Current State of Cruzer and his molds

[MinuteFett]

Hey everyone,

As you may have noticed, Cruzer has been absent from TDH, and has been spending more of his time away from the prop community.
Cruzer and I have come to an agreement and I have now taken ownership of his molds and will be continuing his legacy. This is a fantastic opportunity for me and I will be working diligently over the next couple of weeks learning his methods and ensuring that I will be able to provide the same high quality products he has the past ten years.

I’ve obtained some of his strategies and techniques along with the names of his products and I will ensure all future jango props will still be made from high quality cold cast resin backed fiberglass.

For orders or questions, feel free to comment/message me. I’ll be adding a For Sale post to the cargo hold once I feel comfortable enough with the quality of the products.

Do you have just the jango stuff, or did you get the bo katan/nite owl molds too?

Unfortunately, someone else purchased those molds before I did, but I do plan on 3d printing/molding items for them soon.


Thanks guys!

The first casts.

These are the BKBT molds acquired from Cruzer correct? Have you purchased the helmet molds (both smooth and dented) as well?

1 thing Cruzer did when he sold his gauntlet kits and helmet kits was that he provided all the necessary nuts/bolts/screws, visor, and gauntlet greeblies (gauntlet switches, lights, plunger buttons) to assembly them. Will you continue that or should we expect to source that ourselves?

Yes I acquired everything. Just haven’t had time to cast the helmets. I of course will be selling production helmet jango molds.

I will be providing everything cruzer did and will be contacting dark side to acquire the same metal greeblies and accessories for both the helmets and gauntlets, along with looking for a source to provide metal darts for every knee purchase.
Another thing I will be doing is, purchasing metal darts and grappling hooks in bulk so that you don’t have to source anything other than glue

Awesome news MinuteFett, your building up quite the inventory and gradually becoming the Mandalorian Armorer.

 

[Captainlonestar]

Some say MinuteFett is the armoror

just started hunting down jango parts and was wondering why cruzer wasn't responding. Now I know! Good to know molds and casts are in good hands and will be continuing.

I'm ready to place an order...

I am very very NEW to all this. Is the resin lightweight?
Since you have molds, is it one-size-fits-all?
I'm guessing that we all get to customize the paint/weathering.
Sounds pretty awesome

I am interested in a full set and helmet.

Sick umbrella! Ive been trying to find a hand held one in that pattern for a while now. Only seem to come across umbrella hats or super large beach umbrellas.

MinuteFett I'm curious what types of resin layers are you currently using? I know coldcast resin is the outer layer, what else do you strengthen the cast with?

Thx.
