Hello. This is my second try to make something out of pepakura. My first project ended unfinished, but what the heck I wanted to try it once again. So I´ve decide to make a Boba Fett- like helmet and then maybe the whole armour. I know I´ve made some mistakes, I cut some places where I was not supposed and so on.;D But my question is, what about a visor? When I was checking all your projects and threads all of you work with the visor on. I mean you make the paper part, you resin it, fiberglass it, bondo it, and then cut it off in the end phase. However, living in the apartment building I have very limited access to DIY stuffs, so I don´t think cutting it off at last is an option for me. So what would you recommend?
Unfortunately I have used kind of thin paper, so now without the visor, the whole thing is deforming and I needed to secure it with paper clips. So basically my question is, how to continue? Finish the helmet without a visor and just temporarily strengthen the weak part with pieces of cardboard or something, and then resin it to prevent any other bending? Or any other ideas?
