This is actually my first attempt at mandalorian armor. I'm going to do a relatively standard set of armor, but with my own few twists. I'm using a combo of WOF templates, and Skip's Peps. (I know, they're the same.) I'm only doing the helmet now, for it'll take a ton of cash to buy the aluminum. But for the helmet, I found some cheap stuff. Dryer vent aluminum, that's not coiled up for $4. About the size of 2-3 sheets of paper. Assembly is being done with rivets (partially for strength, partially for effect) and epoxy will also help. The alum is really thin, so I want to reinforce it later. Let me know what you think, and please be kind, for it's my first try again. But also feel free to comment away. I want to do my best on this. and without further delay...
The cheekplate is wee bit out of alignment, but bondo should cover it. I'd do more, but out of pop rivets. What you see is actually what I call, "Metalkura" Basicially, I glued pepakura templates to the metal, then cut and folded it. Since mando helms are so curvy, not like Mk.VI spartan armor, it's insanely easy. I'll add WOF pieces on the ears, and back to supplement it. I prefer working in pep (spent too much time around the 405th) so that why I didn't do a straight WOF template build.
