Hi everyone, this is my first post on these forums.
First off, a confession. I'm not a Halo fan. I plan to make Star Wars armor.
Anyway, after reading this and several other forums and watching a few videos, I think I get the general process of making armor from pepakura and its something I'd like to try. My question is this: Does the pepakura method (using the resin and bondo/rondo to build up the original paper fold model) make wearable armor? I mean, I know it makes armor that I can put on, but is it practical to actually walk around in, or is it to fragile/brittle and only good for display?
Many apologies if this is covered somewhere else, I looked but didn't find it anywhere.
