Im working on making a set of armor to imitate the color scheme and armor pattern of my multiplayer character in reach, I have never done anything like this before so if you experienced guys on the site have any advice you would like to give me, I would really appreciate it.
I already have my recon helmet done and have used a polyethylene paste as an exterior hardener and to build up a slight layer so I can sand it down to a smooth surface and not have so many sharp lines from the Pepakura printout.
I have not fiberglassed/resined yet as I dont know how to do that, but after I fiberglass I plan on Using an expanding foam to fill up the inside and then I will carve out a nook the size of my head, is that a good idea? Also, what do I use for a visor, A coca-cola bottle or something, and how do I paint it?
I have also printed out a Recon shoulder and an ODST shoulder, one question with these, do I need A bicep Piece to attach these to?
Sorry for all the newb questions, I just want to make sure I do this right the first time so I don't have to do the same build all over again.
