Jodo Kast Build
« on: Sep 02, 2011, 04:47 PM »
It's me, yer favorite robo-mando and I'm up to no good as usual! I've been working on this Jodo Kast project little by little as the time comes around. Jodo Kast has been one of my favorite characters for a long time, and growing up near Andy Mangles in Oregon, I was exposed to SW and his art quite often. My goal has been to actually make this as crafty as possible and not spend hundreds of dollars, but more instead use what I already have sitting around the house.

And thank you Falin. Is there even any approved Jodo's in the Mercs yet? I'd check but it's easier just to ask.

This is great work Foxx.    This is going to be one awesome Jodo.

I may be a little biased (did the same thing on my kit) of the spray blackwash it just has a nice feel to kits like this.


Also, what orange did you use?  I really like look of it, plus I been looking for a nice muted orange for a while

There are no approved Jodo's in Mercs. In fact I think there are only like 2 or 3 in the 501st worldwide. It's actually a rare costume.

Funny Mereel, Kori and I talked about this on Facebook... but, I can;t recall if you used the 501st recommended Pumpkin Orange, that we both 100% guarantee is incorrect or if he was going to be the first to try for approval with Caution Yellow, which we both felt was correct.

It's not orange though... for every one source showing "orange" I can show 1 in red and 2-3 in Caution yellow...  :P

Awesome! I knew it was rare, but not THAT rare. Leave it to me to bite off that kind of chunk...  :D :P

ANDDDDDDDDDDDD guess what... it's totally not pumpkin orange! I am half tempted to get Andy Mangles to write on a piece of paper when I see him "JODO KAST DID NOT USE PUMPKIN ORANGE!" Everywhere in that blasted comic book, it is totally safety yellow. So I met in the middle. Originally I was going to go the okay route, and even painted it that way... then me and PJ talked and well, when yer buddy the approval team lead sees it the same way as ya, it makes ya grow a larger pair and push the line. So, the colors used are... safety yellow with a dark orange misting then scorched the way I do it. Gives it alot more of a yellowish brown look to it, so more of how I'd imagine him. So in end, it may look a bit more towards the orange side, but sure as hell aint no PUMPKIN freakin ORANGE, lol.

Example-

http://www.bobafettfanclub.com/multimedia/galleries/displayimage.php?pid=54&fullsize=1

In that comic book, right before this page, Jodo then has Boba red, and earlier on has Orange. Long story short, in my belief, they ALL should be okay.

However, if the legion wants to really get into a pissing contest, our friend Kal Skirata got his final reference thanks to Jaime Snell doing this pic-


THIS picture is what I referenced heavily.

If they deny it however, I am going completely Safety Yellow  :P

 Don't mean to panic you bro but I told Andy Mangels that Joda and Boba were going to be at our booth for Portland Comic show. He's really excited to do pics. Can you be done by November 13th? ;D

Consider that an order or your roboarm will rust and fall off  :P

Yeah. Jodo is a VERY rare commodity. Reason? Well, my guess would be 1. He's not G-canon so even though it's approvable it's not a "high end" and 2. even though alot of the parts are Fett repaints there are alot of bits and pieces that are very different ie, not massed produced, ie not reaidly avaiable ie there are no paint templates ie it's a harder costume to make.

Jodo may be a punk but, he looks bitchin! I mean, if we relied on the movies alone, not the EU, Boba's track record other than "He's no good to me dead" isn't that impressive either lol.

Well I guess I kinda have to now don't I! Yeah, he'll be done by then or else I will beat myself and forever declare myself an epic fail.  :D

You said it perfect- he looks like a bad -censored-. And actually, if you look at Boba strictly from the movies, he's not AS epic as when you take all the EU goodies and such. Luckly I'm crafty and can usually scrounge things together to make stuff ie my roboarm, but I have to say Jodo has indeed been a fun challenge. And you are completely right also on the not mass produced statement. Some of Jodo's key differences you can't buy at all and must make completely from scratch.

But I never thought ever in my life I'd be standing next to one of my favorite artists dressed as Jodo. Even more of a reason for me to get him done even more soon! Honestly (and this will make some cringe) I plan on wearing Jodo more than Kibiri because it's more comfortable and practical and easier to maintain. Kibiri is like a freaking jet- for every hour of use, there is another hour of maintaining that blasted thing!  :P And now, with the "General Kibiri Foxx" edition that will be debuted here very soon, I will have prolly another 10 pounds of crap on me, lol.

Not to derail this thread any more but we do have to get a shot of Boba and Joda together with Andy. I let Andy know if we had some wire and duct tape we could recreate the cover. ;D
