Very impressive work! The only thing that worries me with the Pepakura>fiberglass>bondo method is the sheer weight of the armour afterwards.

The helmet turned out beautiful. Perfect finish on it. What was wrong with the one you made? I thought it looked great too!

thanks jayjayn,ironman99
the paint ive used is like you find on hotrods/bikes
its a 3 stage candy pearl can be tricky to apply.
1 the bright silver basecoat (straight forward to apply)
2 red candy pearl over the silver,(the tricky one)because this is translucent you apply 3/4/5 coats but the overlap as you,re spaying has to be bang on!!!!! otherwise the red will look patchy dark n light stripes,when the sun hits it.
3 the lacquer

the accent line are cleaned with a needle file,n rubbed over with black stove polish
