Wow, looking really good there my friend. Doing a great job on the armor. I am well impressed.
Thanks!! It means alot!!
I was messing around a bit with this idea for some time now... to my shame the idea came to me from DBZ, the Saiyen Scouters... ah well, I' m an event helper in September and this way it' ll be loads easier to communicate with everyone:

I have also bought some aquarel pencils and tested them out. Not to great, but it was fun to use some different material for a change.

holy shizzz that is nice! way to take your time with the painting and making all the details fit together well. I especially like the raised panels on the bucket. It's clearly custom without being overboard.
awesome love it
Looking good their vod. Looking really good!!!!
Thnaks people!!
I was messing around with some pics, nothing to fancy...

You know what they say, vod. Necessity is the mother of AWESOME! Fantastic work.
Youve done an excelent job of wearting without over weathering. Might I suggest in the pictures of your cape from the rear, with the backpack on, putting some exhaust darkening on the cape where the thruster packs are.
Even if its just light overspray, it will give it a bit of realism. The cape looks nice and weathered, but just funny with the pack on, as the weathering doesnt match the real world use of the pack:)
Cheers though, your armours awesome man.
thanks everyone!!
I actually thought about those scorch marks... but then Boba's cape does not have them either, and neither Boba nor Jango had 2 big scorches on their bread pieces.
I think it would look funnier with 2 marks then without, as people won't see me flying anyway it might have some use other then flying... like Boba's " rocket" which was intentionally designed as a grapple hook.. now why would you need a grapple hook for something that flies?
RBF...whoa man! I leave the site for a year or so, come back, and you're building this sick custom mando. Nice work! Your attention to detail has always been astounding.
ha ha, welcome back!! and a big thank you!!
I hope everything will look cool when I finally wear the entire thing.
Just need some gaunts and I'm all set. :)
Those are really goo, like extremely good
thank you :)
Just about finished for an upcoming event, no gauntlets yet.

That is just awesome!
If you don't mind me asking how did you do the weathering? From the pics of the chest you painted it then laid the marks on top. And I love the 3D scratches, lends to the realistic look.
Amazing Pics!!!! Even without gauntlets your Mando looks Incredible!!!! Congrats!!!
Thanks people!!
Jups it's all topical weathering, I love the control you have with a brush :)
gaunts are done, more detailed pics somewhere this week.

It' s finished, hope you enjoy!! Sorry for the big pics, but I thought you should be able to get a decent look at it:
The background was just lame... but I still liked this one:

Awesome RBF!!! That third picture is epic...:cheers

Wow guy, that is an AWESOME looking kit! Now explain why you haven't applied to Mercs yet? We need a Netherlands member. =P
That looks great!, the gauntlets really made the finishing touch! I totally dig the knife blade thing. Bad*** suit!
Blondie aka Clint would shitt bricks.
Too bad about the police incident, I heard it the day after it happened. Pretty lame...
Thanks everyone!! It means alot to see so many great reactions from eevryone!!
Well I' m a member here and of the dutch garisson (with Boba), I don' t know if I should enter more cosplay groups, I' m running to keep up with these fora :P

Any chance you'll give a detailed lesson on how you made your chest armor out of PVC piping?

Thanks again, I was able to find a movie of myself on the internet, the name is spelled wrong but ah well.. I was up on a platform just moving around a bit, atracted quite a few people with camera's :)

I had an idea that die hard costumers would probably dislike... but I think that kids might enjoy it big time :)
I found my 1999 Hasbro DRK-1 and modified it so this costume character has an annoying droid partner to accompany him through space.
