Just glue?

May be a stupid question as I'm a total "noob" but I have the Iron Man helmet built using the Sharkman VI helmet. It is currently in five pieces, back, face plate, chin and two ear pieces. I know the helmet needs to be in one piece for resin so how do I go about this? Should I just glue the pieces together and just dremel it all off later? Thanks a lot for the help
 
If it is a paper version, then I would just "spot glue" for effect. Just on the joints and one in the mid to hold it together. Your resin is going to move on to other parts all by itself when you aren't watching. Heck, sometimes it gets across the room and resins the curtains when I'm not paying attention.
 
It is the paper version probably should have stated that earlier ha and thanks for the quick response. Also, the chin really isn't lining up to my satisfaction. I mean it is probably good enough I'm just a perfectionist and being my first build I want it to be good enough to show off. Really the only thing wrong with it in my opinion is it's not exactly center when it comes to the teeth and actual chin piece. Will/Can this be corrected in the later stages?

It can, with bondo. Lots of bondo. But, if you can get it lined up better before... Less work later. Less work is ALWAYS better
