I'm so new it's almost painful so please bear with me if my questions come off as dumb.
So my plan was to make a Mark V Air Assault helmet (and later armor, hopefully) because I'm the jetpack guy in every Halo: Reach match. I would do this by testing my ability to scale/fold PePaKuRa models with some Air Assault models on normal letter paper, then putting the helmet together by either the EVA foam method or the cardstock/rondo method and following normal sealing/painting procedures. I managed to get the hang of scaling and folding PePaKuRa thanks to about eighteen cents of paper and six dollars of ink (I used Jico's game rip, so it still had color), and now I'm stuck because I don't know what method I should use to actually put together the thing.
So, which would you guys recommend I do? Should I follow Spacemeat's guide and trace the templates onto building foam? Or should I follow the literal book on costume armor and paint a model with Bondo?
