What did you use to hold the el wire in place around the visor?
Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP
Post by: Z97 on Jun 23, 2015, 09:33 AM
I had to use a dremel and cut inside t part  , sort of like making a ditch  so the el wire can rest inside. some places inside where thin so i used plumbers putty to make  it  thicker  and then cut inside the thicker parts it was a b it tricky but it can be done. :)

Did you glue it into the trench?

those are some weapons! Personally I think the pistol could use to be a bit beefier, given the commando thought(that pistol is a beast!) but yours still looks great! and the lights are nifty too. That rifle tho....  :kiss:
and after seeing that gorget... dang I wanna see it all now! this is seriously gonna be a monster of a kit when its done. I am excite. *grabs popcorn*

Neck guard looks good.  I just worry about how it would effect your ability to move your head, which would effect your visability (just a safety / functionality thing, ya know?)
Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP
Post by: Z97 on Sep 24, 2015, 04:33 PM
thanks guys , the neck guard has enough space to turn my head with the bucket on , i made it sure i would be able to turn , it has at least 2 inches of room on each side so the bucket does not  hit  , i wouldnt  want to trip or have to turn side ways completely to look to the side ,  thank you for the feed back guys. :D

Post by: Naglium on Sep 25, 2015, 07:29 AM
Ok Cool!

I'm just glad you aren't going to trip and fall in your armor.  With the effort and energy you're putting into it to make it look awesome, I'd hate to see something break.

I used sintra for the top part to make the panel  and the square itself, is  foam  and then I used plumbers putty  to cover the whole thing sandded it i also glaze it with gorillia glue to give it a bit more strength to it and it's a solid piece.then a added the sintra on top and more sanding .

Super cool looking kit! I have a few questions. What modeling putty did you use for  the ear cap pieces?  Could you put the link to wear your bought your armor from?   Lastly, that thin plastic on your gauntlets.. is it plasticard? Sorry, I'm starting my own kit, but I'm making everything. Just interested in information and suppliers.

What do you use a tightening screw for?

Also, on your shoulder bells, did you add the extra layers with 1mm sintra?
Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP update page
Post by: Z97 on Oct 15, 2015, 09:38 AM
The screw is cosmetic  :) and yes 1mm sintra.

Post by: JatneDan on Oct 15, 2015, 01:45 PM
Got it. I'm not going to lie, my build is in part inspired by yours. Is it okay if I mimic a few things? Since you are making your Mando more military than mercado (seems to me) and so am I,  maybe it'll look cool if they have a few similar features?  I don't know. Let me know what you don't want me to copy.

Hey that's cool!

How'd you get it to light up like that? Just clear tubes and LEDs?

What a brilliant build! I can't rave on this enough. Great job.

The only thing I have concern over is (and mind you I am not a voting member of the APP TEAM) what looks like EVA foam set in the interior of your neck armor. I think you already touched on it being sealed up, but I just wanted to make sure that the inside is just as solid as the outside.

Phenomenal job, for sure. You very well have raised the bar for building heavy armored Mandos!
Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP update page
Post by: Z97 on Dec 01, 2015, 02:37 PM
yup i am planning to fill it up and cover it with a layer sintra   on the inside so it will look like a solid piece  what i do i use plumbers putty  and fill the gaps and cover the foam making a  a solid part then i cover it up with sintra and i fill the small edges with  gorilla glue and sand it . :)

Post by: Ralin Voth on Dec 05, 2015, 07:09 PM
Is that a kidney plate you're using for the neck? If so, you'll need to change that out. Per CRLs:

"Unmodified armor pieces from the Boba, Jango, and Legacy templates are not permitted to be used in place of other armor pieces. For example, unmodified shoulder cannot be used in the place of knees."
Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP update page
Post by: Z97 on Dec 05, 2015, 08:48 PM
It is a plate but will modify  adding plates  and greeble will update with modified part .
Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP update page
Post by: Aramys Strael on Dec 05, 2015, 09:31 PM
I'd say greeb that up or modify it more so that it isn't so recognizable as a kidney plate and I think you'd be fine. The key is the "unmodified" part of the CRL rule.

Its not the shine. If anything it is the deep black it looks like an outline.

That looks better. Still think it could use a wash of a lighter brown or something, but that might just be me.

Thats a really stunning paint job.....I'm loving that that the base layer goes to rust, and the addition of the rust water marks is just awesome. Did you layer up spray paint/masking fluid and work in with paint over the top? If not how?

yup ( layer up spray paint/masking fluid) it takes a bit of time but it looks great when you finish it ,  i also use different sponges and do  a dry rub around the edged and were i want it darker  with a few colors  black , brown, yellow  and a few light washes  and then the black wash  , also a cool trick
after the black wash dries i use  windex  to make like water  splashes on the  piece.

here is another method
i use this wax on for the parts  this one i bought at joahns fabric

the part has be very smooth  for the wax to take and apply it where you want it to show up

tape up the exposed wax

paint   the piece how many passes you like i make about 2 to 3 passes with the paint

Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP update page
Post by: Z97 on Jan 22, 2016, 07:20 PM
here is my weathering
i use a few colors watered down  then i  apply a dried  color black brown etc
after this i apply the balck wash then apply the windex , i go back and dry rub  black brown and add the small details with a thin paint brush , and use windex again with a rag to smear clean the edges.

