Rondo is a mixture that combines both the Bondo body filler 'paste' and fiber glass resin and creates a runny Bondo consistency. I also applied a coat of a mixture called 'Rondo'. You do not have to coat every square inch with Bondo because this will create more work and potentially take away some details. Once the fiber glassing process is done and dry, you can start applying thin coats of Bondo body filler to the outside of the piece. The fiber glassing is done only to the inside so keep the exterior details. Combining the two creates a very strong and light reinforcement to the inside of the costume piece. After both layers have dried, then I use the same fiberglass resin with fiberglass matte/cloth. I do this by using a fiberglass resin and using a paintbrush to coat the inside and outside with it. The next step was so start reinforcing the card stock. I will also be using my own model of Legacy Effects Tarkov chest plate from the “We Are ODST” live action short film.Fiberglass and Bondo After doing a test fit of all the pieces, I was happy with the scaling and fit of the armor. I will be using Google Sketch-Up 7 for this tutorial.
