Hello Everyone,
So, this is my first post! I joined the forum a few days ago and am amazed at the creativity and love for Star Wars that I've seen. Very Awesome
I decided to build a costume not too long ago and this site has definitely been the most helpful.
Well, here it goes. I'm going to build a custom mando (I'm too big to be Boba Fett, 6' 4" 250lbs, not gonna work) and I am going to make the helmet out of metal, probably aluminum.
The issue I have is deciding which material to make the Armor out of. I am contemplating using trash can armor because it is cheap, and doesn't look that bad. But, I'm concerned that in the end it will just end up looking cheap.
My other thought is that I could try to make it out of metal, but I'm not sure how difficult making those smooth curves would be.
Any Input or advice would be great. Thanks!
