Yeah definitely, it just depends on your preference and what works for you.

Hey I hear i should make a post saying hi to everyone before i post other stuff :) My original post didn't work out so well lol. I want to show you guys what i got so far. I've been wanting to make a full set of armor forever now and im finally getting to it. I hope to be done within a year...

Thanks for the tip, I was thinking about using rondo but now i think ill stick to fiber glass. Great job at explaining the process too!

So the general process to my knowledge is this: assemble all of the pepakura pieces, harden the shell with resin, add strips of fiber glass (use resin to glue it on) to the inside of the mask to make it even stronger, then carefully bondo the exterior of the mask for more strength to the...

There were a lot of intricate small pieces for the locus mask that im working on. It just takes patience. If you are daring, I would give super glue a shot. If you do one tab at a time, the super glue holds the pieces in place very well, which makes putting the other tabs in place easy. Super...

I used super glue. It actually worked out pretty good. You just have to be careful. Any mistakes, then you would have to pry the piece off and redo it

Is your problem that there are too many small pieces? or that cutting them out and placing them on is too difficult/ time consuming? I just finished my recon mask so hopefully I can help.

Glad i could help!

Re: So I saved weeks on my helmet using my CNC laser cutter. Could cut out parts for Thank for the advice and being friendly about it. In my original post, I had a link to photo bucket with my finished product. I'll continue reading up on the sticky threads. Much appreciated :)

Re: So I saved weeks on my helmet using my CNC laser cutter. Could cut out parts for i never said "trust me im an art student". i just said i was an art student so i hope my projects look nice. It seems like you are looking to be offended by something :/

Re: So I saved weeks on my helmet using my CNC laser cutter. Could cut out parts for hey blaze, ill take down this post if i can. It seemed to have bothered some folks. The marketplace thread probably would be a better spot to post this. I'll probably just stick to reddit and etsy for this this...

I would go with this! When i finish my chest pieces i will use straps with the three prong clip ( the ones you see on backpacks)

Re: So I saved weeks on my helmet using my CNC laser cutter. Could cut out parts for Hey, I'm sorry if i came off as that. I just created this account so i'm still new to the rules and getting used to things. I'll read them so that I can avoid upsetting anyone else. Thanks for letting me know...

depends. If you just want a helmet prop to keep on your desk, fiber glass and resin would do the trick. If you want actual armor that you will wear and go outside with, i'd also bondo it. Check this guy out, his videos go over everything. He is a legend:

you should look up "rare earth magnets" on Amazon. They are small and powerful magnets with a degree of strength. some can break your hand if you put two on both sides ( i dont think you want them that strong :] ) and some are just powerful enough to fold a gun prop to your thigh without it...
