Update!! So yesterday my aqua resin I ordered finally came in!!!! yay!!! So here is what I did yesterday..... (sorry about the picture size, my camera broke, this was the best I could get.) It isn't as warped as it may seem here, its sitting on a weird angle. The top warped.... :( but...

uh i could be wrong, but its one or the other, you would do both inside. you do use resin and bondo outside but at different stages, you resin the outside before you fiberglass/rondo/papermache the inside to give the paper some strength so it doesn't warp (or as much) when you actually do it...

Hey! so I've been here for a little while but i forgot to actually introduce myself.... oops! Name: Trevor Dotson Profession: Student and Insurance advisor for Extend Health Age: 18 Favorite Hobby: Video Games, Reading, Snowboarding, Scuba diving.... I can't decide! Favorite Halo: Fall of Reach...

true it is, but i figured its the most bang for your buck, since you would probably want to resin the pep before you did anything to it, and you would probably have bondo to detail it. so paper mache probably is the cheapest, i have no idea, i'm just fiberglassing and haven't looked into any...

so while i'm waiting for the aqua resin to come in, i'm going to start peping the reach chest. what is the average measurement for a 6 foot tall person? because i'm getting H480/W522/D490 and that too me seems big. i could be wrong because i haven't actually printed it out yet, but i figured i'd...

There is Rondo, don't know how well it does or anything, i just know people use that and that its cheaper. and from what i've seen a lot of people bondo the outside for detail, probably because they already have it because of the rondo.

oh hai! new myself but this place is amazing! you'll love it!

thanks! and i think i'm going to order it online. i heard you can call in if there is no distributor near you. so i'll call in and order that and the firberglass at the same time.

thanks! sure here i got it from this thread here. and i think i'll order some aqua resin then tonight... hopefully have it soon

thanks! also, from what i've been reading fiberglass resin is toxic, which i figured. but what i was wondering was does it stay toxic after it dries? and i know people have said that aqua resin is what i should use. is that true? or can i use just the stuff i could get at like home depot or...

Hey so i just remembered i never officially introdued myself so hello! i found out about this fro Lee's sniper on bungie.net and was amazed. i needed to make something for myself. so i decided i was going to the reach helmet without top by rundown. so here it is put together . without top...

OH HAI! i don't know what to put..... i like to make things, want to start on just the basic mark V helmet, but don't have the time right now...... so.... i'm done i guess

I am in awe. I also joined the 405th because of this. i saw it on the bunjie com chatter and think that it is amazing. i am very intrested in the mold. my email is dotson.trevor@gmail.com. and about how much would did you need for a build like this? because that sure looks like it would take a...
