There is the option to buy it with fiberglass included. The next step is to cover our already hardened model with polyester putty, or also called automotive trimmer. This process has to be done very fast to prevent the fiber from drying out before it picks up the shape we want. I did it following this tutorial, where it is explained to us that we must cut it into small pieces and stick it to strokes with acrylic resin. Next, and to provide our hunt of a good hardness and consistency, we will apply a layer of fiberglass.įiberglass can be applied in several ways. For the inner layer we will do a similar process: remove the sticks and apply a first layer of acrylic resin to have a consistent base.
With this we already have the outer layer of the Bio-Helmet of Predator completely dry and hard. To avoid it, 2 cross-shaped sticks on the inside of the helmet, we give a layer of resin on the outside and wait for it to dry. As the resin is liquid the paper will be moistened for a moment and we can deform the model that has cost us so much paste. Once the paper mold is ready, touch it to harden it with acrylic resin, which can be found in any paint shop.
