Whoever did the bondo/body filler in that picture did an exponentially better job than I in applying thin, accurate coats lol. Course my helmet needs quit a bit of body work to get proportinate so it would have had thick spots anyway but I'm having to sand like a mad man between applications lol.
Speaking of bondo filler I'm having a little trouble. I've done about 2 solid coats of bondo and I keep getting these "powder patches" in the bondo after it's dried. They're like little holes or divets small as or smaller than a dime that are full of dry power. It's making it almost impossible to sand smooth because they keep popping up in different places as I sand and I end up sanding down to the fiber glass resin. Is that a common/known thing and if so what's causing this? Not enough hardener? Too much?
Hi, iam new here. My name is Martin and i from Argentina. Sorry my english is not very good, soo i gonna do my best!
Iam making my first helmet, from the darkside pep files! (Thank you very much!!). I printed all the papers, and then glued to a cardboard. I build all the helmet, and then added the Resin and the fiberglass. But i have a little problem, becuase the files are made for paper, soo when i try to build in carboard some pieces didnt fit well.
Soo i just wanna know, how you pass from this step

Hey guys. I just came across a new spray can from Rustoleum about a never-wet coating that (maybe) can be sprayed on the suits to assist in resisting liquids and soluble solids like mustard, ketchup and what not. I'm not a chem expert, but I just thought it would be interesting to have the coat on.

As to the never-wet, its very new and there have been reviews that say to turns things a blue-ish color. I'd wait til the kinks are worked out or there are more reviews on it to prove that it won't mess up all that hard work.

I think that the suits are already resistant to liquids... why wouldn't they be? they are made of resin, fiberglass, filler and automotive paint...
Maybe the filler can have some problems, but as it's coated in many layers of primer, paint and enamel it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files - New Image pg 124!
Same scale as the cod piece: 27.5. And I'm afraid the lowest parts won't fit. But I'm planning to lose 33 pounds...
My "normal" scale is 24.5 (I guess 25 would be good too).

A small tip for people who are in the painting stage of the project. If you are using magnets for keeping parts together, place the AFTER you paint.
I just painted the backpiece of my helmet and there were the magnets are, bright cirkels appearred. The magnets pulls and pushes the metallic powder to those places. As a result that were the strenght of the magnets is highest, the most silver will appear.!
Good look. My paint color was except from the smal bright cirkels really hot! Ill post pictures later.

Here's my finished helmet from the files Mike made. It's my first complete build and I can see much room for improvement, but I'm very happy with the way it came out. Hope I did your files justice, Mike
