So I have been working on my Thomas Bangalter helmet. Everywhere I see is Halo and Halo and more of Halo . So I didn't really know where to post this thread. If anyone can advise me on that, I'll definitely shift my thread to a more related forum.

And if you're too lazy to go to see the whole process here's the final pep version of the helmet:
and it looks like those on my head:
It's a WIP but the skeleton is almost done. Need to work on the ear pieces, but that won't take much time.
Now here's where I'll pick your heads like a true noob.
I don't know where to go next. Here are my common problems:
1) How and what to resin and fibreglass.
2) Next step is bondo-ing it I presume. I have heard someone tell me that it wouldn't bond with resin and I'm like wtf now.
3) THE VISOR!!! I feel like smashing my head in the wall when I think about it. I put the cardstock visor in and glued it to the helmet so that the helmet has it's true shape when the helmet gets hardened. Then I'll probably cut it out (since I wouldn't have hardened the visor). But how do I install a visor in this helmet? I was thinking of adding some lights in like this:
That is, in the visor and on the ear pieces. I feel too stupid to have a fully functional LED display in the visor like this:
Or I might just chicken out and have one like this:
Suggestions and help pleeeaassee!
