The Long Project... Mandalorian

[Pyrateknight]

I will go ahead and say that this thread will be updated as I make progress but this will be a long slow process as I want to build the armor and I have only so much free time.  But here is the start:



I am acquiring an ear cap and an aluminum ear stalk.
Right now I am thinking orange and grey and black as a color scheme.

Is that helmet painted? Or is that just the natural color of it?

Where did you get it? I have no desire to make a full Mandalorian outfit but having a helmet in my collection would be cool. I like the Star Wars trinkets that let you have some creativity (painting, customizing, etc.). That helmet you have there looks like a well made one.

You are off to a good start there, can't wait to see the rest.

I really don't know who made it.  This was Ebay.  It was missing the ear cap and the RF stalk was not what I wanted so I will upgrade that.  It is made of Sintra and that is grey primer.

Here is the sintra stalk that came with it next to the pieces of the new stalk. I plan on wiring some LEDs into it. Also the ear cap.

This is my very dusty Don Post circa around 1996... but I hear they aren't considered costume worthy anymore...

Alright so I have been breaking out my Arduino as I am thinking of a few fun internals that I might want besides the LEDs.  I do have a set of RGB LEDs so that I can program the color in case I feel like changing color scheme later on.
