My sons Jango

Ok, so I started on my sons Jango.. It wont be perfect by any stretch... hes 4 so Im not going to kill myself. But, Its coming along nicely. I have to have it ready for Halloween and his B day, which is right after.

Looking good! Did you build the bucket?

looks good

Now that is cool! Your sons screen accurate Jango! Looking good!

So cool! I love those father and son and or father and daughter projects.

I didnt build the bucket. TK2280 picked it up for me. Thor, I believe is the maker?

Here are the boots I got for him. Not perfect, but they will also double as his winter boots.. so.. double duty.. lol.

Is that Carmine I see????

were did you got the boots at?

Rob, who is Carmine? and Cupluv, I got them at target for $27

found them on the web

Cup, sorry I was out of town, and Im glad you found them.

I got the right gauntlet mostly finished, (actually, TK2280 gave me his sons old one, Im just making it look like Jangos.. hehe... Thanks Rob!!) and I made the shell for the left one last night. His thighs, shins and cod are made and primered, I just need to make the knees and the hard pieces will be done.

I picked up the hose and brass fittings from Lowes the other day, and in looking at the pix, the inside of Jangos hose looks blue?? Sooo I just put the nozzle of the spray can in the end of the hose and sprayed it in and it coated the inside very nicely.

Now, to cut out the pattern for his vest, sew it up and buy his jumpsuit.

Oh, I have more pix, just have to upload them.

Ok, a few new pix.

I know that its not super detailed, but he will only wear it for a little bit before he is to big for it anyways. So Im not putting the details pieces that he will just break off...

Worked on his gauntlet tonight.

Does anyone have a link to a more accurate jumpsuit? A garrison mate of mine found a good link, but I was wondering if there is a closer in color one. I could always add some bleach and lighten the blue to purple... Also, is there a pattern floating around for the vest. I was in Joanns today and the only thing I could find didnt look right.

Thanks, Wags

So I painted the gauntlet. I have to add another set of magnets to keep it shut though. Im dumb and forgot to compensate for his sleeve. But, the shirt he has on is really thick. So we will see when his flight suit gets here.

Still need to clear coat it. No thats not paint on his shirt, Im redoing the living room/dinning room and thats drywall dust that he is playing in.. kids....

wow lucky kid

Looks AMAZING. great job.

What are those blasters? I need to get a cheap pair soon for my little guy.

Thanks fett4 and Kibosh, I got them from my sister about 6yrs ago for my bday. As a joke, cause they are kids size. They are rubies dart guns. So I just cleaned them down and painted them. I cant seam to find the kids size anymore though. Just the normal adults size.

Thanks. I reread my post, and did not mean to infer that yours were cheap. Just meant that I needed to pick up a pair, and wasn't sure where to get them.

Well, his flight suit and vest came in today!!!!!!!! ( I think I was happier then he was.. lol)

Here are the newest pix. I have all his armor parts done, except his left gauntlet, its about 60% done. I was also waiting on the suit and vest so I could cut his hoses to fit inside...I cant wait for Halloween to got out with him...

That is one cute little Jango there... lucky kid is right.

Wow! Looks great. Did you make the ammo and girth belts???

Looking good man Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys.. I should have it done this weekend. As for the girth belt, its just the Rubies. Couldnt see spending alot of money on something he was only going to wear for a small time frame. I paid $9 shipped of ebay.

Man, how did I miss this. I've been asking questions about doing a Jango for my 4 year old daughter. Those boots are awesome. I'll be watching this from now on.

Ah! Perfect. It looks great. Are you going to make holsters?

What color is the flak vest? I can't tell if it's black, or dark gray. I went to the fabric store last night, and they only had a suitable black fabric, and I wasn't sure if it was too dark.

I just couldn't resist it. He's so adorable. I remember when my kids were that little

That is AWESOME!!!!

Kibosh, I picked up the rubies. They need a lot of cutting cause they fit around me, but they will work for a 4yr old. My son is pumped!!!

Where'd you get them? eBay? I'm trying to avoid spending $30+ on them!

Looks amazing! Great work vod!

Vod = brother/sister in Mandalorian...

Kibosh, I spent $30 shipped for both the holsters and guns. The guns actually make the sound.. lol

@ One End- thanks man.. Copy the Mando.... Im a clone at heart.. always will be!!!

