Hello,
I'm looking for a bit of advice on my next step. I am currently making a Fallout NCR costume. This is my first EVER costume, I'm quite the noob at all this so be nice I have made the armour and finished the helmet pepakura however I'm not sure what my next step is with the helmet. I'm using this pep file: http://www.therpf.com/f24/fallout-new-vegas-desert-helmet-pep-files-103472/
I think I was a bit ambitious with this pepakura as it was my first try however I eventually got it done.
So far I've got my hands on a fibreglass kit which includes the resin and fibreglass mat, I've also got a fibreglass compound putty.
So my question/s are:
In general what are my next steps in regards to the helmet?
Should I join the front and back of the mask before I resin it? (I ask this because if it's joined i doubt I'll get my head into it however in the link I posted above it was joined)
Do I coat the pepakura with a layer of resin before applying the fibreglass mat?
Do I resin inside and out, and fibreglass the inside only?
Thanks for any responses.
