Hey all,
Well, just finished cutting out the sheets for my second attemt at the Master Cheif's helmet. The glue I used last time expanded and really mucked things up. This time, I found a way to use a high temperature hot glue gun effectivley giving me lots of time to put the peice on.
After I finish assembling the Pepakura, I'm going to coat it with some left over Paper Mod Podge. I've used this stuff before, and it can really layer quite nicely. I'll see if this can work out at least half as good as Bondo and Fiberglass. Once, or if, this all dries up, I'm going to paint the whole thing with a sandy-brown textured spraypaint.
Any thoughts? I'll update this (Don't worry Adam, I'll use the Edit button ;-) )as I make more progress with my first creation, second time around.

Update: This layering may take a while :eek.
Update #2: Ok... so I have the Mod Podge on my helmet. It's doing a great job as a sealent, pored water on it by mistake, just not as sturdy as I was aiming for. Since it's all waterproof now, it may help open up a few new possibilities. One of my ideas is this type of plaster I have lying around. I'm going to make a Card Stock cube, Mod Podge it, and then put some plaster on it. I'll see how it looks after. I can even post pics if your interested.
Update #3: One last chance for Fibreglass... NAPA.
