Hardening, first try!

Today, I bought some resin  and fiberglass cloth and started with the hardening of the helmet.

 As you can see, there is already some fiberglass on the inside of the helmet, and we mixed some of the resin with the hardener. Oh, and there is a badass, two-headed dinosaur in the background, rawr!

 Applied some of the resin, it's a lot more fiddling and mess than the papercrafting.

 Finished applying the resin we had to put some more hardener on it, because we didn't put enough of hardener in the mixture at the beginning.

And this happens if you forget to buy thinner and hit the table with the rock-hard brush. Also, Monster Rehab ftw!

Even tough it's some hard work, it's fun to do it because you can already see a bit of the result in your work.

The guy who is holding the helmet in the second picture helped me with the resin because he already has some experience with it, he also has a blog, currently only about his Lego creations and in German, but he will make some more posts about his papercrafts and in English. He also took most of the pictures today.
Before I continue working with the resin, I'll have to get some thinner because I don't want to kill another brush.
