Looking good so far braytak. I would say that this simplest fix would be bondo. It would take some time to layer it up, but it will work. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing the finished helmet.

How hard is Bondo to sand by hand? Similar to joint compound?
Thanks, do you have a thread?

The smell of bondo would generally fade after about a day. The biggest problem is the fumes are toxic so if you inhale them you can do some damage. But the residual smell should go inside a window of a 7 or 8 hours.
Great work!! Helm turned out fantastic. A quick note on the chest peace, the chest is designed to be cut apart after hardening. It's suppose to fit around your neck and not slide over your head so if you measured from shoulder to shoulder you have the right measurement. Once it's built and hardened you have to separate the chest from the backpack in order to wear it.
O man I didn't think about that I am so dumb I hope it's not to big now , also I am guessing the chest comes with support pieces do I have to add them? I am going to post pics of what I got with the chest so far , I am to far along to stop now if it's to big I will see if someone one here needs a chest in the classified section
Yea I am getting better I did all that in about 3 and half hours I just have to finish the back and the little detail pieces
Hey thanks, yea I am trying to go slow sneaking in a few min here and there at work, I seen your helmet it looks awesome I notice you Bondo the whole think I was thinking of doing the same
some bondo action.. it bit of a rough start with alot of sanding ahead of me , but i never really use bondo before, this stuff start drying on me quick so rather the waste it i kinda rushed it alittle bit but i am not worried, only thing i am worried about is if my chest is to big

Your helmet and chest are coming along nicely braytak. Use a little less hardener next time, it'll slow the hardening process for ya. I am currently applying body filler to an Iron Man helmet I made for my little nephew. I have found that bondoing in sections works best for me. It can overwhelm you if quick if you aren't careful. Just take your time, I'm sure it'll turn out great!
