Hey I was rewatching scenes from Aotc and was wondering if anyone was aware of what material was used for Jangos armor in the kamino fight scene. I'm asking because when watching closely jangos armor seems to be very flexible and actually bends. If anyone has any idea what was used it would be very much appreciated if you could let me know Thanks

The screen used armor was fiberglass with a coldcast resin on the outside that can be polished like aluminum. it is not very flexible, though I suppose it will a little. The screen used(as best I can tell from gallery images and tales) had cracks in it from this flexing, so it's best not to try to perform all the same moves that Temuera did in the film lol.

I heard there were scenes shot with a rubber cast as well, like the scenes on Kamino, so that the stunts could be done without breaking the armor. But for trooping and the points in the movie where he or the armor are just sitting there, I'm sure it was a cold cast like syllander said

Thanks for the info guys Would it be possible to recreate a set of boba armor in a type of rubber cast? At least just the torso area.

I don't see why not, but that'd mean making the pieces first, molding them, then casting them in a high strength rubber. Tac15 may be too rigid, but that's strong stuff. You could look into it for sure
