thats a pretty nice helmet, clean pep.
if you need help with fiberglassing or rondoing, or smooth-on there are plenty of stickies exploding with information.
ill follow this thread
 
Good pep. My dad wants me to make him one but he wants it to be small. Did you have to scale it up to make it full size. I was just wondering if I had to scale it down or not

well, walmart carrys it for 8-16 dollars, i dont exactly remember but that is cheap compared to alot of places, and the main brand alot of people use is called Bondo....not to be confused by what people on the forum call bondo what they are reffering to is (Bondo brand) autobody filler/detailer which people use to smooth out their resined peps but this is what stores you should go to and for what:

Harbor freight: disposable brushes for resining, box of 36 for $6 dollars, respirator for $15-20
Walmart: resin, body filler spray paint (its like 3 bucks for a can of krylon and like 1 dollar for a generic spraypaint
Autozone: resin, extra catalyst
Home depot/Lowes: gloves extra catalyst


hope this helps
