Hello all-
First and foremost I want to thank all of you that have guided me thus far and those continue to create and inspire. I wouldn't be any where near where I'm at now, had I not stumbled across this site.
On to the project: I made a Halloween costume a few years back to go with my Clone Trooper helmet I bought. I had a lot of fun making the costume, even though it looked terrible by TDH standards. My goal is to someday work up to the level of making a true to movie Fett suit (probably ESB). This project is a custom Mandalorian suit inspired by the Republic Commando books. I kind of imagined a Clone Trooper going rogue and becoming a bounty hunter.
For my practice run, I purchased two helmets: a normal men's batting helmet and a girls softball helmet (complete with ponytail extension). I bought them both at a used sporting goods store for about $10 a piece. I cut the brim/face mask off of the softball helmet, which already kind of looks like Lando's mask from ROTJ. Here is what I have done so far. I apologize in advance for my lack of photos from the earlier stages. I'll do better next go around.
Thanks for all the support.
