Yep, lots of us use Nerf blasters of one variety or another. I'm still not sure what PM designation my Nerf blaster falls under with the flechette missile launcher beneath the barrel. It's still unfinished as I have some weathering and detailing to do yet, so don't judge the paint too harshly. Oh, and the pinkish colors aren't on the blaster. I loaned out my camera equipment and enough said...:facepalm I'll get some better pics once I get it done. I also have a Nerf CS-6 which I've just about finished chopping it apart so it doesn't look exactly like all the others folks. So there are definitely more of us that are using the Nerfs and some have become really cool props. I've made about a half dozen pairs of these blasters-I don't know what to do with them all!
I can't wait to see Cylrul's progress on his Nerf to see what he has in mind for it. Once it's done you'll be a fellow Nerf Herder!

Armor is looking pretty good so far.
Some of us use nerf blasters. Here is a thumbnail pic. PM-30 blaster is mine.

First and foremost with a resin helmet (or anything else made of similar material) is do not drop it... As far as customizing your bucket, I'd recommend (if I haven't already) buying the past few issues of Knights of the Old Republic comics. They show several pages full of ancient Mandalorians. If you look closely you'll notice that they're armor is vaguely similar but it seems that most Mandalorians from past to the future can have radically different armor. So that's set me thinking about how "custom" my custom really is...It seems that many of us have created a "custom" that's essentially Boba although the armor is colored differently...Sorry to rant a bit, I thought it might be helpful to remind us that the Mandalorian spirit tends to breed Individualism. Hopefully some of my ideas may live up to that spirit and prove to be original...

well i just need some ideas on where to paint the blue and black, i dont want anything that wont look good
Make the main color black, otherwise the blue will just look out of place with your current color scheme.
There are alot more variations, those just what I think seem to go with the current color scheme you have.
As for customization, if you read about the Neo-Crusaders and the Mandalorian Supercommandos, those two Mando sects seems to have a semi uniform approch to there armor. Although they could customize them, the Supercommando's armor all seemd to be the same or reminicent of each other, at least in the chest area. FYI, the Boba and Jango armor are both Supercommando armor types.
And just wandering, are you gearing this towards a specific type of Mando? A sniper, infantry, spec ops, ect? Just curious

they arent great, i would just buy some sintra, mold it, and glue on a rocket, because that is what he does.
My gauntlets I like, but they werent worth the money at all.
And no more progress, i am waiting til it is done
