Droidbait's Jango Build

[ShortFuse]

Small update, still havent received my armor. Kind of losing interest in this build.

But I did sprayed some primer on the pack to see what I need to fix.

Sometimes its good to take some time off and do other things. Too many consecutive days of a build can be daunting and turn into a chore instead of a relaxing hobby.

Mhm, I need to learn to take a break and leave it alone.

It’s looking great though! Keep at it. You’ve been straight hammering! Rock on!

Thanks Cap! Hanging in there with this build. I hope all is well!

Sanded the excess bondo. And primed it to see where I need to fix stuff. It's taking shape! Dang Reek damaged my pack haha.

Havent worked on my jango. Been busy with work.
But I did get my fabric to make a jango poncho. I also stretched pairs of gloves that I have for jango. I havent cut the straps from the gloves yet.
Oh forgot I need to dye the fabric also.

Where are the gloves from? They look like woman’s gloves. Is that what they used in the movie?
And that poncho looks cool, can’t wait to see it completed

Merona navy leather gloves. Its really hard to find navy gloves in men sizes. I found these on ebay. And yes these are womans extra large gloves.

Merona Navy gloves for women are some of the most common used for Jango.
I don't believe I've ever seen any for men. Fownes Brothers on Amazon are also pretty common.

I have never seen navy blue gloves for men. And I look every week.

You dont want to use Mens gloves anyways for Jango. A lot of the time the mens gloves have stitching on the back of the hand that is not accurate to the costume.

For example:

Womens gloves from the recommended brands (merona, fownes brothers, etc) do not have this stitching.

Except most of them come with straps.
And yeah I have seen that.

The Fownes Brother gloves I ordered were perfect. Only think I did was order it 1 size smaller than my hands and then I removed the cashmere liner from the inside. Had a nice snug fit and long enough that I don't ever worry about them coming untucked from under my gauntlet.

Picture these in Navy Blue and not Black

Added bonus is that they are cellphone friendly gloves so I can work a touchscreen with them on.

Good point on the stitching Kdogg, I forgot about that!
I've got big hands, so I have to get the XLs to fit...

Can you still get these? Amazon is always out of the navy. At least every time I check. They're also a bit dark for my liking. I'll stick to the ones that I have. I try to get 2 or three of each thing.

Not sure what size you're looking for, but they have them in 8XL. They're out of the other sizes...

Yikes that's way to big for my small hands.

My old semi inaccurate blasters compared to the Dark Energy Creations blaster. Cant wait to get the other one. I'll use the other blasters for my Clone Wars Boba build whenever I get to it.

Grappling hook almost done. A few more things DiscountBeef is modeling for me.
