realize that visors are sort of expensive. My jaw hit the floor when he told me the one I wanted was $60 bucks. When I pulled out my helmet (though its far from completed.) Three guys about nerded all over the floor. They never even knew about pepakura, so i sat down with them and told them all about it. I was there a good hour. After all was said and done, they all agreed that what I was doing was way to cool to charge for it. They gave me two colored visors and helmet lining all for free. I lucked out. Ill keep you updated on everything!
