Im a girl and this is my first time working with pepakura . Im planning to do a cosplay of caboose from red vs blue. I dont know much about building stuff and my dad refuses to help me when it comes to cosplaying so im doing this by myself. I already know how to do the pepakura and I have already made the helmet . Though, for the next step Im a bit confused about... I reasearched alote with people doing videos with this so called material "fiberglass and resin". To be honest I dont really know much about what it is and if its toxic. So im wanting to know what material I should use after making the papekura. Like if i did use it with resin would i have to put extra things inside the helmet. I dont know i heard that this stuff can kill brain cells. Morely wherever i look up i dont get that much info and i dont want to do something dangerous. Im sorry if this sounds stupid i dont know much about this stuff. I want to go with the resin option yet, another thing is, If i had to paint it onto the cardstock helmet would i first cut out the piece where the visor would go first. Or do i do that afterwards painting it.
Also I saw a video of someone adding a modable substance onto their helmet after they added the resin. Do you perhaps know what they used? Is it something I should also do when it comes to the next step of making the helmet.
sorry for the horrible grammer.
