New Hunter
Greetings!
My names Mike and I just figured I'd get this cheesy intro out of the way. To start off im 27. Have always been a big fan of the mandalorians. I actually used to have an account on here around 11 years ago and had sense left my armor making days behind me. But as obvious as it would seem to happen, the new movie/movies have brought on a new spark to continue my once treasured dream of one day owning my own set of custom hunter armor. Anyways. I had dug out my original bucket to discover the state of it (at the bottom of a closet full of junk) was that of a crushed beer can. So I spent the next day or so slow roasting it over a lava lamp bulb (slow being the prefered nomenclature) and plastic smithing it back into shape. I managed to get it close enough to mock up the visor and produce these two good pictures it's ever had in its 11yo paint job and all its hacked up glory:

Only to be horrified moments later. When my impatience got the better of me. And the lack of heat to which contributed to this fateful act of stupid:

Yup...SO. I'm left basically at square one (having lost all of the chest pieces I had aquired long ago and now rendered my bucket useless aside from a practice paint canvas). The T visor is of nice quality though and luckily i hadnt lost it as well. But I haven't given up hope. It just made me want to get back on this board and do it up right. The second I cracked the dome piece, I immediately thought of you guys. So hopefully you'll see more from me and more progress as I try to continue something Ive wanted to complete for a long time. Anyways, thanks if you've made it this far in my intro. And I can't wait to meet everyone.
Thanks again.
