Alternative to Resin and FiberGlass

I think the point was to keep it non toxic.

Yes, the point was to keep the project not only cheap, but non-toxic for people who don't want to mess with hazardous chemicals. Alternatively, this project is much more appealing for strict parents of members who are still living at home.

Also, I've been using papier mache. Have you guys have had any problems with lumpy surfaces? My original thought was to just reinforce the inside to save details and whatnot, and for me, it caused more warpage than covering the outside.

aye thats the one! now that i look at it, it doesnt seem quite...economical, but looking through the posts, i came up with an interesting idea. On the topic of non-toxic, would coating the armor in aqua resin, curing, coating in papier mache, aqua resin, curing (maybe another coat of papier mache and aqua resin), does that seem like it may work?

cheers, playdohlord

but fiberglass is harder

Is it possible to add a few layers of paper mache on both the inside and outside of a pep piece, let dry then add a few layers of paper mache pulp (with as much liquid squeezed out as possible) to the inside to harden it for bondo? Obviously taking the proper steps that I'm not going to re-post here.
