Mandalorian Pilot- **big pics!**

[Firespray Pilot]

WOW!!! How did I miss this! OUTSTANDING work, brother!!! This is looking amazing! Keep us posted on your progress...

I'm absolutely speechless. What honestly gets me the most is how late 70's/early 80's this look has, which a lot of custom builds don't seem to incorperate (After all, Star Wars was using parts from the 80's and before, right?). Outstanding work.

lonewolf_1183,

I was wondering if you intend to do a PDF file on the chest box (dimensions, etc.) and a schematic on the electronics; that you used. I think I found the, type, Mando uniform I want to do; for my custom Mando. Of course I will have to find my own way; as far as the helmet is concerned.

i was just wondering but are those legos you used near the edges of the visor?

Nope, Fett knee darts. When I'm doing a custom mando i always try to reuse some little detail piece from somewhere else in Star Wars costumes or props. Just more authentic to the original trilogy that way.

Here's a few pics yanked from some people of me bringing out version 1 of this at Dragon Con this past weekend:

O.O WOW! this is amaizing!if i ever get lucky aenought to make something similar to that in my entire life time i'l die a happy man

something seems to be missing from the costume. i feel like there should be more doo-dads on your gloves; and the flight suit should be more light gray like in the concept art, that would really make the whole thing stand out. but that is a BAMF suit, just a couple little things and it would really set a new bar for custom mandos.

awesome

This was so rush slapped together for dragon con. Of the 4 weeks before, 3 of them I was out of town for some of most of the week on business trips (two of them to just outside Atlanta- it was like work was torturing me! lol) I have material to do the grey flight suit, and the wires for the bossk-esque black wires to come down around the legs. It definitely will get a little overhaul when I have time and money. I was just trying to get it done in some fashion for dragon con.

BAD @$$!!

ori'kandosii! The only thing I see (from a flyer's perspective) is that the air hoses are a bit small, I'd beef 'em up a bit but other than that it looks great!

 

[Jango72]

Awesome build, from concept to final product... simply stunning!!

My only concern is the transition point between the two hose sizes at the back of the helm. I might look better to simply continue the larger diameter ribbed hose to the helm, or come up with a coupler of some sort to hide/disguise the transition point.

I also feel that it might need a black Boba style vest under the chest peice to attach the shoulder armor to. They just seem a tad odd just hanging on the flightsuit to me.

 

[kalika]

I agree with the hoses (see my earlier comment), but I think the vest looks fine, it keeps with the traditional star wars pilot appearance that we see in the movies. I also love the helmet markings. Very nice work all in all, I love it! I need to do one of these kits.

 

[Merr Sonn]

Awesome design of mando pilot !!
I want also build my own mando pilot It will be great to create Mando Pilot Squad

 

[kalika]

piotr: awesome concepts dude, but may I suggest you start a new thread vs. hijacking this one? That way we can keep track of your progress and offer constructive criticism/praise without overshadowing/underplaying the fine work of Mr LW

 

[Mandalorian Guard]

Like the helmet.

Very neat concept!

 

[modeljag]

Very nice looking armor!

 

[Fett Seven]

Hey Mandos,
Piotr's Mando pilot helmet concept look similar to a helmet that is available on the Mando Merc board. As soon an the owner emails me a photo, I'll post it here.

Nice concept.

 

[Fett Seven]

Here is a photo of the Mando helmet I mentioned earlier. I really think it offers a good base for Piotr mando pilot
