Zoltan Tyrell. Jango Finished

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 07-07-2009, 12:57 PM

Hi everyone. Ive been scouting around here for a short while to see who does what and how much it costs. Im TK-8089 from the UKG. Been thinking what to do next as i kinda want to stand out a little. Jango is a no brainer.

Thought id now say hi now as ive got the armour bits come through from Cruzer(still got some bits to get from him and what a great guy to deal with). Got ammo belt from Seeker(amazing lightning delivery). Awaiting Flight suit and jacket from Bobamaker, Jet Pack from bobby fett uk and ali bits for the gauntlets from Dark-side. So still a hell of a long way to go.

Sooo i thought id post some pics to start off.
Just finished polishing and weathering my armour so this is all i can show at the moment. Im pleased with it up to now.

So, hi guys. look forward to talking with you all.

**Jango 5204** · 07-07-2009, 02:05 PM

Looks like you're doing it the right way. Get all the good top quality parts the first time and it will save you money on upgrading later.

Jango is a no Brainer? Hhmmm?

A little questionable about that. Jango is not an easy task to work with. there are a lot of hard items/things to come by.

like footwear and pistols. but he does stand out.

**Rupidupe** · 07-07-2009, 05:46 PM

That is a frosty start to a Jango my friend! Welcome and good luck. These bounty hunters aren't easy to get together into a good looking costume but it's so worth the effort when you are finished. Which never seems to happen. There are always tweeks!

Yeah, a no brainer. As in it dosent take much thinking about which costume is gonna stand out. Dont you agree?
Or does no brainer mean different things in the UK and the US? Means its "obvious"

Ive got the GBX boots as i cant get any others. And im getting the pistols off Cruzer.
The only thing i cant get is the Girth belt.

Frosty? Is that good or bad.

**Mortis** · 07-08-2009, 03:22 AM

Looking good

. The weathering looks great, nice attention to detail. Keep us posted on the progress.

**GRINCH** · 07-08-2009, 04:36 AM

Really nice weathering on the armor! I am having difficulty as well regarding boots & girth belt.

**Rupidupe** · 07-08-2009, 06:46 AM

Frosty as in "Cool" Looking great my friend!

**Cruzer** · 07-08-2009, 07:13 AM

"...no brainer."-Definitely agree. The Jango suit is just so cool and very noticable...and even very versatile if someone wanted to go EU or custom.

You did a great job finishing that armor.

**Dark-Side** · 07-08-2009, 08:11 AM

the knee are really nice!

the armor too!!!

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 07-08-2009, 10:11 AM

Cheers guys. I enjoyed weathering it. I thought it would be pretty difficult but i just put on smears of black acrylic with orange enamel. Wire wool it and the shavings stuck to the orange and took off some of the black. Looked right so i repeated.

I agree Cruzer, nice armour. Dark-side, knees worked out a treat.

As soon as i make anymore progress ill post.

**runJEDIrun** · 07-09-2009, 09:45 PM

looks like a pretty good start to me

**Timbo Fett** · 07-10-2009, 02:37 AM

wow fantastic armour

, it looks like mine from cruzer

**delta0142** · 07-10-2009, 02:06 PM

excellent work on the weathering my friend; got a pm sent right to ya

**Mandalorian Guard** · 07-12-2009, 12:06 PM

Nice set of stuff you got there! You gone to the best for your Jango parts! Can't wait to see more in the future!

**Bobby Fett UK** · 07-12-2009, 01:55 PM

Jetpack out of the mold. Finishing up some bits and bobs and then the painting can start!

Ooh, nice. Thanks for the update mate. Hey Ive just read the thread singing your praises in the The Sarlacc Pit, Glad i bought off you now.
Got to wait till i get the soft parts from Bobamaker before i can go any further.

**Cruzer** · 07-13-2009, 01:36 PM

Here's more good news...finished your holsters yesterday and should be finishing your blasters today.

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 07-14-2009, 01:32 AM

Ha ha, Nice one Cruzer. Thanks for that. Bobamaker says we are still on schedule for this month. Id better start finding some space to put these things so i can work on them.
Still need a girth belt though. The place in the UK that sells bolo keeps saying they will have some in soon, but it never seems to happen.

Thanks guys

**Mandalorian Guard** · 08-07-2009, 02:20 AM

Any updates with this?

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 08-07-2009, 08:00 AM

Hi mate. Well, i got the rest of the bits and bobs from Cruzer on Thursday.
The mans a real gent.

Still waiting on bobamaker for the soft parts. Been put back 2-3 weeks though so im a bit stuck till they get here. Mind you, im gonna start the gauntlets this weekend if i can so ill see what happens.

