Har-en (Bullet) Macar Mandalorian Captain

Reserved for Pictures

Ooooh this sounds good. Hopefully you'll have some eye candy soon.

What I am going to do is use a boba fett costume/design and add to the arms and leggs where there is no armor

It will cover up the Pockets but I am not really worried about that, I will hopefully also be able to form a deathwatch helmet

To help give you an idea of heavy Modern Era Mandalorian armor, here is the link to my thread here: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showt...-and-new-armor The most recent pix are the kit as it stands now. To achieve the "heavy" look I went well beyond Jangos armor. I also wanted to keep it obviously Mandalorian and obviously Modern Era in nature. I think a heavy set of armor from a different era, say the KOTOR era could look more like clone armor, being fully enlcosed. However, in the modern era, the Mandalorians armor isnt an infantry based design it's more of a specialist type armor designed for maximum mobility and coverage. Hence the coverage design. The vital area's are covered without addig the bulk weight and mobility hampering effects of enclosed armor. I based alot of my armor more on the appearance of the Mandalorians in the Legacy comics. Actually from Cade Skywalker before the Mando's were shown. My armor coverage is as follows...

Helmet
armored collar
torso plates (front and back)
large belled shoulder
enclosed bicep armor
elbow armor
gaunts
armored gloves
cod
heavy kama
thighs
knee's
scaled shins (currently being upgraded to enclosed shins)
heavy 4 piece boot armor.

It's alot more coverage beyond Jango and the mobility is much hampered compared to a Jango set. However, I'm way better off than a clone or TK for mobility!

How about this

In addition to the boba fett template

Reinforce the sides of my waist and below my armpit (this has to be two peices as most of us bend between our ribcage and hipbone)
I will definatly Use a Larger Shoulder Peice but I don't quite know where to get a template, I will then have the boba peice as a second layer attatched under it hanging out
I will reinforce the gloves with an armor layer covering the shape of the pads
The exposed area to the left and right of the breastplates I will put a small shaped strip to help fill the gap between it and my shoulder
I think the Jango peices would fit nicley on my shin and upper leg and further add to the armor
Elbow pads would be nice but i will have to see how they fit around a boba gauntlet and may have to adjust shape and size

Love the shoulder pads! and curious what material did you make the armor plating out of? it looks to thick to be trash can armor.

That has a bit of a shogun look to it with the pauldrons and the girthbelt and kama set up. It definately looks heavy.

I used PVC, first I had to heat it up and flatten it out, then had to put the template on so it was with the curve of teh PVC piping, otherwise it would work against the curve and turn out wrong.

Looks great, man! The studded shoulder pads realy add that 'bad-to-the-bone' look. They look almost segmented, do they flex in any way?
I'll be interested to see what color scheme you go with.

Here are some pictures of the sword I am building, it is obviously no where near completion...I just threw together the skull to show you guys how it will all work

((Btw this was started with permission of patient_zero))

The Space in between the skull will be filled with another 2 layers of PVC to match the handle and blade

I will use bondo (I think that will work) to give everything more of a rounded look (giving the skull the extra rounding it needs to not look like 4 layers of PVC)

I haven't gotten around to making a blade however, it defiantly won't be a great-sword because of the scale, but if I can get this to work it will be much easier to make a great-sword version

***On a side note***Could I possibly make this out of a foam material then reinforce it with resin and bondo? If so that would be sooooo much easier




Will add pictures when they finally get to my computer from my phone

Here is an update with one of my gauntlets almost complete. Here is the setup for ya

There are two blade at the end meant for close quarters fighting
Between the blades are a set of Electrical Points that can surve as currents for a short range stun or if impaled by the blades it shuts down your central nervous system
One side of the Gauntlet fires a Chemical agent that is highly corrosive, in fact it must be mixed while sprayed to avoid eating away the contain it would be stored in! (that is the reason for two hoses on one side)
The other is for your flame thrower junkies
The control panel on the back is a new model and can be used for Holocommunication

Gaunts are lookin good man! the fins on the back are a cool touch

haha u got it backwards, the "fins" are blades on the front and the keypad will be painted over with star-wars letters ect

Is that a battery pack?

Everyone knows they don't have X-box 360 in star wars.

Looking good man!

haha yeah I sold my xbox awhile ago and a lot of the controllers were non-trade-in-able because my dog chewed on the joysticks

Here is my chosen Color Scheme


Hey gimmie a break its been awhile since I've used GIMP and the helm is a jango helm from the internet

I promise that my actualy painting will be better than that

Nice color choice. Sorry to be nosy, but are you planning on making the background color a metalic kind of grey, or matt grey?

