NEW! Custom Bounty Hunter Costume

You could take colored construction paper or a colored transparent acrylic sheet and tape it inside your helm to get a feel for what a colored visor would look like. Both should be easy to find at hobby stores.
 
Well I am pretty much stuck at home until Sunday. So really can't get out to get things for my helmet anymore. On the bright side I managed to pull together sticking the ear pieces to the side of the helmet and putting the black mesh in for the visor until I can have the chance to get some visor material. In a way the mesh will help me out with knowing what to expect through seeing a visor.

I pretty much got down the idea of what I am going to be doing for Halloween with this bucket. Instead of going completely mando with this costume I am going to go through half star wars and half scaring. I am wanting this to be a suprise so photos of the costume will be up tomorrow night after taking my nephew out trick-o-treating. I am overall impressed with the work put into it all and let me tell you all that you will like the costume too when I get those photos posted up.
 
Sorry have not been online in a while; got pretty busy on my end concerning with school work and the like. But on the bright side I got a few photos of my mando helmet. But no photos of me wearing it with the unique halloween costume I had in mind with it. But I will have some photos up of what the helmet looked like during the glorious halloween time. Now that halloween is over I can focus on my armor pieces and getting them accomplished.
 
Heh, when we are young the only thing we ever do is school... I completely understand, LoL. ;)

Cant wait for pics!
 
when we're older the only thing we ever do is work! lol sorry couldn't resist... I definately know the feeling tho, we've always got somethin' else that HAS to be done... unfortunately.
 
yeah really! I think my armor will be getting a LOT of attention when I get home... I really want to get it finished.
 
Not a problem guys. I really don't mind it. It actually opens me up to ideas that I can use on my own armor aside from "WORK" and "SCHOOL". It is one of those things I guess LOL!
 
Set promises and a mando shall deliever that promise. Me I got the photos off of my phone (which is how I take my progress photos) and set them up on my myspace in my progress album. Here is my bucket and what was used to give it that look of completion for halloween.

If I may say it turned out really good. The mesh worked really well and gave me some good sight. Wore the helmet the entire night that I took my nephew out trick-o-treating and using my clone blaster as apart of it all. The glow stick light I had to tape on with painters tape because there was no way that I'd be able to glue that thing on and have it dry in time for halloween use.

When I did go out; I took a skeleton t-shirt, black pants, the belt I would be using for the armor, a cloak with a hood, a glove used for the armor, and a skeleton glove. This gave it that scare halloween look which I enjoyed. Not only that I got a few stares from crowds; some even asking me if they knew me. Wearing a helmet has its effects LOL!

But I got a lot of compliments of how well the bucket turned out after painting it. Granted there is still some more things to do but hey....I am happy with the progress.
 
Not much more to add on in terms of updates. I am still trying to come with an armor plate design for my armor. As far as I can tell everything is going well. I also know what I am going to use for my mando gauntlets. More info will come tomorrow; not much in the mood to type a whole bunch of paragraphs. LOL!
 
LOL!, that is what I meant when I said I still have some work to do on the helmet. LOL! Making it dirty and giving it that good old battle damage style to it. That will show how much my mando has been in battles.
 
I'll give away my little dirtying secret... Liquid Shoe polish.

One black, one brown, smear on wipe with tissue till you get desired effect.
 
Funny thing about that; I have some black liquid shoe pollish from my time in NJROTC when I had to shine my shoes. I was wondering if I should use it or not considering if if was a good way to give that look I want. But yeah thanks...now that I know a way to get the dirty look I can use some of the shoe pollish I have to make my helmet more dirty. Thanks!!!!
