Jodo Kast: Ashen's WIP
« on: Feb 04, 2017, 02:28 PM »
My Mandalorian love continues and I've liked this character for a very long time and now I'm building it.

The whole comic as reference, but due to him having 2 load outs, I'm going to try and only pull from the latter part of the comic in Nal Hutta

The scan is flatter in colour , but your able to see the details pretty well still.
This is my Imgur album if you would like an even bigger sample  ;D Jodo Kast Reference images album

The beginning:




















From here is where I'm trying to pull references from  ;D


















Thanks to Toolguy301's 3D template's I've been able to get allot of the parts from Shapeways and they look great.

Thought we'd start with the soft parts first and a few 3D printed bits then go from there, feedback appreciated

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************

Zip will be covered with a matching panel

Managed to get a pair of second hand pair of RotJ Boba gauntlets

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************


3D printed parts

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************

EDIT: Due to Photobucket fail I've gone through my wip restoring the finished pieces and references where possible, the transition (WIP) parts I felt were not required as they are superseded by the final piece.
Hope you still enjoy

Forgot to put up these pictures of the leather pouches I got from Delta 13 matches the flight suit so well.

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************

Had a delivery today with a few more parts from Shapeways.

Grenades

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************

Missile topper, stabilizer and beacon for Jetpack

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************

Decided to follow Toolguys example and have pipes joining up the equipment instead of strands that came from the girth belt.
I see it as the artists not being able to put different colours in before print and makes far more sense that they are pipes instead of strands.
Toolguys belt:

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************

Reference pictures

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************

So I got a good friend of mine to 3D print the part to hold the connecters and also got some flexible piping to run through everything

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************

And finally....... Pistol

Far too few JK's around. Glad to see someone taking interest. Let me know if you have questions, I helped Toolguy with his build a while back.

It's spelled "Canon", not "Cannon".

Those ear caps are things of beauty. As and when I come to do a third kit I shall be using the same supplier.
Having held these pieces in real life they are machined to perfection

I'm realizing there are allot of differences wit this build, just small and detailed.
It's definitely keeping me on my toes  :P

Little more today, will need opinions of others for this if you'd be so kind

Cloak = Which looks better?
I've gone through allot of dyes to get to these choices, I'm not sure I can find the exact one unless someone knows the exact ones.

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************

Back plate: Does this look okay for the raised sections where the harness comes out ?

*****************IMAGES REMOVED DUE TO BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET LINKS*****************

Minor addition, Left gauntlet with leveled sections beside main missile for the secondary missiles to be mounted.
Greeblies (buttons , keypad and dental floss part still to add)

Its hard to tell what the true cape color is supposed to be based on the comic art, but I'd go with that first lighter colored one. Seems closer to the artwork, and I just like the color better lol.

i think the cape colours differ slightly from panel to panel in the comic so both work. personally i prefer the darker one... think it would be more in keeping with the darker flight suit. but still you're far more savvy at this than me. can't wait to see what you decide.

Thanks for the feedback guys, but I'm thinking the lighting has distorted the colours as its looking different to in real life, I'll keep working on it :P

Last little bit for the day, knees with darts
