Then do yourself a favor and wear the Black Series helmet;) Ive trooped in TE armor, Jango Fett armor, Aliens Colonial Marine armor, A7L Apollo Lunar suit and comfort is the key in all of them. The Mando outfit looks to be fairly comfortable from a costume standpoint but you'll always find...

Agreed....but this could work in the favor of the builder. Mandos whole outfit is kida put together at various points in time so nothing is going to match each other 100%. A slight variation would actually be more appropriate. Just my two cents.

Depends on how much work you want to put into it, but very comparable. I would venture to say possibly superior as its an industrial process and comes out near perfect.

Simply stunning, your hard work paid off. 'If I could pick gnats out of pepper' I would dull down the seam stitching with coffee/tea wash. Specifically the stitching on the undersuit and leather parts. The shoes will scuff up naturally with some wear especially where the shin armor chafes the...

Im calling this done. Weathered it with some oil paints....and finished.

I was just about to post the same thing. Sold it to a guy in Hawaii back in 2004? Hand pounded chest armor and real leather vest and custom fiberglass gauntlets that I made from scratch.

The Black series is a great little helmet to start playing with. One of the first things that needed correction was the dull looking 'chrome'. I get it, they needed a slightly weathered mass produced helmet. But in my head, Mandos helmet needed a good base to start a proper weathering and...
