Hello TDH members. I am Sahirate, a member of the Mandalorian Mercs, and I thought I'd jump on over here and help any femmandos out as well as get some other feedback on what I could improve upon with my set. I'm going to start from the beginning to show everyone the process I used.
First my design/color scheme:
My templates on my duct tape dress form I made:
Vest and Gith Belt:
Neck Seal and other belt:
Armor Molded:
I can't find the pictures of when I filled in the darts. From the molding to the silver finish I filled the darts in with Epoxy putty. After that I put a fine layer of bondo over it to smooth out where the darts were. After I did this I came out with:
I added battle damage using Mustard as my masking fluid while putting on the gray and blue coloring. I used charcoal as a "darkening agent" around the damage to give it a scorched look. After my first troop I added the chain to the cod piece to give it a more feminine look and to prevent a "floating" piece of armor:
My gaunts are cheaply made but the paint job makes them look decent. I'm going to be remaking them or buying more when I get the funds to later on so for now they will suffice:
Painted with lettering:
Next post will be how I made my helmet.... TBC
