Don Post 96 or Scratch Build? Please, Need help!


OK, so... I have come into posession of a Don Post '96. Now... unfortunately... there are some problems with this bucket. I've actually had it since last Christmas, but have just now decided to work on it, due to the special circumstances surrounding this bucket...


See, this bucket previously belonged to a local comic book store. The store had bought it (for it looks like) $75, or was selling it for that much, one or the other -- that's the price on the tag. Well, apparently, they had had the top of the bucket signed by Mr. Bulloch himself. Yeah, I know, I freaked out too. Here's where the bad news begins: The comic book shop moved across town, and in the move, somehow managed to drop the bucket... breaking the stock vizor (no biggie) but also cracking the left side of the helmet, from the visor, through the mandable, through the left earcap...


So, I come to my fellow brethren here on the forums... should I really fix up this bucket, or should I keep it on the shelf and make a bucket from scratch?


Pics highly related... let me know if it's salvageable with some bondo or something... I have no idea how to work fiberglass, so if someone suggests that, please provide tutorial links, too...
