Starting my first Mando today

Well theres a problem :(

I ran out of Bondo Glass :'( I think i may have used to much because i have the front of the bucket to bondo yet

I really dont feel like buying another and Im so frustrated right now im even considering buying a premade helmet
 
heres a few pictures of what it currently look like

I no see pictures... And dont get frusterated! Stay patient; these take time and lots of bondoglass. But you will like it WAY more than if you buy a premade.
 
The final product; you will be able to hold it and have the satisfaction of know that you made it. It is really worth all the effort and time in the end. So dont be discouraged; keep working at it! (y):cheers
 
Nice is a relative term... both of mine are no where near as nice as SAZ's bucket that i have, nor as nice as A'den's buckets, but that is the fact that EVERYONE is their own worst critic, and I hate critics so I guess I hate myself... That being said, from what I see of your work, it LOOKS 100% better than how mine looked at the same stage.

Get more bondo glass, and go with it, trust us, you will be more than happy with being able to look at it and hold it and put it on and say "I MADE THIS!!"

I dont think mine are perfect, but I MADE THEM!! and I really am happy to see people telling me that they like my work, I REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WANT TO DRAW ME, it's an awesome feeling.

DONT GIVE UP!! Or I'll have ta whip ya' :)
 
i think im going to trim it a bit to give me more visibility though. Cause right now all i can see is straight! Dont want people sneaking up on me now do I :lol:
 
you can see that I cut my visor MUCH wider, even after I had the bondo layered, so you can finish layering then take a sharpie and sketch on the visor you want, then cut away vod.
