Custom Mando :D (Pic Heavy)

(y) Wow, a dryer? I never would have thought about that. I am totally amazed!! I'm getting my chest armor from Rotton, but definitely making the shoulder and shin armor. Thanks for the idea (y)

Oh THAT I LIKE!! You gotta get a red visor like mine if you do it, BLOOD RED.


I need to get a red visor. Where did you get yours? My color scheme is red, black and grey. I was thinking of getting a red flight suit, but decided on black instead.

fenixprops (tk_2111) on fleabay, it was like $14.00, heres the item number for a green one, ask him for a red, i'm sure he'll put up an auction: 300252159784, it takes a little time (3 weeks), it comes from Argentina

Sorry Caroline, didn't mean to steal your thread.;)
By the way, any updates? Got a bucket yet? I hope to start my custom today.

Bucket: I'm still liking the white slash in it. I'll make yet another drawing, LoL. I'll also put up my finalish look.

Yeah, go for the slash, as you can see by mine, my guy got into a couple of good fights :D Got a few nice scratches, and 2 dents, I'm gettin' old, didn't duck fast enough:lol:

I really meant like a white stripe but I may put a big slash down the bucket and just say the white was there to show off the scar. :D And I do need a bucket still. I'm thinking about just making one but think I'm ganna want practice with the premade buckets for when I do Jango/Boba.

Speaking of buckets...

Nice frontal view, eh? I like it and that's what it'll look like. I'm working on final whole armor concepts, don't worry. (Yay for Fridays!)

Yup. I did use a hair dryer. :D Worked PERFECTLY! :D :D :D

So, the primer is coming off if I scratch it accidentally. Not so good...but the armor still looks nice, I must say. :D


So does it help to shape it with the boiling water first, then you use the hair dryer to adjust the shape?

I'm really liking the color scheme and design of your armor. You look to be off to a great start. I can't wait to see the finished product, then maybe I can talk my wife into making one too...

Yup, pretty much. I'll probably do more shaping with that hair dryer again just to be sure it fits okay. And when you do use the dryer, try to isolate the area you're shaping unless you do the whole thing at once, 'cos the plastic does return to it's original form if heated and allowed to do so. Just a warning. :)

yup!, that's the ticket, you gotta do it just like this^^^^

Oh yeah, I really LIKE FRONTAL VIEWS:p JK

Use the WOF template and size it down a little (unless you gotta big head like mine:lol:)
Mine has a 9.75" opening (HUGH MELON)
I used FREE Priority mail envelopes to make mine, then resin, glass and bondo. Not too hard, if I can do it, you can too. :cheers

LoL, I'm exactly the opposite. I have a tiny head. But thankfully it's a rather clever head. ;) :p

Hmmm, enveolpes? Wow, nice! I may just try that...

And thanks, glad you like it, guys. :D

yeah, envelopes were FREE baby, and they have a good thickness to hold the shape for the resin coating.

Well I went shopping today 'cos I didn't go yesterday. I got duct tape, more velcroe, and spray paint. I now have white and black that I'm going to keep. I did buy a purple and silver but I don't like either of them. I tested all the colors on scrap plastic. I'll see if I can return the silver and purple and it's no big deal if I can't. So my trip was semi productive. Purple is going to be a little difficult to find, I guess. OH! And I got another, bigger trash can! :D It'll be for back, thigh, and shin beskar'gam. Maybe knee, IDK yet. Depends on how much I have left. Anyways, I'll post pics of all my stuff later.
