This is my first time using Pepakura and I spent some time reading through most of the tutorials. Thanks for those who have posted a tutorial and those who have helped through out the forums.
I am looking to make a suit without fiberglass because I have never used it before and I just didn't feel like I needed it for the purpose of my armor. So I decided to try reinforcing my helmet with card board. It is actually quite sturdy, but it took way too long and I don't want to do this process for the rest of the armor.
So here is my question... Should I use fiberglass, or the muslin cloth technique on the inside to be safe, or will using resin and bondo on the outside be enough?
I intend to only use this for halloween, so I don't need it to withstand a lot of abuse. I just want to make sure I can still have quality looking armor and minimize any warping.