**Mandalorian Guard** · 08-08-2009, 02:13 AM

Any pics?

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 08-09-2009, 06:18 AM

evening. Well ill post a couple of pics but im waiting for the flight suit and jacket as i said above. So not much to post really.

Pic of the Cruzer holsters and blasters. The Seeker ammo belt and piece of leather for the girth.
I love the work of Cruzer and Seeker. Top products.

When i held the helmet i was happy. As soon as i had the lid i knew Jango was just around the corner

Another Cruzer work of art.

Gauntlet darts off of Dark-side. nice

Test fitted the pieces for the gauntlets.

Just glued the hinge on. CA glue on the base and on the top

CA glue on the base and two part epoxy on top. Trying this to see if there is any difference in strength.

Thats it for now. Ill add as i build.
If there are any recommendations from any of you i will welcome them.

**Szlemm** · 08-09-2009, 06:27 AM

Sweet keep them coming, i got all my stuff coming from cruzer to so these pics have got me super excited!!!

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 08-09-2009, 09:10 AM

Good choice id say. The man is great to deal with.

**GRINCH** · 08-09-2009, 10:34 AM

Can u tell me Zoltan Tyrell is your armor CC or actual metal? From the first pics that u posted it is hard to tell. If CC, how did u achieve this look? Looking forward to seeing it completed.

**Commander720** · 08-09-2009, 10:39 AM

Looking really good. Most impressive as Darth Vader would say.

**Mandalorian Guard** · 08-09-2009, 11:28 AM

Looks nice stuff there!

Cruzer and Seekers leather stuff are cool!

Did Cruzer spraypaint your helmet? I be interested on how you fit your parts together on your flightsuit! Nice Work!!

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 08-09-2009, 02:41 PM

Sure. Its CC. Do you mean its difficult to tell because of the weathering or because the lighting is strange?

If the weathering, i used humbrol enamel orange and a little satin black acrylic.
Just used steel wool grade 0000 from start to finish. Nothing else to sand/polish it.

Yup, Cruzer painted my lid. There was no way id do it.

Id be interested to know how im to fit the parts to it as well.

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 08-15-2009, 01:51 AM

Evening. Not much to add really as im still sorting the gauntlets. Ive still got stuff to do on them but ill post what stage they are at anyway.
Still waiting for the bits off bobamaker so until then its just the gaunts.

**Verbal21** · 08-17-2009, 02:04 AM

real awesome pieces you got there. I'm practically drooling at all your pics

**Szlemm** · 08-17-2009, 04:06 AM

Sweet keep them coming, these are really going to be helpfull when my cruzer armor arrives

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 08-23-2009, 04:37 AM

Bit of an update. Finished weathering the lid.

**Mandalorian Guard** · 08-23-2009, 02:11 PM

Nice work! Looks like your Jango be done in no time this rate!

**Jango 425** · 08-23-2009, 02:16 PM

Very Very nice

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 08-23-2009, 02:31 PM

Its that "where do i get a girth belt from" thing.

**darthgaul** · 08-23-2009, 09:54 PM

Thats a beautiful set of armor you've got going!

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 08-31-2009, 09:25 AM

Only a small update here. Got the Flightsuit from Bobamaker and also the Jacket.
Managed to get a set of MR westars for a good price. These will serve me well for cirtain troops and use the Hyperfirm cruzer ones for others.

Started putting the armor on and ran out of snaps.

Oh and thanks Cruzer, got the gauntlets sorted.

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 09-06-2009, 10:34 AM

Another little update. Got all but Jetpack and Girth belt laid out now.
When the rest arrive(including more snaps) I can build.

**Mandalorian Guard** · 09-06-2009, 11:43 AM

Nice work! Have you attached your armour to your flightsuit yet?

**Jango 5204** · 09-06-2009, 12:22 PM

In regards to the armor/ vest attachment. If you CA glue your snaps on the back of your armor first. Put a little rub-n-buff on the snaps you can place the armor on the vest and see the little cirles where you need to puch the holes. I recommend wearing the vest, or at least put a pillow in it before you mark your vest for holes. The armor will sit different on the vest while wearing it than it does when it's flat. I did mine while I wore it, in a mirror.

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 09-06-2009, 12:26 PM

Indeed. Thats how ill be doing it. Exactly how ill be doing it.

Ill certainly be asking how to do things when i start.

**Bobby Fett UK** · 09-06-2009, 01:12 PM

Nick, looking very good buddy, that is a nice Jango set up. I guess you will be needing this very soon then buddy.

and this to hold it on

I have worked out the lower clip, which is removable if you don't want to use it.

