Although this project is shaping up nicely... I strongly recommend blasting that sucker with lacquer once it's done... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I sweat profusely in armor... and I doubt your glue could withstand wearing it for extended periods of time!

First of all great job.

Secondly I would not bondo this as it will crack. I did this on my Jinroh. When it flexed the bondo cracked. Maybe you can coat it in resin or epoxy?

Fiberglass would be better. Smelly and messy as hell, but far more durable.

Nice work! IU agree with DSB, go with fiberglass and resin, it'll be much better.

Stay safe, and thanks for sharing.

Tim.
