Starting my first Mando today

Ok.. today i got some work done

Put a second layer of paint on the blaster and cleaned it up a bit.

Sanded the edges like Saz suggested and it definatly cleaned it up! It turns out we dont have primer.. WHO KNEW? :lol: guess i gotta pick that up to

anyone know prices on that?
 
It is getting up there vod. The helmet is well in place and you have performed a good job on it to get it where it has been today. You know; when I started painting on my helmet I actually had to start over again because there were some paint bubbles on the back of it. I had to go to the store and buy some sand paper and sand the entire bucket down.

However, when I did get the red paint down; it looked a little odd. I wondered if it would look how I had imagined in the first place. Colors of red and black with a lot of battle damage added onto it. When I finally got the black paint on it it looked extremely well. However, I took a closer look noticing if I had put to much battle damage on the helmet. I then remembered that mandalorians see a lot of action so they are bound to get a lot of battle damage on their armor.

I still have some work to perform on the helmet. In terms of the glow stick light I am planning on using, foam for the inside of the helmet, and a visor. But I did have doubts on my bucket of wondering if it will turn out how I truly want it. So far it has; just need some of those nit picks for it is all. This is my first bucket as well and it turned out really well. As did yours. Keep it up in the long run vod.
 
LOL! Well in terms of getting primer for your helmet. I went to Wal*Mart and purchased all of my paint supplies for a total of $16.00. So around four bucks for a can depending on the kind of paint you are willing to use.
 
Try going to Home Depot, Lowes, or those Crafting stores. They may have them. I actually tried a store for a visor. Turns out they had the visor supplies but was to light of a shade. I am still searching hopping to get a visor for my helmet sometime. But overall I can't wait to see what you have for your helmet.
 
dude you defiled the Raider. Unacceptable.


Use the Recon next time, ok?

Otherwise it's pretty awesome. what did you make the flak vest of and how did you make it? I was thinking of just using a lab coat underneath but i'd like to see what it looks like with a vest,

remember the spot putty wont be as hard as bondo or resin, so if it takes a hit, it will get damaged faster. But that's exactly how I did the ears on my snow bucket ;)

I cant wait to see it finished............ No really I cant wait.......... now where is that whip? Kal you got my whip?
Click to expand...


lol no but I think we may need to get it after lev'ika! lol
 
I apologise for the late reply, but i do believe i heard my name mentioned...?

something to do with a clan name...

and don't call me Demagol. That is a lack of respect to his name.


Anyways, If you've decided on a clan name, fine, but I'd like to put in Malevol as a name.
 
hmm i like it :D and no we dont have anything yet :lol: we were going to ask you

I like Malevol, you got others? then we can go through them and pick which one we like best

I know its asking a lot but it would be awesome.. thanks in advance :)