The anchor points have been installed inside to mount the other side of the clips. I just need to give it a final black wash to soften any recessed areas, mount the greeblies and then cut the holes for the harness. Will be with you before the week is out

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 09-06-2009, 01:28 PM

oooohhh yes! Fantastic work there. Love the weathering. The harness looks really professional.

**Bobby Fett UK** · 09-06-2009, 01:41 PM

You sound surprised

The harness, all in black does have seem to have a harder edge than the Boba one, even though they share the same design principals.

Nick, can you give me your approx build/waist/girth

I will then cut the straps to the appropriate length. PM if you don't want to post it

and them jeans you have had for ages may be 32...........

Rob.

Surprised? Not a chance. Excited.

Right then. 5' 11", Waist, these days, is 36" in UK jeans but 34" in US jeans

41" chest. Oh for the love of exercise

**Bobby Fett UK** · 09-06-2009, 02:43 PM

Ok, Nick, I was hoping that would be the case......just make it to fit me then lol.

**Mandalorian Guard** · 09-06-2009, 02:47 PM

Looking Good! Real like that harness Rob!

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 09-17-2009, 04:52 AM

Finally got my Girth belt today.

Can now move forward and try to build it now. I shall post as i go.

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 10-16-2009, 06:22 AM

OK. Bit of an update on this. Got to the stage you see in the low quality pics.
Not got the hoses attached, no gloves, no thigh armour attached yet, need to put the range finder on the helmet and of course no jet pack. Ive got it i just haven't tried it with everything else yet.
These are pretty low quality pic so i hope t have some better quality one up over this weekend.

Things to remember. Keep my belly in and head down.

**Mandalorian Guard** · 10-16-2009, 06:36 AM

Its getting there! Get the rest of the gear on lol

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 10-16-2009, 07:09 AM

Cheers Phil.
Trying to attach the thighs as we speak.

**SNOWAURE** · 10-16-2009, 09:30 AM

Hello, how do you attach the :
1)Back armor??, can you publish some images
2)Front armor (all),can you publish some images
3)And you helmet,can you tell where was you purchase? (website)
thanks..........

**kibosh** · 10-16-2009, 10:22 AM

Man, your weatheirng is fantastic...

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 10-19-2009, 04:49 AM

A few more pics.

**Dante** · 10-19-2009, 05:31 AM

Thats looking awesome mate. I'm so jealous now. Mine isn't anywhere near done. I'll have a closer look at Mem!

**GRINCH** · 10-19-2009, 10:22 AM

To quote Borat..."Very Nice!!!"

**Boba Leo** · 10-19-2009, 10:50 AM

Awesome Bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leo

**Jango72** · 10-19-2009, 11:09 AM

Superb!!!

You might want to raise your jet pack just a little bit though, as it's sitting a tad low. The top edge of the back should be in line with your shoulders.

**Bobby Fett UK** · 10-19-2009, 12:17 PM

Mega Nick! Look forward to seeing it out and about.

Rob.

**Bobby Fett UK** · 10-19-2009, 12:18 PM

Mega Nick! Look forward to seeing it out and about.

**Naglium** · 10-19-2009, 12:37 PM

**Cruzer** · 10-19-2009, 05:16 PM

Wow, that's looking amazing!

Definitely cinch up the jp a lot.

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 10-20-2009, 04:44 AM

Jet pack up a bit. Check. It slides down a bit when i move. Ive just got to secure the webbing down.
Thanks for the kind words guys.
I tried to build it with the minimum of questions to you guys. Just searching on here for the info. Oh, and a few questions to cruzer

thanks man.
Thanks go to Cruzer, Seeker, Bobby fett UK, Darkside and Bobamaker for all the parts

Dante, If i get cleared ill be at MEM. Ive just submitted the pics.

**Dante** · 10-20-2009, 06:44 AM

Sweet, I can't see any reason why you wouldn't get cleared!

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 11-01-2009, 10:38 AM

I got some pics took last night at my mates studio

Yes mate. Im pleased to say.

How could it not be! Totally awesome.

**Mandalorian Guard** · 11-01-2009, 11:37 AM

Did you managed to sort your jetpack out. Weren't you having problems with it dragging down?

**Zoltan Tyrell** · 11-01-2009, 12:03 PM

Still does a bit. I need to secure the straps and it should be cool.

**Dante** · 11-10-2009, 04:45 AM

Looks cool to me mate. Really pleased you got cleared too. Must get on with mine...

**Cruzer** · 07-11-2010, 04:50 PM

**Dunesoldat** · 07-14-2010, 09:05 AM
