Looking good Jennari!

Thanks, Droidbait.

Can't wait to see more!

More (minor) progress!

Got the kneecap areas put together, the back plate fully shaped, and both it and the cod have been primer'd.

Also finally sent my jet pack and guns away to my friend, so now I just wait for him to work his magic on them.

Also, my dad and I did a very ROUGH suit up with the vest and torso plates to get an assessment of them. Any feedback (that isn't about the positioning of the plates) is helpful. Thanks!

Looking good! Seeing these pics makes me more excited to work on mine. Armor looks awesome! The sizing looks good.

 

[Jennari]

Thanks again, Droidbait. And are you making general Mando armor or a Jango?

I'm doing a Kamino and Arena Jango.

Nice!

So, latest updates...

I fixed the collar plate with sintra, bondo, and sistering with credit card pieces. Naturally, it's not done yet, but it's on its way to being better.

I added the cuttout along the bottom of the backplate, though the sides still need to be trimmed.

Got a new chest diamond.

And I got farther along on the knees. That last pic is everything that still needs to be done on them (e.g. dart boxes, upper edge, etc.)

And, as usual my friend Ori'kad is hard at work on everything else.

 

[droidbait]

Heck yeah what a update Jennari! Looking good so far.

 

[Jennari]

Aw, thanks, Droidbait. And as bad as it is, at least with Celebration cancelled I don't have a deadline anymore. Though I still plan to work on everything as diligently and often as I have since it's something positive to focus on.

Same, I wanted to finish my Jango for Celebration. Looks like I have plenty of time now! Do you need some darts? I am almost done with my models. Then I will need to scale them to gauntlets and get proper size. Just need to print my whipcord. I'll be making all the darts for the gauntlets including the saberdart and grappling hook.

They wont be done till maybe August or so. Saving up for a resin printer to do prototypes.

 

[Jennari]

All I need are the grappling hook and saberdart. I have everything else I need. Thank you? And are you sure?

Minor progress worth sharing:

Rub'n Buff!

Finished priming the back plate, so it was finally time to try rub'n buffing. Two friends who are experts at it, and one of which is an approved Jango, said it looks great, but we'll see...

First coat:

Second coat:

So, any issues?

Looking pretty sweet!
