1. The weakest part of the helmet is the recess at the top-centre that centres the faceplate. I've already cracked it twice while sanding it. Solution - a piece of scrap brass plate.
2. Bent the brass plate to conform with the helmet contours.
3. laying fibreglass mat over the brass plate.
4 & 5. Fibreglass mat over brass plate resined and curing.
6. Shinier and shinier!
7. Faceplate off.
8. Faceplate on.
