Hey guys I need help making a list of materials needed for making a helmet.

Does anyone know the items needed for that. I know I need bondo, this program called pepeakera, and fiberglass resin, but what I'm missing if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you.
 
Ok, off the top of my head, from working on a Dredd Helm:

- Software: Pepakura (free version is enough, need paid version if you are resizing the model I think)

- Thick printer paper for printing the Pep file onto. (I use 200gsm paper)
- Sharp cutting scalpel
- Metal ruler for cutting
- Cutting board

- Glue or hotglue gun
- Loads of cheap paintbrushes, each time you use the Resin you need to throw away the brush
- Plastic cups or pint glasses, for mixing resin in.

- Resin
- Fiberglass cloth
- Bondo

- Rasp type sanding tool

- Loads of sandpaper
- Optional: A sanding tool, such as a Mouse Sander

- Something to fill in the small imperfections after the Bondo... Milliput or something like that

- Primer
- Paint


There is probably a lot more that you will find you need during your project. I am constantly buying stuff as I go.
Good luck with your build.

Oh, and the youtube vids mentioned above are really really worth a watch if you are just getting into pep building.
