Mandalorian 70
Active Hunter
Well, the Adventure begins, decided to post a thread about my Jango Journey, also wanted to Give Respect and Gratitude where it is due. I have some stuff purchased, painted and ordered so here is my breakdown of my components:
Helmet: One from WastedFett and One from Cruzer
Gauntlets: I have a previous set 3D printed but am still entertaining other options
Blasters: Dark Energy Creations, which is leading me to sell my Cruzer helmet and keep my WF to fund this purchase.
Armor: purchased here on TDH, waiting for it to arrive.
Flightsuit: purchased here on TDH, but I have an ROTJ one made by Arkady that I might dye in case the one I purchased is not gonna accommodate my chicken wings n cerveza baby , I am working out so I don't have to change my name to Bacon Fatt
Flak Vest: will probably go with Bobamaker on this.
Gloves: Meronas, HUGE THANKS to droidbait for the link to Amazon to snag that pair of gloves, You Rock Senor
Boots: Found a pair of KC's that should work from Poshmark otherwise am keeping Crowe as an option.
Girth Belt: RichiesArmor, purchased here on TDH
Pouches: RichiesArmor, purchased here on TDH
Holsters: Cruzer
Jetpack : MOW, already here, just need to paint it.
Now, I want to say Thanks to the following for their build threads, buckethead and droidbait? You two have started a Fire, major thanks for your progress pics and vids. Keep up the Awesome work Bros!
Thanks to Cruzer for still being a valued resource with his threads archived here.
And last but not least, WastedFett, my Jango helmet was my very first major purchase from him and he and the friends he has to assist him did not disappoint. He demonstrated strong communication practices, top notch quality standards and met his time expectations. I have been a prop and costume collector since the mid 90s, was also in the 501st for 10yrs as XO and GML for my local Garrison and retired to get back to my days of old, putting stuff together for me and my friends.
I also build AK rifles and assemble ARs, so I have a set of standards in my quality of work and have the same expectation of a level of standards in the props or costumes I purchase.
Anyway, here are some pics of the helmets that I was able to assemble and paint in reasonable amount of time, will post more photos as things arrive. The first set is my helmet from Cruzer which was a Gelcoat Fiberglass kit that I Rubbed n Buffed (eh hehehe).
The next helmet is the one I got from WastedFett and it just Rocks
More to follow, Take care Friends
