Gday everyone, I'm currently trying to build a kit on the mando mercs site, I'm trying for a mando protector also trying to work out how to post, tried creating album but no progress with that on mando mercs site my name is "the Unknown mando"
G'day every one, I'd forgotten I'd started a thread on here, here's a few pics of my slow progress. The bucket is an nme props standard merc, working on v2 that'll be with a twoeleven fett dentless helmet #3. When I update more pics I'll add more image early version by Fatbed posted Aug 15, 2016 at 10:59 AM image helmet as is by Fatbed posted Aug 15, 2016 at 10:56 AM image weathered plate by Fatbed posted Aug 15, 2016 at 10:59 AM image starting to weather the flight suit by Fatbed posted Aug 15, 2016 at 10:59 AM

Small update IMG_2570 by Fatbed posted Mar 11, 2018 at 11:07 PM I'd like that led to be more faint, I'll muck around with some resister or trim pot, the led pulses....I'll add a few more in there. At moment it's an idea, to indicate Comms with ship, or someone else IMG_2563 by Fatbed posted Mar 11, 2018 at 11:07 PM Laser diode, not sure whether I'll leave this in or not
Thanks mate, it's been abit slow the last few months. The weathering isn't hard to do, here's link to the mercs page, I did abit of a tutorial there. ( hope that's not breaking a rule) Unknown mando Painting / weathering approach
IMG_3129 by Fatbed posted Mar 28, 2018 at 4:28 PM Bit of work on chest plate and chest display. Got some red acrylic between chest display and plate as well. Needs cleaning up, filing edges Any suggestions on securing the acrylic and chest lights to the plate?
IMG_3132 by Fatbed posted Mar 30, 2018 at 5:22 PM Received some darts from Machinecraft replicas the other day, awesome work....sharp too. Installed and loosely fitted the whipcord housing and thing at back. Both bits need another paintjob and some work. Need to add dental files to the housing. Work on silver chunk some it can accept a hose, maybe have cables going through it Not sure on painting if black or same as the shell. I thought if I painted it black it'll looked like it was pieced together from various sets
Collected a few more bits, thermal dets from etsy, Yakut bottles for something...maybe emp grenade. Had idea of putting el tape in sonic beam weapon....needs work Image by Fatbed posted Apr 22, 2018 at 3:11 PM
