Starting my first Mando today

[Ordeyn]

What was that? A wring wraith? Coolio if it was. I'm in the process of reading LotR. Those would make sweet gaunts.

 

[Alpha 02]

Ya it is a wring wraith Great books and also great movies

 

[Alpha 02]

I taped the cutout of the visor to my bucket and realized THERE IS A MANDO HELMET IN THE BUCKET OF BONDO!!

I did a bit of work on the cheeks but i ran out of spot puddy in the middle of it so i gotta go get some more

 

[kalika]

[Alpha 02]

It looks good i think

 

[kalika]

[Skupilkinson]

You're getting there bro.

I like the material used for the neckseal.

 

[Ordeyn]

Nice work Alpha! Keep it up.

 

[Commander720]

In the long run there will be satisfication when that bucket is complete. All the hard work will pay off in the long run when you are finished up with it!!!!

 

[Alpha 02]

thanks everyone

i got some bad news turns out it supposed to snow tomorrow... and its probably going to stay :/

So im going to try and clean out a place in the barn to work (trying my hardest to finish this before christmas)

 

[Aden Kyramud]

[adonian]

come on, build those muscles, get a lil grease on that bucket, elbow grease that is

 

[Alpha 02]

haha i will ill take it to the gym with me

 

[Alpha 02]

Thought id post what things i need to get so you guys have an idea where im at...

Spot puddy

Good paints (could anybody suggest a good brand?)

That liquid marking stuff for battle damage

another garbage can to make leg armor (C1RCA is generiously giving me his bought armor)

flightsuit

and theres probably a ton of things i forgot but i need those too

 

[kalika]

Krylon for the paint... Carhart tan coveralls for the flightsuit (not the winter kind)

 

[Alpha 02]

The stuff i got was Krylon... pictures are somewhere up this thread C1RCA told me it wasnt good stuff and should get something else

 

[adonian]

krylon is perfect for the plastic trash can armor, you can rough it up and then use automotive paint if you want, but its gonna get damaged anyway, so why not use the krylon.

 

[Alpha 02]

ok ill stick with my 5 dollar krylon paint saves me money!

 

[Alpha 02]

Wish there was something to bring in some cash to busy to get a job right now

 

[kalika]

yeah the Krylon is great stuff. All of my armor paint is Krylon, I think it looks alright. I need to work on my battle damage but that's a different story.
