Where did u get your pepakura for the helmet

This is available in the junkyard from a member named BlackKaos. He actually has 3 or 4 versions of the red hood helmet... this one i believe is the V1. His work is top notch so just find the one you want to build and send him a PM. I'm sorry I can't provide a link atm, but I'm writing from my phone. If you have any issues finding it just let me know and ill post you a link later .

What resin did you use? And where did you get it?

I always use the Bondo brand fiberglass resin... It's not bad for the price and easy to find in any Walmart Auto department for around $12.00. I usually use 3 or 4 coats on the exterior and 2 more on the inside... I do so many on the exterior to start the sanding process before i start with the body filler. Just please always make sure to do anything like this in a very ventilated area always wear a good respirator... These can be found at Home Depot or most building supply stores.

Great Red Hood! Do you have any pics of the complete helmet after you painted the lines?

I was wondering about the black lines on the helmet. When bondo-ing and sanding, how do you avoid filling in those lines?

i cant speak to how he did it, but on my ironman build, i just filled them in, didnt worry about it, and marked them with a marker, then came back with a dremel and carved them back out, by hand, carefully.