I built his left gauntlet last night. I took pix, but Im just to tired, and lazy...., to post them... had a troop today, and another tomorrow

What!! You, tired and lazzy.......no, how can that be. Anyway lady, when I get back from disney on the 2nd, I may have to use your man lair to do some paint'n, I have no luck out in garage. Keeps web'n up on me need heat!!

Ok, soooo, new pix. I had these done on Friday but have been repainting the living/dining and hall way this week and just had the floors re sanded and urethane put down, so no workeee on the costumeeee.. so says the wife.. lol But, here are they are and Im on the way back into the garage since the floors are still drying.

The Gauntlet isnt accurate but I figure it will work for him. Im going to make the missle tonight and put it on. Just have to figure out how to make the cylinder/cone part of it...

Good job!!

this is so awesome! great job!

Thanks guys!!!

Ok, so the armor color dulled downed ALOT when I put on the poly But I'm not going to frett it... It will still look cool I think. I didn't get his gauntlet rocket done yet, but I will soon. Got side tracked by another project...

And its funny, but I have decided to make Jango "MY" next build. Im a Boba fan but a small guy and it seems that Jango is a bit stockier then Boba.. so that will be good for me..

Ok, so after talking with TK2280, we went through the options about attaching the armor.... and I think I am going to go with Ind Velcro. I think the snaps are just going to take way to long for the little guy.

So, Im hoping to get everything done this weekend. I hope. That is if the wife lets up on the reigns a bit on the house and lets me go out into the MC and play... lol

Sorry Rob, I just cant drop that much coin at one time. Maybe down the road.

Scortch is less $$ then Jango. Or....just use all your UPS checks to buy both!!! See problem solved. Your welcome.

Well, I got the left gauntlet all done. I finished up the rocket last night. Easier then I thought. I took a dowel rod and marked the center on it then took it to my table sander and just ground it down. Then took a Bic pen apart and took off the ink tube and the ball point and cleaned out the ink and used it for the tip. I drilled into the tip of the cone so I could set it inside.

I also attached his armor pieces to his vest last night. It looks cool. I cant wait. I hope the weather man is wrong here for Mi, cause its supposed to rain on Halloween....

awesome and sweeeeet

its motivateing to made one for my girlsfriends little (5years) ;o)

Ok, now I totally need to finish my Zam!!!

Looking great!!

Fantastic costume. You have been an inspiration on mine.

Thanks Thumper, JP. Its been fun building this.

This has helped me get a good feel for when I do mine.

I still need to figure out a way to get the boot plates on without tearing up his boots. They ARE his winter boots after all....

I had to shave down his thighs and shins down some. He has short legs.. and I refit his belt. Alot. It looks way better then in the pix now.I also am going to ad a snap in the back of his belt to hold it up a little better.

Oh, and I also got his left gauntlet clear coated and his rocket added to it.

Now onto my daughters Rotta back pack....

I put a small piece of velcro on the inside outer portion of the shoe armor, and then on each outside of the shoes. It moves with her stepping motion, but does not fall off at all. I used industrial strength velcro.

Thanks JP. I will give that a go. Ok so here are the new pix of the fixed holsters and finishe left gauntlet.

Where did you find that small hose for the gauntlet?

Lowes. In the pluming section. 1/4 inch.

Note too Wags: MAKE SABER DARTS!!!!!

Ok, so we had fun on Halloween. Alot of my friends and there kids came over, so it was fun. My buddy is about the same size as my wife, yea, he is small.. lol, so he put on my wifes shock trooper. It was a lot of fun!!!

The costume looks great. I think we did the same thing with the Jango blaster belt. I had to modify the crud out of mine.

Looked great!

wimpywimpywimpy HEFTYHEFTYHEFTY!

I am so jealous, these are the times I want a kid. I hope...no I expect that in about 10-15 years we see him on these boards with an uuber Jango costume. Out of respect for your effort, he's not allowed to give up costuming. (Ofcourse that is wishful thinking, I would never deny anyone the choice of costuming or not.)

I'm asking around but where did you get the boots from & Gauntlets?

That's a great suit!

Did you end up finding a supplier for the flight suit and vest, or did you make it yourself?

Cheers
Steven

EDIT: Never mind, I've just seen your answer on another thread.
