You do NOT NEED to fiberglass your armour as sintra is more than strong enough on its own.

Yeah, I didn't mean he HAD to fiberglass, I thought he was wanting it to look a little thicker and heavier. Sintra is definately strong enough on its own.

I made a decent one out of an 80's ski jacket that had the long neck on it. I cut the arms off except for the little part at covers the shoulders.

That's the two piece Jango helmet, isn't it? Before you start painting you may want to bondo and sand the gaps along with sanding the rest of the helmet so the paint will stick. I forget what type of material that helmet is but if it's vinyl then you do not want to use any paint which has "Acetones" or "Acetates". I heard on vinyl acetones just jack it up and melt it.

I think it's a PVC plastic helmet though, right?

I like the color scheme for the helmet too. Can you get a sharper image?

It looks like your Mando has been to hell and back! Looks good so far, can't wait to see what it looks like when you're wearing it.