Hope that answers the question, they didn't have any neon/florescent green so I went with red and "nickel satin" I have a black base to give the nickel a little less shine

Awesome, man! That sucks that you weren't able to get the green, but the red turned out reeealy good.
The nickel paint looks alot like metal....I might have to get some.
anyway, can't wait to see the finished product

Weathering is done for the main plates including Cod and Neck

The Gauntlets/Helm/Jetpack have all been ordered and should arrive shrotly!
I have made the shoulders stick out less so they don't protrude as much.

Rain today :/ Dunno how much will get done

wow dude this is lookin great! cant wait to see it done!

awesome battle damage!

all my fun parts arrive this week! Can't wait to start working again

I got my gauntlets in today! took less time to paint them than what I thought but they turned out great. A little tight on the left one buy I can cut back some of my material to help with that. Just waiting on my jetpack and helmet and I'm good to go (couldn't get a pic of my shin armor before the camera died.)

got my helmet and jetpack in today!!!! The pack should be painted by tomorrow pics will be up later tonight

Can't wait!

Helmet will be repainted, jetpack will be painted.
Will add knee guards and shins when I get them (re) made

The straps for the pack hide really well I am pleasantly supprised

I am debating on the cape however....thoughts?

I'd say do a smaller weathered cape like Boba's.

will definatly tear and weather it up, it has to be shorter right now I can trip on it walkin backwards

the buy'ce really contrasts with the armor... not sure why but I like it a lot... it just has a really unique look to it.

had all my pictures taken of the suit completed and the camera left for a two week vacation in the carribean :/

Wow! Looks nice so far.
From your post I'm guessing the camera left without you? Ouch....

Nice job bro, good ingenuity in the armor design, it has its own uniqueness.

Founda Loophole! my Dads g/f is coming back to pick up her kids and take them I could possibly have the camera then for a few hours....

Don't get me wrong I could just retake the pictures but I am currently Unwilling to get back into costume atm lol I'm enjoying looking at my mostly Completed work :P

Well this is it! I just want to put a red line on the center chest peice and I'm complete (aside form a weapon and attaching the rangefinder)
Fits comfortably and Needs some velcro adjustments for the armor parts but other than that I'm satisfied!




Generally the back part of the neck peice will be mroe or less hidden by the jetpack which I was not able to equip myself

WOW! Awesome, dude! now all you need is a weapon.

Very cool! Nice kitchen too.

Looks really good! I think adding some kind of ammo belt would really give more depth to the entire outfit.

I plan on having a few more soft parts added and pulling back teh Kama some but nothing that I'm looking to do in the immediate future.

Oh and Talon, why can I not read any of the text on the Mando Mercs Webpage? It looks mando'a

Probably an April Fool's joke.

Kaz,

Very impressive, bruv. BTW- Feelin the color scheme.

Thats AWESOME!!

Damm u really silly string the sh!t out of that predator hihihihi..Jk couldnt help it

looking really good man, better watch out though might set your cape on fire when the jetpack is in use

well I'm a mando, the cape is weaved with a flame resistant fiber than disperses heat and allows my heels and such not to get ion burns

Ha.......makes me think of the scened in the Incredibles (yes I have young kids) when he is asking for a cape and the costume lady is telling him why a cape is a bad idea.

That sniper pic reminds me of when I was playing Modern Warfare 2 and I was about to snipe a guy across the map, then right as I pull the trigger a guy appears right in front of me, it didn't turn out good for him.

I am liking the shoulder pads that you choose for the suit. Overall nice job vod.

Dude I love it ,but ya gota lose the cape or what ever that is.

The updates to the suit....obviously made the vest an actual vest....it's hard to believe it was so much easier to move after the alterations were made. I still have to sew up the arm areas to hide the flip side of the fabric, my other gauntlet is in repair now and i have tubing for the gauntlet on that is not shown.

I will also have a sword (Currently a katana) that will help show my character is a Captain

I think, To protect against "Ion" burns, I recommend just using an elongated kama like the jet troopers in Battlefront 2..... and I think 1

much like what I have now. The cape is my alternative to the jetpack which i am currently missing my straps for anyone have a tutorial on making straps for a jetpack?

You culd always use neodyniam magnets and attach it that way
