Progress pic since everyone has been so helpful. I have little add ons for the helmet done, i'm just working on wiring them with lights before i attach them and i also have to mount the other "ear" object on a swivel so it can spin. The little speaker is a light sensor im going to put in the...

I don't appreciate your snide attitude i wasn't being rude you should re-read what i wrote, furthermore I do have designer 3. If you're not good with repetitive noobie questions, that's understandable but then you probably shouldnt go into the noobie section. Thanks Chernobyl got it all...

I did do searching, but when you're new it's difficult to know the exact phrase to search for. Also my pepakura designer is missing the "invert pattern" option, it's now under other so that link really wasn't appropriate.

Hi I have a pepakura file for the right shoulder, is there an option somewhere that allows me to flip everything and make it the left? The shoulders are not symmetrical so i can't make it and put it on my other arm without flipping it somehow first.

I'm putting down the first coat of bondo to fill in the low spots, however because of things like the knobs on the front of the mask it makes getting in there kinda tricky so using a power tool + smooth grit is out of the question. Since I have to do this by hand in a confined space ill...

So i have my helmet pep'd and resin'd inside and out, now i need to bondo the outside. I've read some people like to spray paint it first to better see the high spots and low spots since it will be one solid color. Obviously the best choices would be a light color (white) with a gloss finish in...

I was at the store the other day and saw fiberfix and thought hmmm i wonder if you could use this on the inside of armor? Sure it's a bit more expensive but for the simplicity of it i'd definitely consider it. If you're not familiar it's (my understanding) carbon fiber that hardens when an...

I already have the initial inner and outer resin coating applied and dried. For the fiberglass I was told resin, fiberglass, then resin. However I saw an interesting tutorial that said instead of doing that you could use spray adhesive, then fiberglass, then resin. Has anyone tried this? The...

ah ok i didnt know you used fiberglass AND rondo i assumed it was one or the other thank you

Dumb question, does this include paint primer? Also if I rondo the inside should do fiberglass on the inside? Or just resin the inside, let it set, then rondo? And if I were to do fiberglass it goes resin, dry, resin + fiberglass dry correct? I don't use fiberglass in the first inside coat do i?

Awesome, thank you for the help!

Ok so i'm just about done with my first pepakura and i wanted to make sure i was going to be doing the next step right after putting so much time into it. I know the difference between resin, bondo, and rondo as well as poly vs epoxy but there are a few things i've seen differing instructions...

Hi I'm working on a fallout 4 power armor helmet but I want the circles on the sides to rotate however they need to have some tension on it to support the night vision . Something like a washing machine or maybe a shower knob , does anyone have any recommendations ? Thank you
