Thanks A LOT! I was thinking today that maybe foam might be worth looking into after all and I think you convinced me. Sounds like it's definitely worth trying, so thanks!

Hi, thanks for the reply! I think it's mostly that I don't trust myself to not miss something since I have literally no idea about what I'm doing and no garage or good place to actually work in. I have to either do it in the garden while it's semi-nice (living in the UK doesn't help) or in the...

Ages ago I started building a pepakura Iron Man Mark III helmet, got stuck, started again with another model, started a chest piece, got stuck again. My main concern is and has always been health safety while building these things (as I'm a complete lay when it comes to working with hazardous...

Hi, so I'm currently trying to build an Iron Man Mark III chest piece and so far I've tried avoiding as many health hazards as possible. I use Jesmonite instead of normal resin since it doesn't develop any of the harmful fumes etc. and today I got to the part where I wanted to try and get my...

Yes, thank you, I found all of that, but the point is that I don't really want to use that stuff ;). I have zero experience in working with harmful materials and all of that need for respirators etc. sounds a little too creepy for my liking. I gave the whole thing a lot of thought today and...

Ok, so during the last few weeks I've read up on Pepakura, resins, fiberglass, you name it. I gave up on my initial helmet try since it's so out of shape and instead started off anew with the Mark III files from DancingFool and Dubean33s helmet. I was highly motivated, and after having read some...

Fantastic, thank you! I'm UK based and find a bit hard to find the matching products to US tutorials etc., so thanks a lot for some actual product names :) Looking forward to seeing your's finished, it looks amazing!

Ok wow, this is amazing! It's also literally what I've been trying to do since last September (well not in pink, but close enough) but all I have since then is the paper base helmet. Can I ask what was used exactly to spray and fibreglass the helmet? Since this is where I am stuck... and is the...

Thanks for the advice!! I did use card stock, I think it was 160mg but can't quite remember. I've build the paper version a while back and then wasn't sure about the best way to proceed, so just let it rest. Which wasn't of course a great idea because the back of the helmet is a bit out of...

Hello, I'm basically completely new to the party and therefore have a few questions. I had the fantastic idea of trying to build an Iron Man helmet last year and after some research found files on the internet that allowed me to print (on paper) a lot of tiny pieces that then needed to be cut...
