Making our Daughter's Mando...WIP pics :)
« on: Aug 12, 2015, 10:03 PM »
So Big Daddy (Talyc Kyram) is building littlest spawn (8yrs old) her Mando & this conversation happened: BD: "What designs do you want Momma to make for your Mando?" Littlest Spawn: "OOOHHHHH...I want a dragon on it on for our family, & a mythosaur skull, oh and can you put diamonds on it & a bow somewhere too like my darth vader...I can totally look cute while I kill people. It will be like a trap won't it mom, they'll think I'm all cute then I can catch them & make lots of $$!!!" .....She may just end up being the most dangerous Mando out there, hehe, here are pics of her armor (to match Daddy's legacy design of course) before paint with some of our armor to show scale...It's so tiny & too stinkin' cute!

Here is her backplate & chest/ab armor with her shoulders next to my gauntlet & blaster :)

Daddy seeing how it fits his mini-me....

And here's one of her back plate on top of Daddy's backplate...

Here is how he measured and planned out her mini-sized armor...

We can live without technology—so we can fight with our bare hands. We have no species or bloodline—so we can rebuild our ranks with others who want to join us. We're more than just a people or an army, aruetii. We're a culture. We're an idea. And you can't kill ideas—but we certainly can kill you."

This is awesome! Please, please, please, more updates?  I can't wait to do this for my oldest spawn, then the middle one, then the youngest... :laugh:

Can't wait to start my son's armor. Hardest part? Color scheme. What he wants changes week-to-week. :rolleyes:

I'm lucky in that regard.  I know my girl's armor colors will be pink and purple until she's at least 8.   :laugh:

That doesn't change with age my friend, I'm very fickle when it comes to color too. I'm looking to change up mine now and I'm almost done!  :laugh: :laugh:

Awesome build:) its great working with kids free sanding labor right, don't tell her about the palm sander yet. we all would have gone nuts if our parents wanted to build Star Wars costumes right. great learning experience for them and patience building for us.

good work Dad

My Little one is 4, I'm building her a light armor set, I found the Hasbro Boba helmet can be cut down and made to work for kids really easy. I'm not putting ear caps on it yet, I'm trying to keep it really breathable and make sure she can hear well so instead of caps I'm going to add a fleece panel, or screen or something. I can't wait till she's older to make a more advanced set, great job, kit looks awesome.
