Thread: Silent Jedi's Mandalorian Armor WIP

  1. #1

    Default Silent Jedi's Mandalorian Armor WIP

    Well, I'm sure most of you now know of the project I'm working on...a set of Mandalorian duds with Jedi Acutriments (probibly didn't spell that right, ah well). With any decent bit of armor, first I'm making the helmet.

    Might need to stand on your head to see it....

    Yes, that's a Federation Phaser on my work bench, how else did I do the welding?

    I've got a set of coveralls coming to be the base for my main costume, and I'm going to modify a pair of Jedi boots.

    Yep, it's a skateboard helmet with shaped 28 guage steel plates epoxied and riveted with a lexon visor.

    Well, I got some setbacks in two ways....

    #1: Financial
    We just got the "Watch your Ps and Qs because they're looking to cut costs" speech at work... so for the moment, I'm on fiscal hold.

    #2: Impatience
    Let this be a lesson to everybody...DO NOT RUSH A PROJECT!!! Always calmly proceed on a project, do not make short cuts and heed all directions. It seems that I put too much stress on the visor when I started epoxying it in..and two cracks appeared in the T-Visor. Although they're in the corner of my view they're big enough to cause problems when I tint it. So...now I'm in the process of salvaging as much as I can, cutting the epoxy free of the faceplate.

    Verdict: Project on hold...

    Maybe he doesn't want to join the Mando Mercs.


    Does he?

    uh ya he is doing a mando/jedi costume he said.
    and i know you can have the sabers as trophies.
    and he said once his costume gets done that he might look into the mercs.
