Fractal-Fett's custom Mando

[Fractal Fett]

O.K. So I decided to build a new costume for Comic-con, I started this 2 days ago, and this is what I have so far.

Please be gentle!!!

More updates tomorrow.

I do final paintjob and add some stuff with a final fitting before con.

I agree with the toothed edges, that looks awesome. Keep us up on this... I'mm subscribing to this one.

It's actually a scratchbuild helmet.

I have a million little things on my costume to finish, butI will be wearing it to con.

I am helping with the trivia at 2-3 on sunday, so come!!!!!

It should be awesome.

 

[Deuce]

Man, that's a lot of work! You should do a tutorial or something.

 

[SaberMaker]

You obviously have way too much time on your hands; can I borrow some?

Seriously though man that's really sweet! I love the blasters and the paint job. Kandosi!

 

[Fractal Fett]

Thx guys!!!

I went to Con and need to work out some bugs. More velcro, more glue, a few extra straps and...... PRESTO!!!!! Ready for Con on Friday.

Didn't wear my helmet as I am retiring it.

Guess what!!!!! I got interviewed by entertainment weekly and figures.com as well as a Japanese magazine!!!

I'll post a link to the story when it comes out.

I added to much padding to my bucket, and I had just fiberglassed it, so that was the only time I wore it that evening.

Sweet. congrats man.

 

[Fractal Fett]

Thanks bro!!! I am winding out of custom mando for the time being, all I have left to do is build a helmetand make a mold of it, so I can make one whenever I want. Other than that, my next project is either a fullsize scout bile, or a skiff that works. (kinda)
