I recently started working on the Batman armor from Dawn of Justice, I am working with only paper, cardboard, a few pencils, scissors/exacto blade, and hot glue (for now)
so far I have the cardboard portion of the helmet complete, however I am putting the project to a halt because my main priority is to sell this to someone, in which case I'd like to know what the person is looking for due to the fact that I have a few options on how to proceed with the armor.
Option 1: Coat the helmet with carbon fiber (this option would be utterly expensive and require precision, which means that I'd only go with this for the right price)
Option 2: Coat helmet and entire armor with paper mache, specifically flour mixed with water because according to what I've read the end result comes as hard as the material used for most houses.
Option three, produce various armors and masks and sell them without coating so that the buyer may be able to customize and coat in his own way, because I really like the idea of providing an experience to people rather than just giving them an entire costume, I think there's much more meaning to being able to do things your own way and I'd honestly love to help people reach such accomplishments.
I made this post to ask for advice, a bit of guidance, and who knows, maybe one of you guys really likes my work and you'll be my first customer, anything's possible really and I'm here to find and welcome all possibilities

Here's a link to the video with the links to the armor files I traced by MasterMod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe_qydWAQNw

The pepakura file I used for the helmet was made by user E60flip345
p.s. this isn't the account I'm going to use permanently, the RPF doesn't let me finish activating my account because I share this computer with someone else and quite frankly I spent to much time on this to go to bed with no sense of accomplishment over something so trivial.
