I sure wasn't looking forward to this being my next armor update. As some of you may know, I made an MKVI helmet using DF4L's smooth helmet file. Well, I had it done(check sig) but I decided to take the advice of some of the other people here and resand parts of it and fill it a bit more details. Well, I was in between primer coats for roughness checks, and while I was getting a 9 volt out of the LED hook up, I put it on the ground and then without noticing a few minutes later, my dang size 15 hoof cracked most of the right side. See in pics :
I'm going to try to repair it, but how to do it i'm a bit confused about. My plan for repair goes like this :
1) Epoxy the cracked parts to put them back into place. (Pic 1)
2) Brace the back parts that caved in (Pic 2)
3) Re-fiberglass that area of the helmet and anything else that needs more strength
4) Finish up with some bondo, spot putty, sanding, etc.
5) Paint and hopefully be like new!
Does anyone see any problems with that plan? If so, please say so, that way I can know what to change. I'm not usre how often i'm going to have updates on this because school's starting up next week, but I hope I can have at least somewhat regular ones.
