Jakar Jasra WIP
« on: Sep 20, 2014, 05:10 PM »
Hello everyone this is my first WIP, thanks to my vode such as Kris Jasra, Kitala Enby, Reyn Vok'chi, Paul Vardabob, Ken, Kyle and a few others for the advice and support really appreciate it :D

I started off brainstorming with a few ideas on colours and what type I was going to be, settled on a heavily armored Mando as I am roughly 6'4 and only 16 :P



Once I got my base idea done I started on the basics, first thanks to Paul Vardabob for providing me with a boiler suit really appreciate it man :D Dyes it black, bought some boots with no laces and some leather flight gloves to start everything off.
Also with some help from my parents built a flak jacket.









Also as I was doing a few exams I wanted to do something to keep my mind occupied other than video games and revision so I built my very first blaster hope you like it :) Cobbled it together from a broken P228 pistol, a piece of PVC pipe,
plumbing nozzle, 3mm sintra, plastic curtain rod covers, plastic parts and other various pieces.



So first to start off the armour I traced out the paper templates, cut them out and applied them to my flak jacket for the right sizes and placements. Thanks to Kit for helping me sort out the back.






Armour

I started to trace out onto sintra and cut it out, sanded the edges down to smooth them out a bit.





After that I started with the collar piece and heated it up to form properly, fit it into place and folded it slightly until it was at the right angles.



This is how far I have gone, tomorrow I will heat up the rest and form them, very excited to do this :D also I will update this WIP as much as I can when I have spare time.

Please comment and share any advice it will all be appreciated :)

Jake

P.S These images are now just pictures I had taken at the LFCC in London my first Comic Con, was a long journey but worth every minute to meet you guys :D Also got to meet Chewbacca which is not a usual thing to happen :P



Also thanks to Paul who was at the con helping me with the helmet sizes, otherwise this pic would not be as cool looking and the blaster again thanks to Kit :D



Hey everyone got a big update on what I have been up to :D
The back plates, collar plate and shoulder plates have had a coat of grey undercoat for the paints


After this I gave them all a even coat of silver. ( Sorry I do not have a pic of the back plate in silver as I was already giving it the other coats of paint )





And now this is where the fun begins :)

Sprayed my beige coat and did a secret technique on my armour, the shoulder bells came out like this







Then I added the red stripes :)











I then applied this to the other pieces and here is the result :)



So so pleased with it :D Will continue it as soon as possible.

Hey again got even more progress to show :)



Chest pieces are done so so happy :D

Went to the Cardiff Con and got a pic of my current set up



The thigh plates are being modified to stay up better, helmet and gaunts are still coming  but still excited :)

Update: My new grenade prototype :D The TFG-M1 or the Timed Fragmentation Grenade Mark 1 :D

Helmet update !! :D Ok so the visor has now been cut, blemishes and air bubbles sanded and filled with putty. Working now on adding custom details to the helmet, a lot of work that I am so excited for :)
Some general pics of the helmet.
"Dead or alive your coming with me :P"


Pic of the back detail I am working on :)


Some close ups :D


Masked for safety.


A very big update now :) Sprayed my helmet silver then with a dusting of beige.


After that I peppered the flour over the wet spray paint for the weathering effect :)


Then the red was applied onto the edges of the visor and edges of the ear caps.




This was the best bit, I applied the red chevrons to the top of the helmet to match with the rest of my kit and added black to the cheeks and the back of the helmet. So pleased with the result :D :D :D






And with a bit of help I modified the back vent for some difference :)



Went to the Cardiff Comic Con with my vode, first ever real troop and I loved every minute :D
I even got to sit in the Emperor's throne :D


Here is a different one with my vode at my sides :)

Looks good, the chevrons could have easily looked way to busy, but you did a fantastic job on them and they look great. It kind of gives me A New Hope rebel pilot helmet vibe for some reason.

I got the same vibes, due to the color and weathering. The beige/off-white and make it look like it just came off set.

Update !!! :D

Ok so I have been working on my blaster but I have been a little stumped.
Got a hacked up body of a M-40 bbgun but I am struggling for choice on two blaster barrel choices, need Mandalorian dakka advisors :D

The first barrel is a short stubby barrel with vent holes and a end cap



The second (and one of my Mandalorian friends prefer this one) is the long barrel made from a compressor hose rod.



Size comparison for stubby barrel



Size comparison for long barrel.



Thanks for reading :D
