Some advice, get yourself a mouse sander and a pack of sand papers at Walmart. Costs around 30-40 bucks (USD) and will save you a LOT of work on the sanding.
Also, how old are you??? I'm thirteen, and this is PRETTY dang good.
You gotta keep workin on your clone helmet. I have so far made 2 mando buckets, and I haven't even dreamed of attempting something as daunting as a clone bucket, and seeing your work progress, I think I can do it. I'll be pm'ing skip soon
Thks for more advice lads really helps. I will eventually purchase a mouse sander,
by the way,
why does everyone asks about my age, it does cause suspecion.:confused
No, there are a LOT of younglings here, but I am one of the many 30 somethings here.
I think they ask, because you seem to be so down on your self when you dont need to be.
I asked as I detected a hint of youth there. LOL! Also because the younger you are then generally the more limited you are for use of products/chemicals too. My daddy would never have let me use resin or body filler at the age of 16. Good thing I'm 30 now and can do whatever I want!!!!!!!
Yeah, that'll do it mate. Though because of the ammount of dust you'll kick up keep it clean as you can and wear dust masks as filler dust is nasty stuff to breath in.
Also, buy cheap sanders mate as the fine dust when you sand ruins sanders after time so you'll always need to replace it eventually. Unless you have a pressure air hose for blowing the dust out?
Answer to fractal's question, I'm sixteen.Thks for more advice lads really helps. I will eventually purchase a mouse sander,

Just wondering, the way you were a little unsure of what you made is EXACTLY how I felt when I failed* on my cardboard Bucket.
*Note, read: thought I failed.
I get weird looks when I go to home depot and buy 6 cans of spraypaint, a gallon of fiberglass resin, cans of bondo extra hardener, miscellaneous electrical parts (spark plug kind of things) and a length of wire.
Aha, I'm 15, looking to start on a project (need to decide which one to dedicate myself too first!). Just thought I'd give you a big for this, it's hard to do things like this at our ages (especially when most people our ages apparently have slightly more... exciting uses for the materials used... so I guess they're frying their brains as we actually use ours).
I thought i was among 20+ people, nice to have mates my age.Hi to you guys.Thaks alot for the posts.Would really like it if you lot continue to reply.I've struck some gold at car-boot sale having found two big cans of bondo for £3. Brilliant. Still hand-sanding till i find tim to get sander.I have a slight problem.I'll show you guys with pics.
Heres the back-view of the helmet.Notice the back section of the helmet, the button bit is facing a sideway position.Needs re-constructing.Looks real ugly at the moment.Hope i will change when im done.
