3D modeling Questions

[Pestilence]

I'm new to this armor building and Pep in general. I'm working on creating a Cygnar Stormblade from Privateer Press. I'm not able to find any Pep Files for this so I'm starting from scratch. I'm modeling it in Blender and was wondering how detailed I should make the armor Vs. detailing it in the Bondo? Again total noob never worked with the stuff.

Looking at the Warhammer 40K suits there isn't much detail in the armor but the Halo suits they look like pulled from the game files.

I'm open to questions, comments. Here is the figure I'm modeling it after.

Well its more handy when the detail is already there. But you will have to still bondo everything to get everything look as smooth and shiny as you want.

Thanks. I'll be able to add the ridges to the model but I'll probably Drill the holes out and use real Nuts for the rivets.
