Greetings all. So last year I made this :
I never finished or even applied because I had to deploy however after a recent trip to Legoland there was a Star Wars event going on and my passion to re-do a Mando sky rocketed! This go around I am much more patient and methadical in the process. I wanted to start with the bucket. Once I get the bucket complete and painted then I will go from head to toe.
Rubies 2 piece "I feel that with this bucket I can really get the fun out of modding it and customizing it"
Bondo the crack after I glued the pieces together
Bondo and sanding. I think I laid down too much bondo because it took me forever to get the dome smooth again
Went hardcore and fiberglassed the inside with 3 layers of cloth. The pic doesnt show yet but I also did the cheeks.
Starting with silver. That will be my base coat.
Im going for a darker theme. looking at black and silver with a potential 3rd color but very little of it.
Before i get ahead of myself, what are some tips for weathering/damaging silver? I was thinking a different silver or a gray to maybe dull spots out.
Also, I purchased these last night (Not painted) after a few beers to get me courage
Special thanks to AprilStormProps!
And these (black in color) will be delivered friday, Ill be sure to post WIP on the coveralls when I get them to bring them up to standard.
UPDATE
Here is my flak vest. Please let me know about the sizing of it. I circled areas that seem the oddest to me. Also what should the length be? of course the girth belt will cover the lower portions of the vest but those areas i havnt sewn yet. And the pauldron spot, they pop out right now but im thinking they will fall normal when I place armor on them. Any advice helps
Thanks
