Swedolorian Jango

Hi!

I'm not a frequent poster at this forum, but I've been a member here for two years now, and visit the site almost every day.

Now it time I post some pictures of my progress....

First, I want to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge here. You have all made prop building to my favourite hobby!

Leather works:

Holsters

Belt pockets

Braided belt - my own solution. The braids are sawn on a larger piece of leather, and a old belt added so I can easily strap it around the waist. The belt with the pockets hides the belt.

A close up on the braid before I coloured it. (6 braid, 6mm)

Helmet:

Proud owner of a BKTB helmet!!! Dremeld, sanded and primed ready for the Ruff n' buff

Armour:

Shoe,and leg armour (the vest is just on it's way to be finished, so I haven't started on the "torso armour" yet.

Gauntlets, soon finished....

My goal is to be finished within 3 months. Still need a jet pack though.

Hope u like the pictures I will soon post some more.

That's some excellent looking armour you have there and good work on the holsters/belt, topped off nicely with a BKTB bucket...top choice.

Can't wait to see it when it's done. Good luck with it.

That's looking very impressive for the start!
Well done!

And yup, 3 months are possible (but 1 1/2 are to be beaten ...ok without jet pack...).

However, looking forward to your progress.

Goodluck with your stuff! It's looking great! Nice leather work! And don't be shy to post! Are those RA gauntlets? They look like mine, but nicer lol mine are a bit beaten up.

You've got some good looking pieces there. Looking forward to seeing it all pull together!

Very impressive . . . .

Patience gets you a lot further.

Good job man!

Nice leather work, can't wait to see it all together.

Very Nice set up so far, looking forward to seeing more pics.

My BKBT is ready!!!

Not weathered, but I'll do that together with the rest of the armour when it's all ready.




Silver is Ruff n' buff, and the blue is Model Master french blue, mixed with white for the lighter blue and black for the darker blue.

WOW! Well done!
especially the paintjob so far!

...is it me, or are the upper mandible edges a lil bit warped to the right side??

No, your quite right I'm afraid...
I attached the T-visor with contact glue, and didn't notice that the right side came a bit higher then the left.
I guess it wouldn't be a to big problem thi fix it, but I would need a new T-visor.

I see another fine Jango coming along. Your doing a great job. I really like that Rope belt.

Hi,

I have been working a bit on my costume during the summer.
I've just finished my knee's and the left gauntlet. (the right one was done before) I also fixed the belt pockets with sides on all pockets.
Here's the pictures...

These are sintra knees that I have builded up using bondo. The darts are metal.

I have added the darts (metal) and the hook. I colored the hose blue with textil color (must be a better way though .)

Here's a picture of the sides on the pockits.

I have the vest ready, and I'm working on building the chest and back.
I also have a jet pack on it's way other the Atlantic

Thx for your time...

where did you get the braid belt? how much did it cost to you?

Very nice!

Good stuff sir, very good. ^^

I made it myself. I used an old belt, that I attached a piece of leather to. On that I attached the braids. The braids themself I purchased here in Sweden at a local leather shop for 9$/meter (A total of 120$-13 rows) I didn't attach any braids under the leather belt with the pockets, as they wouldn't show anyway...
Then I dyed everything brown.

I attached a gasket today, What do you think??

It gets a little hot though...

Everything is looking absolutly fabulous! Do you have any fans in your helmet though? That may be why its getting so hot. Also, do you have any sort of voice amp? You don't need that, just wondering though.

No fan yet.. I have the material, but there is not that much space for it. (I have a big head! ) But I will have to put it in there, or else I will die of dehydration after 20 minutes...
Voice amp, yes! You see the cord from the mic in the picture on the side of the helmet. I found a very nice set for 37$. The speaker is a bit big, but I'm planning of placing it in the jet pack. (It's powerful enough)

Hello there Swedolorian -
Your outfit is looking GREAT!
i just have a question: What did you use to insulate the inside of your helemt? if you have any pictures that would be great.
i'm still waiting for my armor and stuff to start on my project but i like to peek in here to see what evryone os doing...
keep up the good work!!!
Solo

Swedolorian, looking great. :thumbup
Couple questions; where did you get the helmet gasket? Also I've heard a lot about the BKBT helmets. Where are they found and what are they? New to the site if you couldn't tell

I made the gasket myself. It was quite easy. I bought a piece of leather. Cut it after the helmet. Then I used a sawing machine for the stitching. I used super glue to fold the edges.
I used 3M's dual band (type of velcro that's very strong) to attach it to the helmet.
The helmet is made by BKBT (BiggerKidsBiggerToys) he's a member here.
It was only made in a limited run. Don't think he makes the anymore...

Solojedi: I have regular foam inside, but I will have to change it as it get to hot...

Hi,

I've been working with the vest and the chest armor.
The flightsuit turned out a nightmare, and I had to dye it three times!
Now I think I got the right tone, but it's a bit to dark, but a regular wash should fix that.
I'm still issing the jet pack and the back armor, but I hope I have my jet pack within 2 weeks. (over seas shipping)
Then it's weathering left to do. 8)

Super nice man!. Yes, the flightsuit is quite dark....

Are those the master replicas, right? I´ve already got them ^_^

What kind of jet pack are you waiting for? I´m waiting an Arena Version and I am quite excited

Are those the final version of the gloves? Because they are black...

Hey, where did you get the flack vest?

Well, good job!

wiieehhj ...Nice!!

Swedolorian, your Jango looks awesome.

That looks sweet man! Don't blow out your wallet all at once!

Dude, thats pretty darn impressive!

hey, i wonder if u could make a gasket for my DP 97!?

Finally... After two years work, I finally stand ready with a complete Jango suit!
The jet pack was the final piece. And yes I know... It's a ROTJ Boba Jet Pack, but as I'm attending the Swedish sci-fi fair in a week, it will do for now.
I will then repaint it with my airbrush, and fix damage.

I have installed a speaker in the jet pack, and a mic in the helmet.
The last two weeks I have spent to ensure that I will have no problems with armor falling of when I'm trooping.
So without further due... My suit:

WOW very nice, great work - put up more pics ! very nice to look at.

amazing costume buddy!!

Thx guys! okey more pictures...



What about this

Hey Stefan! Looks awesome!! I can't wait untill next weekend when i get to see it in living colour!

And you know.. it's ok if you bought the ROTJ jet-pack.... i don't mind "hand-me-downs"..

By the way, I can´t troop with my master replicas. They are too expensive and nice, i prefere to use Rubies one to troop

Bah! Troop with the MR's! They add so much to the costume. Honestly you'll get a couple of scratches on them but as long as you never plan to sell them it doesn't matter.

This weekend I attended the Sci-Fi convention here in Stockholm.
Me and my friend BobaSwede paraded the floor as father and son.
It was the first time i trooped, and I must say it rocked!!
Just to see all happy faces of children (even they over 30 ) really made my day!
I took the libery of using a friends foto and do a lite bit of Photoshoping.
Hope u like the result...

Costume looks great. Love the photo. Is that a background from KOTOR?
