Yeah, I revised my post. Fett didn't use real Mandalorian Iron in his armor. He wore the el-cheapo "Made in Taiwan" brand =D
Has anyone allready done this helmet idea?
- Thread starter Pesh
- Start date
OK, initial work on the amour has been... initiated...
Again, these are first time around test pieces, I like making changes so please; suggestions welcome.
Also note: All the cuts, dents and scoring on the armour are actually there and not just painted (it's a bit hard to tell from the pictures admittedly)
Armour (shoulders are done too, forgot to take pictures though
whoops)
Collar
Left (should I put a proper decal here?... I quite like it)
Right (thinking about burning some of the lights, dont really want to though...)
Kidney
I have a vest now as well which I have to work out how to 'damage'...
Back piece and cod coming soon...

If your going to burn the lights...I would go with maybe putting together your own board instead of ruining the one you have now.
Other then that you have really outdone yourself on this project! Looks awesome.

It's coming along really nicely.
I would suggest adding the yellow to the armor to show the under coats of paint as seen on the original suit. Also to add the same effect, add the gray and dark red paint bits on the helmet.
Keep up the good work.

Lookin good, it looks like **** (in a good way, not bashing). You may want to go over it with a wash of dirty craptastic-ness if you havent already.
What is your armor made from?

Cheers people,
Yeah Clayster, I know what you meant And the armour (mine not Fett's) is made of Sintra. The correct dents and yellow paint still need to be added (as does some more work on the helmet which I've already started) as before mentioned, I have a weird way of working, i.e. in reverse...
Well, I'm off to get some real paints... can't use rattle cans for everything.

That looks great! I like how the left chest piece has the burn mark. (Like a model rocket took off his boob!). Only problem I have is that the green seems a bit too dark, but your going to change it all anyways, so great v1.0! Good luck on the other painting and armor parts. I would consider burning the vest, but thats up to you. Good luck! This blows me away, seriously.
Updates coming...
Helmet has been retouched and I'm happy with it (variation on Reds mostly)
Askywalker, the green isn't really that dark, I had to choose between the w/flash picture (all detail washed out) or the artificial light photo (Colours are way off.) I'll try to take some better ones during daylight for the next update.
Thanks people.

Really nice looking weathering there! But what happened to Boba's old dents?

Did you actually get eaten by the sarlacc?
Outstanding job!

Lol, have to echo this remark.
Also...have you thought about your soft parts? Wouldn't the acid have eaten away all the soft parts? Lol...that would make for some "interesting" trooping =D
Hey people,
Yes I did get eaten by the sarlacc, haven’t we all?
NovallTalon I've been racking my brains about what damage to do to the soft parts. Belts, etc... can just be horribly acid ravished, but the vest and flight suit...? I'm somewhat stuck.
I may have to "cheat" a bit by - either - having a really tough flight suit or I'm wearing a set of loaners from Dengar ... believe it or not I'm leaning towards the latter as, realistically, he would have had to give Fett something to wear.
On that topic I'm wondering how much to weather the cod whilst still retaining Fett's pride... I'm guessing he got REAL lucky and that-whole-region got off unscathed

HMMMM. I don't know for sure. Did he have his daughter before of after the incident with the sarlacc?
