RBF's custom... maybe I lost it...PIC HEAVY!

This is looking very sweet RBF! I like the Reavanish look. It's going to look very dark and very much a BH. I was a bit ify about a cloak but it looks awesome mate.

EDIT, picture didn' t show up for some reason... anyways, new picture, kind of like a test run to really see how it' s coming along so far.

Hey RBF, your Mando looks amazing so far! :)

If this is going to be half as good as your Boba then it's still going to be an amazing Mando. One of the better ones out there...
 
looks sweet! Will you not have any leg armor? From your concept pic it appears that way, im just checking.Great job on the chest armor and helmet, the color scheme is sweet!
 
Thnx everyone!!!!

Thnx John!!! :) It's nice to see your compliment here on TDH!!! Thnx again!!

@Nevu: Well it's not in the concept... but who knows. If you see the concept and how the bucket turned out for example... I never intended to put the extra patters on the bucket, but it just came up and I liked it.

That goes for everything. I just really like that concept that I made years ago so I' ll keep that as my base line sort of say.

But well... Jango has leg armor, but don' t forget that appart from those 2 tiny knee pads, Boba doesn' t have any leg armor either.

I don' t know. The concept has the kama and stuff and I think that adding leg armor might make it a little busy, but who knows.
 
Nice work. It's definitely a unique, subtle twist on the usual Mandalorian helmet design. I really like the replacement you made for the customary rangefinder. Is that a functioning laser pointer or is it supposed to be something of a photoreceptor?
 
thanks! I appreciate it!!

No it's not a working laser unit.... Actually... I have no-idea... what it is supposed to be.
I know where it came from and I liked it when I stuck it on the bucket.

It's a purple toy gun that came with the Blue Master Chief Halo action figure...

Well, it works.

Made a backpack with a blaster that's attached to it with magnets, so it can be easily removed aswell.

The whole concept looks very nice. In your first post you said something about not wanting people to think you didn't have the skill to pull off a Boba and I don't think you need to worry about that at all. The ridiculous amount of skill that's going into your weathering, along with all the scratchbuilding, is very impressive. I really like your technique
 
Thanks everyone!!! It' s really nice to see so many good reactions!!!

Yup, that's the range finder of an old Rubies helmet. It's not the RF that came with this helmet however. It's from a Rubies I cut open to use for Robocop.

good catch!!! In a way it's good you didn' t catch that at first, so that means it's at least incorperated into the gun properly.

Thanks again!!! I wasn' t sure the blaster or the pack would work, but it seems they do... so far anyway... Maybe I' ll screw up big time with the paints :p
 
Well most of the paint job is on. There's some details you don' t see on the picture. The chest symbol of Boba is on it, aswell as all his jet pack symbols. It still needs a few wash layers and then it's entirly done in terms of paint. I' m thinking of adding Fett's rocket aswell... It looked cool when I put my ROTJ rocket on it.

Also, the blaster needs to be dirtied up a bit, it only has basic colors on it.
