Ok.....my multiple mishaps on the same piece:

this is the comparison between my 2nd and 3rd attempt on my helmet...I never took one of the 1st.

The 6th was a disaster. After peping it I resined it and it never dried......almost a week later it was still sticky and the paper had dented and warped horrifically.

This was #7.....sized too small......"just shoot me at this point" was the mantra.......

Comparison between #7 and #8.......which eventually became

It's about 5-10% larger than it could have been but It's perfect as it make me appear much bigger that I actually am.
