Ceric Neesh:
Right now I'm just going to offer the undented crown and let folks put in their own dent for a "Boba" bucket. From the feedback I've gotten, most folks who would want one of these are going to do custom Mandos anyway.
Jaiden:
There are a number of things you can do to reinforce the plastic, including epoxy putty. However. I think you'd be surprised at how strong a .080" thick styrene helmet is to begin with once its assembled. I would recommend reinforcing around the seams mainly with something like Devcon Plastic Welder.
Fiberglass on plastic can be tricky too- it tends to head up as it cures, sometimes melting the plastic.
Also:
Below is a pic of what will be in the final 'kit':
The only thing not included with the kit to do a complete helmet is the rangefinder stalk. I will, however, provide a template so you can cut one out of 1/4" material of your choice.
I'll also include some strips of styrene to aid in joining the front and back halves under the ears.
