Hey guys, I just tried to post an intro, but I guess it got messed up somehow...I'll make sure to copy this one incase it doesn't go through again.

Anyways, I'm a big Boba fan, and while watching The Clone Wars series the other day I decided I wanted my own custom Mando armor.
I paused the show and took some screenshots of scenes that displayed the armor well, and then I freehanded the designs onto some sheet metal I had around the house.
Long story short the first set I made didn't turn out so great, so I redid it, the second time being more precise and actually measuring stuff.
Second set turned out a lot better I think.

Anyways, after doing the second set I realized that I should probably check online since I could probably do a much better job with help.
I found the templates for Boba's armor, and I plan on using them for the rest of the armor that I didn't already make (back, neck, groin), and perhaps use it to redo the chest pieces if I decide mine aren't good enough (very likely).

I've got a couple pictures of a shirt that I plan as using as a vest, and a jumpsuit that I plan on having under the "vest", as well as the chest pieces that I already cut out.

I'm planning on using Boba's armor template, but not doing an actual Boba build, so I'm not worried about things matching up perfectly.

I plan on posting a lot on here so you guys can see my progress and give me any advice if I need it! This is my first time doing this kinda thing, so it's all very new to me :D

Hey all! Just finished my neck piece, I'm posting from my phone, so hopefully the picture shows up.
I added an old surplus army belt as well, it seems like a good amount of my gear is gonna be military related, which I think will look kinda cool.

I'd love some feed back about what you guys think, and suggestions for improvement!

I'll probably post again tomorrow if I get the shoulder bells or groin piece done
 
Cool, another Virginian! :)
Welcome, and be sure to take a look around in the "Expanded Universe Bounty Hunters" section
of the forum. Lots of custom builds in there.

I like the look of that surplus belt with those pouches. (y)
