My Armor!

Trash Cans are pretty good, but why not use a material like Styrene or Sintra? It's so much easier to cut, it will actually glue, and is so much easier to form.

Also, I don't know if you noticed or not, but the picture you used above to show your Mando colour scheme is of a Jango Fett, but you are cutting Boba Fett armour. I don't know if you noticed or not.

Good luck though!

Well I don't know where to get hold of Sintra, and the trash can solution sounded easy enough lol

And no, this is Jango armor. I used Wizards Jango template.
 
Well since you are a Chiss, are you like 4 ft. tall?
Are you gonna paint yourself blue under the armor?

Uhhh... To question one: Noo... The average height of a Chiss acording to Wookieepedia is 1.7 meters. That is 5'7"... I am 5'9".

And question 2: Not my full body of course, but probably my face. This question was already covered here, too.

Well I didnt read that you asnwered that coloring question, so deal with it.
 
:facepalm

Crixler, this idea sounds awesome bro. I like the idea of pulling off the helmet and showing an alien face instead of a human one. Keep the progress coming!


Then he would also need some crazy awesome make-up, which isnt too hard to find...I dont think, who knows.

A chiss isnt really too alien like though, it like a human, with blue....like a blue man, just not shiny, and with better make-up.

You wouldnt want to buy cheap make-up/face paint, just because if it gets too hot in the helmet, it could drip/melt off, or it could rub off easily, so I suggest finding out what most of the Darth Mauls use, and then trying to find the color you are looking for.
 
It's a cool idea, but I would save the make-up and effects for photo shoots and stuff like that. I'd think that sweating under your helmet would make it really uncomfortable and dripping blue all over the place and I know that it would drive me nuts. :p

So for in-character photos of your mando you'd need the powdery blue skin, pure red eyes, and black hair. If you can't get full red contacts you could always touch the them up on your PC. :)
 
Thanks for bringing tht up, Clay and Kyram. I hadn't really thought of that lol

The only way the make-up would melt off, is if you got really cheap make-up, or bought acrylic paint and slathered it all over your face.

Those Darth Mauls spend tons of hours in costume, and their make-up doesnt come off.

Being in a helmet is another thing though, but you could also just have the fans inside of the bucket cool you off, and prevent the melting.
 
Ok, sorry for no updates for a while, but now I have my chest, abdomen, collar, shoulders, and cod cut out. They all need more work, still, though XD
 
And a month and a day since the last post, I finally upload progress pics that happened about a month and a day ago!

Thats looking good man!

As for the contacts, I'm sure you really want to deal with those if you don't already wear them. I wear hard contacts, you would be wearing soft, but I really don't like them.

But I love the concept. The blue would look awesome. It might work to just paint your face and not wear a helmet sometimes or something like that. For the blue hands, I would recommend wearing latex blue gloves. The Blue Man Group does that and you can hardly tell. :)
 
If your looking into face makeup Crix, you need to get Ben Nye makeup as it is the theater standard. Best stuff you can get honestly =D

Nice idea on the gloves to Kashyyyk4ABY.
