My custom Mandalore helmet

[DanakinSkywalker]

This is my first attempt at any helmet. I've been working here and there on my custom armor for awhile and I finally finished the helmet. It's a DP '97 (Only thing I could find in my price range at the time). The only thing I think I screwed up on is that the rank bars from Boba show through the silver for some reason. They weren't there when I primed, sanded, primed and even after the silver job. They only reappeared once I sealed it, weird huh? Oh well, they're not that noticeable in person. Anyway, please be nice, this was my first attempt at a helmet, I'd like to get some opinions on it.

Thanks for looking!

Oh yeah, I forgot to say what it says. It reads "JASTER". The idea I had for my custom was Jaster Mereel in his prime, before the Mandalores split.

Right on man. I like the aurebesh too. Are those decals?? Where did you get them, I was hoping to put some aurebesh on my armor here and there. Keep sending pics.

 

[DanakinSkywalker]

Actually, all the non-silver parts were hand painted with acrylics (I'm a newbie to painting, I screwed up part of my armor with masking, so I didn't want to risk the helmet). I wish they were decals, I'd add more to my armor is that were the case.

Looks very cool! It reminds me of a more weathered version of another board memebers helmet. Can't wait to see the full suit.

I love those colors. Great job

You should stop by my chat board and post your progress as well. I need more people over there. Especially custom mandalorians.

Really good job! So where is the screw up?
I like those colors also. The writing does give the helmet a unique look of its own. Nice touch.

In Kast there is truth!

Booooooo-yahhhh!!!

 

[DanakinSkywalker]

Thanks everybody! And yes, this definitely was a DP'97. It looked a whole lot worse when I got it.

 

[secol FETT]

[Star Wars Chick]

I must say, you've done well if that was originally a '97!

 

[webchief]

That is awesome! I love the aurebesh!

 

[mobius]

Nice work, don´t worry about the rank/kill marks. You can fix it next time.

 

[Bountys Hunted]

Very nice! I like the aurabesh too.

(and it does look like a more weathered version of my custom Mandalore helmet!) 'cept I have black ears...
