Starting my first Mando today

I then taped them together (i messed up on the cheek guards they ended up being to long. If anyone can tell me what i did wrong that would be great!)

It is currently drawn to about the chest. When i start adding in more details i will finish the rest of it.

ya for the cheekbones they will have to be bent a little bit to give the right indentation for the helmet so they won't be too long.
 
Does anyone have any ideas for an emblem that i can use on my mando. (Im planning it all out and drawing it on my mando sketch.)

well are you using card stock (110lb paper)?

you should be using glue not tape. tape has a tendency to do weird things when it comes in contact with resin.

the logo design is up to you. do something local, or merge several pre existing logos. bobas was specific to him. so make some thing specific to you, like a family crest but not as ornate. use a square, triangle or circle as the basic field and add a few smaller gif or pics in it.
 
O im not making my mando out of it
Im just cutting out the templates and taping them together to see how it will look when i cut out my pieces.

And i will start working on that logo
 
Ive considered using Sintra PVC Foam Board for my armor. can anyone tell me if this is a good or bad idea.

Thanks

well i use sintra for other things, but its not very sturdy, but it depends on the thickness. id go with thicker. use ABS when you can its stronger in the end.

however youll have to use a heat gun to warp/melt the plastic into proper form. this is why i think metal is easier to work with. also cheaper
 
Well i don't think im going to use it for anything rough so im cosidering Antmans way CARDBOARD. Im really liking that idea since i don't have too much money to work with.

I am finishing the drawing right now, and browsing other threads. Any other tips anyone could give me that would keep me from making stupid mistakes would be awesome.

I expect to start my helmet in at least a week (Taking my time so i get everything i need for my helmet)



Thanks

Levi
