"Help!" for: Papercraft or Pepakura

Ok cool and that would be the same principal for other pieces like chest, legs, shins, shoulders and forearms?

Yes, but with non-helmets you have to be more careful with the rondo since it's viscous (the helmet acts like a bucket so it's harder to get it to spill).

The other benefit to a rondo layer followed by fiberglass is you have the strength of fiberglass, but can sand the outside down into the rondo layer when you cut detail lines.

Ok thank you, another question if I have foam template unfolds can I turn them back into pep files by adding flaps and edge Id or is it a bit harder than that?

You will essentially have to either rearrange everything, or re-unfold the piece. Either way, it might just be simpler to save a copy of a pep unfold before you modify it for use with foam.
