I haven't been here for very long but I can say with some certaintly a few things that are probably shared by a few people here.
1. Don't spam new threads. You created three new threads in a row asking the same questions about slightly different projects. Combine them into one thread.
2. If we can't see the picture, we can't give advice. So I would invest in a slightly better camera.
3. Basically you did step one of a pep build and then asked for advice. My advice is to pep and build one helmet from >Resin>Fiber>Bondo>Sand>Paint, and then see where you are and seek advice. Asking for advice about pep is like buying a lego set and taking a picture of the instructions and pieces and asking what next.
Costuming is a very fun art form, so keep plugging away at it.
-edit: An easy way to get non blurry pics is to do tripod your camera. Even using a small stack of books and setting your phone/camera on it helps alot.
-Also, if you are doing alot of peping, If you arn't already, head over to the 405th(assumign it is online again) and read everything you can about what they do there. They are the pros at pepping.

I want to apologize, I just re-read my thread and realized I have only posted half of what was supposed to be up there. When I get a chance I will fix my mistake.

BTW, does anyone know how to attach the top plate to the hand, I had trouble with my previous on I made.
I'm using magnets for that.
