Ge'tal Gra'tua

Just like to share my custom Mando with the folks over here :lol
I've posted these over at the Mercs forum, but I wanted to share them with the good people at TDH as well!

This is Ge'tal Gra'tua, Mandalorian hunter and weapons designer in his "hunting" gear. What does he hunt? Have a look here!

Comments appreciated! :D

dude, bad as@#$% helmet and gounts; very og , everything looks great . i think the boots should be very dirty, or another color, but thats just for my taste.:drool:cheering:cheers troop on sniper scout mando.

I like the cross over design between a Cody Clone lid visor and Mando... Cool! :thumbsup

That is a GREAT looking costume! I can totally see it as a character in a future book! Congratulations on finishing up and thanks for sharing! :cheers

Wow, I LOVE THAT!!!!! :D Both mando's look realy awosme, I can't wait to see more pics. of both of them. Do you have any shots of either of them from the front? I'd like to see it, you did an excellent job. :cheers

I love that Mando design. The clone/mando helmet really works and the lower half of the costume, the boots and those big pouches strapped to your thighs go with the whole look too. They shouldn't but they do. Very nice going indeed :)

very cool design.

You know I love your work buddy! Your concepts are tip top! I love that you used the "Cody" visor in your Mando lid!

Thanks for the compliments, people! :cheering

Silver n Black>> I plan to have the boots darkened and dirtied a bit more!

Firespray pilot>> Character in a book, eh? That'll be REALLY interesting! :D

Jodo>> More pics coming! :lol

SinisterFett>> I'm planning to replace the big pouches with more mando-looking ones... :D

Skip>> Thanks to Ragelion for the Cody visor concept! ;)

Here are some more pics, for your enjoyment:

I definitely like the gauntlets.

dude this is great! you did an awesome job on the Cody visor, its cool to see that it can be done and not clash with the rest of the helmet. very well done

what did you make your armor out of?

I'm not into customs much BUT yours has a nice look...
Dirty up the red sash & cape to the same tone as your red pouch!

KEEP the pouches, they set your character apart.

You may need a cod plate to tighten up the whole suit.

Create a custom Rocketpack that is similar to Boba's. ALL mandos need a pack.
or they end up looking half done.

looks great!:thumbsup

Not necessarily, I've seen some Mandos minus a pack and look amazing. The pack wouldn't have to be a rocket/jet pack either. ;)

I agree with the comment regarding the pouches too. I like 'em. :)

Mercke: Thanks! :)

Koolboarder4: The visor idea was inspired by LFL artist Jamie Snell. I asked his permission to try it on my bucket! Swell guy! :D

BloodyGrunt333: Paper (thick board), fiberglass resin and bondo. In that order! :)

Sixxgunn13: Got a codplate now! Also kept the pouches! Still missing the pack, though.

Skupilkinson: Thanks, Skip! :D

Thanks for the comments, guys! Here's what I've been up to the last year...

Earlier this year, I had a solo costumes exhibition entitled "Resurrection III: Rise of the Mandalorians". I exhibitied 4 custom Mandalorian costumes during the exhibition and organised a casual photoshoot with the Rebel Legion Malaysia Outpost (in my capacity as the then Mandalorian Mercs Jebat Squad Leader). Here are some pics:

That's me in the green and my soulmate Ni'Sya in white. This is our second suits respectively.

A group pic with the rest of the team.

Next, the only Early / Sith Wars Era Mandalorian Crusader in Asia: Armata Vir (seen here with the lovely Poison Ivy). This costume was debuted during Movie Carnival 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This is me presenting a props workshop (not a political rally!)

Here's a suit I made for a vod in the Mercs:

Last but not least, my sweetheart's latest armor, the Firebug:

I hope these pics justified my disappearance for the past year. My apologies for being absent from this community... :skull

You've been very busy vod!

I like your "sweethearts" armor very much! I've always been a fan of the white and orange color combo. :)

I think your silence over the past year is justified. ;)

Thank you, ner vod! I'll make sure to post up more on this board for my next projects! :)

BTW, here's a concept of my next (prequel, if you may) armor, the one that Ge'tal wore during the Gali'draan conflict:

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/P8180038.jpg

I like the concept brother! Nice colours for a start. The spear is a nice touch too. :)

very nice ner vod... I've seen your work before, always been impressed by it! I even follow you over on DeviantArt!

Thanks, Skip! Here's the spear:

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...P8100572-1.jpg

It's now got a red piece of cloth tied to the shaft, just below the leather wrap.

Kal'ika: So it IS you! :D

Here's the beginnings of the new armor. It's thin aluminum sheeting that I intend to back up with fiberglass.

And last but not least, my favourite blaster (bottom): :D

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...s/P9140074.jpg

I do like that bottom blaster! They're both very nice actually but the bottom kicks shebs!

Thanks, Skip! Er... don't you sleep, brother? :)

Hardly! LOL! My 4 kids see to that! :)

LOL! Good luck! :D
