For the Basic Pep:
2 Different Color Ball Point Pen -- (helps "score folds to get crisp fold lines, )
110 lb Card Stock for Pep -- (what you need to print on)
Low Temp Hot Glue Gun -- (how you are going to glue the pieces together)
Low Temp Hot Glue Sticks -- (how you are going to glue the pieces together)
Metal Ruler -- (helps for marking and folding)
Scissors -- (cutting pep out)
To Detail Your Pep:
Respirator -- (necessary safety precaution if resin/fiberglass is used)
Vinyl Gloves -- (necessary safety precaution if resin/fiberglass is used)
Brushes -- (for resin/fiberglass application)
Resin -- (optional, but neccesary if you plan to wear your armor, adds strength)
Fiberglass -- (optional, but neccesary if you plan to wear armor, adds strength)
Bondo Body Filler -- (optional to smooth appearance of angular pep after resin is applied)
Evercoat Metal Glaze -- (optional, can be approximated by mixing body filler and resin, after body filler is applied)
Sanding Block -- (used to sand body filler and glaze)
80 Grit Sand paper -- (used to sand body filler and glaze)
180 Grit Sand paper -- (used to sand body filler and glaze)
Primer -- (to insure good paint adhesion)
Main Color Paint -- (to, well, paint your armor)
Silver paint -- (optional battle Damage)
Flat Black Paint -- (optional black accents)
Tape -- (optional, used during painting)
Helmet accessory stuff:
4 LEDs -- (optional helmet accessory)
4 LED Holders/Lenses -- (optional helmet accessory)
Wire -- (optional helmet accessory)
Soldering Iron -- (optional helmet accessory, needed to connect LEDs circuit)
Solder -- (optional helmet accessory, needed to connect LEDs circuit)
Battery Holder -- (optional helmet accessory, needed to connect LEDs circuit)
Batteries -- (optional helmet accessory, needed to connect LEDs circuit)

2 Gold Motor Cycle Visors -- (optional helmet accessory, used to approximate the surface appearance of the visor)
Visor Adhesive -- (optional helmet accessory, optional some people have used hot glue)
Wire Loom -- (optional helmet accessory for helmet vents)
All in all, if you don't own anything listed here, you can price it, or take a ball park figure from me. To Have a fully detailed set is going to run upwards of $300 if you own nothing... of course thats not including the month of building/assembly, and thats not including boots or and undersuit.
Don't be scared.... get to building new guy.
