Ok, I am fresh off my first half decent helmet (operator) and then I stumbled across the foam method. I have thus far built only the odst chest for myself, and a Recon chest from H3 for my little brother. Here I am, ready to continue the suit, when I realized that I am feeling pretty crappy about the foam method, because I feel like it looks horrid. However, I do not have the money to fiberglass and bondo anything. This is especially true of the helmet. Should I try and foam build all the little details (im doing recon by the way) or pep it? And If I do pep it, can I harden the inside with great stuff and then cut/sand that down later?
Sorry for the long paragraph. Basic breakdown-
-What thickness of foam?
-Is a helmet worth attempting with foam?
-Can great stuff be used as a cheap resin alternative?
Thanks in advance.
By the way, here is the chest for my ODST build:
