Ok everyone. I have been in contact with several of you and have read many a post here, but this is my first thread! Yes, I am finally building my Mandalorian Costume, and have decided to go with a Jango Fett open seasons Theme.

I will show you a small video of a Rubies Helmet I have been testing my paint schemes on, and my weathering skills. Here is the video and I will post more progress as it comes! :)

cool!! very nice start!! you should do a video only progression throughout your build... I dont think anyone has ever done that on here. Oh...one more thing.. Welcome to the TDH!!
 
What a great idea! I plan on sanding/priming/painting/weathering my armor today, if I have time to do all of the above...lol. And as I go, I will make some mroe videos. Thanks for the idea Vadr_h8r!
 
Awsome, and an Illinois Mando to boot!!!! Southern, or Nothern IL if I may ask? Can't wait to see your Mando mate! :)
 
Ok, so here are some videos of my painted armor. Since Krylon Paint dries so incredibly fast, I have been able to make some swift progress on my armor today. Hopefully before the day is out, I will be able to have it all weathered and be finished with at least part of my task. Thanks for watching! (oh and ignore the piece of grass on the shoulder armor, it was stuck on, but not to the paint, it came right off, lol)

Well, I've put some thought into it, and for now, I am not going to weather, or at least not yet, and not as heavily as I did my Rubies, my armor. I would like for the silver to be obvious, not dulled out. Maybe I will do some minor weathering on the edges and whatnot, but for now, I'm going to leave it as it is. I will post pics/vids as I progress.


Current Progress
-Need to find a red cape
-Need to find/make rangefinder stalk
-Awaiting response from Bradleyfett about a Jet Pack and a Cod piece
-Awaiting purchase of airsoft tactical shotgun to convert into my main gun
-Awaiting purchase of a voice amp/headset
-Awaiting arrival of knee armor from Asok
-Awaiting arrival of leather belt with pouches
-Awaiting arrival of Dickies black coveralls
-Awaiting arrival of gauntlets
-Awaiting arrival of custom Vest/Neckseal from Bobamaker (Daz is still on "Holiday" lol)
-Awaiting arrival of custom ears for my helmet from Michigan Jaster
-Am in posession of two Rubies Westar Pistols (quality of those are not quite important because they will always be holstered), Mystery Helmet, two polycarbonate face shields to turn into a visor (two in case I mess one up), a set of holsters, combat boots, chest armor, collar armor, leg armor (minus knees), butt armor, back armor, rangefinder.

PLEASE, if you can think of anything I am missing let me know. Thanks!

Yea, I live in a little town called Sandwich, we're only about an hour and a half depending on traffic, from there. My Uncle used to live in Rockford! lol nice! Maybe we'll troop together!
 
Ok, guys, if you haven't seen it yet, this is the new Clone Helmet they're selling for only 30 dollars at Wal-Mart...I know this has nothing to do with my Jango Open Seasons, but hey, I still like it lol. I dont care what anyone says, it's still cool. (At least for me who will probably never make a clone but will instead display it)

Does anyone know who to contact to get a mildly cheap jet pack? I am on somewhat of a budget and I really don't want to go over 300 dollars. I tried contacting BradleyFett on around August 4th and he still hasn't gotten back to me...so... any ideas anyone?

Thanks

 
Jet Packs are the worst things ever for people on a buget. I would suggest making one out of PVC plates, or sculpting your own parts and casting them.
 
Bradley's vac formed pack is 300 bucks. You can build one in about a day if your on a budget. Its actually easier than gauntlets, because the parts are bigger.

Go to the rocket pack forum and get the templates, and take your time.

I also suggest thick superglue and sintra and excelerator to make your day much easier.
 
Wow...lots of responses. I only worry about it not turning out well as Ive never done or even attempted something like that. I will definately look into it though. Thank you so much for responding! If anyone has any advice on making the pack out of sintra or any other material that may work better please let me know, any advice is more than what I have right now lol.

I will look into those templates too. Again thanks everyone.
