Good Day Everyone,
As the title suggests, I intent to blend my love of Star Wars with my hobby of airsofting. While I understand many things seen on the screen don't always translate to reality, I am none less committed to seeing this through. I will go airsofting as a mandalorian.... one day
My plan is to construct the most durable set of armor (but not metal because I just don't have the skills for metal working at this time and it would be too heavy). Thus, the goal would to be able to go airsofting in the uniform, and then with slight modification I would be able to troop with it.
I have the helmet just about ready for paint. It's a Jango Fett bucket from April Storm Props. I've lined it with padding and installed the visor. I might add a chin strap. I'll be making a steel mesh t-visor that I can go airsofting in so it won't fog up. This way I can swap lenses depending on the situation.
My main questions are the durability of certain material and securing the pieces in place. I'll be going with a standard boba/jango style chest and back pieces, gauntlets, and shin/knee plates. I figured plastic from several home depot buckets would be enough for some of the smaller pieces.
This will be my first attempt at creating an actual outfit, so any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
