Title: Mandalorian Lower Left Leg
Post by: sprinsd on Aug 01, 2020, 03:33 PM
Why is it so hard to find the Mandalorians lower left leg armor for a costume.  I basically only see one on Etsy for $300.  Anybody else make it at a decent price?

Most people buy 3D print files and print their own. It’s much cheaper, however it does require a 3D printer.

That piece is very labor intensive which is why it’s got a hefty price tag. There is a file for the middle section of the leg if you can print it or have someone print it. For my leg I used that as a base and then glued leather on top of it. The lower section can be made my cutting strips of leather and sewing them to create the look of a pleat. The upper section is folded over leather.

It’s doable if you can get your hands on some leather :)
