hey guys i have a question i have yet to be able to answer.
im trying to make a full boba fett outfit, been having a heck of a time with the helmet im trying to use this for my helm (by far the best one i have found)
however i cant find the 2mm paper it calls for however i had the idea of using 2mm foam. first does anyone think that would work?? Rafal fett thinks it might but has never tried it, also this wouldnt be the final model. this would just be a casting buck so that i can cast it out of plastic resin. so i need to know the easiest way to harden the surface for sanding. ive worked with fiberglass resin before but i do not know much about working with foam. (is it castable without hardening just bondo any spots?) also would the fiberglass resin dull the details to much ( would i need a diffrent method) basically i need to be able to give the surface that nice smooth feel please help lol
