Custom Mandalorian kit with FREE TEMPLATES coming soon! Advice, tips, and criticism is appreciated.

[AxeWolves44]

working in a new custom mandalorian kit! I am using six mm eva foam, also using contact cement, hot glue, and mold able foam clay as filler. (i’m only a teenager, spackling is too hard for me). I am basing it on Axe wolves’s suit, and tips, advice and criticism would be appreciated. Thank you! I will be posting the templates i made myself for this armor soon.

Working on the chest and gauntlets. I finished the knees, shoulders, thighs, and the jet pack. I am using 6mm eva foam, with parts like the ear pieces/rangefinder and the rocket cones fo the jet pack being 3d printed. I used cardboard for the vambrace with the knife. Advice and criticism is appreciated. Free templates coming soon!

The black stuff is moldable foam clay, and I used it as a filler and to smooth some fuzzy foam edges out.

I am going to have to heat shape the chestplate to give it a curve to fit snugly onto my chest, but the main shape is there.

One suggestion - if you already have a flight suit, be sure to size the armor on top of that. Many times, people will build their armor, then get their flight suit, and see that their armor is too small.

Oh! Good idea. I want this kit to be a budget suit, (even though it looks pretty legit) so I will be using just some worn gray pants and and a long sleeve and short sleeve shirt. Thanks for the suggestion. The shirt is pretty thin, and I think it will work. I wonder if my black plasti dip will pass off as Axe Wolves’s charcoal black armor.
