Arkham Origins Deathstroke W.I.P

[GavinSchulz2000]

I've been looking around on this sight for about 5 months now and this is my first time making a costume or prop of any kind. I've researched everything I could about my costume and I started making my helmet 2 months ago and I think it's coming out pretty good. I'm making it for Cincinnati Comic Expo and Wizard World Ohio. I hope you like my thread! I have started my second coat as of now and I'm going to be doing it in sections.

Hey guys I need some help there's this crack in the middle of my helmet and I've Tried using bondo but it just cracks again. Everytime I push the helmet in it opens but if I expand it the crack closes. Any ideas please tell me

Back the crack on the inside of the helmet rather than just the outside. Once cardboard bends, its weakened. Once the inside is dry, patch the outside again and it should be ok. Just make sure you use enough of the inside or even better would be a layer of polyester resin but you have to be careful with that stuff.

I actually made it out of brown cardstock is it any different then how you would fix it ?

[TigerStoneFX]

Same applies, yeah.

I'm using the same pepakura mask as a template for a foam mask, do you have any more pictures or maybe even a video of the folds and stuff? I can't seem to figure out how this thing goes together :/

 

[GavinSchulz2000]

Do you have the pep file on your computer?

Thank you so much for helping me what I did was I cut a paint mixer stick to the size of the helmet when you stretch it open. Then I started fiberglassing some more and I let that cure overnight. I took the stick out And the fiberglass dried that way and it is sturdier I then bondoed the crack and sanded it now it's gone