No, he meant you posted twice in a row on this thread, but the rules also state as long as its an important update double posting is allowed, so no problem here.
Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP update page
Post by: Natan Vizsla on Jan 23, 2016, 04:12 PM
I meant that you posted twice in a row within 30 minutes. The update/progress stipulation is if no one has posted for a few days and you add more. Posting pictures of what you want to make with the preliminary mock-up and then 30 mins later posting the painted piece is considered double posting. All you needed to do was modify the mock-up post and add your finished product. Go ahead and make as many threads in different sections as you want (granted they belong in the section) but don't quickly post more than once in each thread.

The rules actually say nothing about updates being exempt. Below is the full text of rule 8:

"Please refrain from making double posts. Use the 'modify' button to fix or update a post if you were the last person to add to a discussion."

Technically there should never be double posts but we don't mind if it's been a few days since you may need some feedback and it will notify people of a new post in your thread.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but is that front portion of the neck guard made of EVA foam?
Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP update page
Post by: Z97 on Feb 09, 2016, 08:58 PM
 everything that is on the outer portion of the neck guard is sintra the inside has the foam ,the   eva foam  is cover with plumbers putty sanded and glazed with gorilla glue , to make it stronger and keep its form ,after this I covered it with anothet layer of sintra and seal the edges  with the gorilla glue.

Agreed.  My one other suggestion would be to dirty up the flightsuit a bit to match that nasty-looking (in a good way) armor.  Otherwise, freaking outstanding, vod!

Too legit to quit man! almost there!

I would agree with the previous suggestions on the flightsuit and shoulder level. Looking very good for the first test fit though! Also, I'd watch in the future for any bunching of the flightsuit sleeves, don't want to get dinged for that.

Only thing I would recommend (now that I see it) is possibly a girth belt or sash for the gap between the belt and vest.

Post by: Tyno Krast on May 05, 2016, 05:10 AM
Because you're a member of Rancor I won't be voting on your app. A couple of things you could tighten up.....

Weathering the soft parts. This has to be one of the most commonly overlooked steps. Your armor is of course bad AF! The weathering job is next level. Which makes you're April fresh soft parts stand out that much more. Weather that girth belt those spats, the web gear, ammo pouches, and while it looks like there's some grime on the flight suit add some light colored weathering to make it all pop.

I also agree with Corriban that the flight suit is a little baggy and could stand to be taken in. Or add a kama  ;D

I'd also HIGHLY suggest you add some details to the web gear. Just a few strips of armor here and there to make it look less Earthy. Kind of like the white armor plates on the web gear worn by the Heavy Gunner in TFA.

I don't think any of this will get your app kicked back but I'm sure there will be a strong suggestion to weather your soft parts before your first official invasion.

I've been out of the loop too long. You live down the road from me and I'm only now seeing this beast!
Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP update page
Post by: Z97 on May 05, 2016, 02:06 PM
thanks for the feed back everyone  i will be looking into making a kama lurking around to find some templates also the idea for the armor  like the heavy trooper is  awesome did not think of that  and also will weather those soft parts and the girth belt , as for the vest i might open them on the side and add Velcro so its snug around the chest , again thank you .

Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP update page
Post by: Malakier Vhett on May 06, 2016, 04:18 PM
One other detail (shouldn't effect approval though) I see is that the bottom of your shoulder plates look like they're supposed to sit against your upper arm, but are floating. Adding a strap to pull them to your arm would make it look a lot more finished.
Title: Re: Mandalorian commando build WIP update page
Post by: DariusBlakk on May 07, 2016, 04:33 AM
Amazing suit vod!  Only things I see are that your hands seem to disappear being in the black gloves.  Some hand plates would help bring them back.

I love the looks of your armor, and your boots are amazing.  Although the front of the boot, with that strap over it kinda looks like Croc's.  It's not really a critique, but more of a "Anyone else see Jesus in that piece of toast" moment.

OYA!

Hello everyone thanks for the feed back took a bit of a break  on my build  and i will start   addressing   the fixes on my list are the following :
1:weathering  the girthbelt and the spats
2: creation of a kama
3:white glove  armor plates
4: adding some type of armor for my visible green belts web gear
5:a better fitting flight suit
6: work on the baginess of my vest
 and i think that might do it
again thanks for the help .

this front part is made of a layer of trash bin hard platic and heated to give it the curve after this i layered cintra on top for  detailing   all this fron piece is not eva it is plastic .

6th the inside, the inside is  layered  with eva foam which has been coated with  several layers gorilla glue to give it strength  and a piece of cintra is layered on top  to give  a type of padding   the eva  is more to fill up the inside  of the piece  and then glued on top of the hard plastic pieces, not the actual armor that is visible on the outside of the build . more of a filling  material

hope this will help clarify  the build process.

Just curious, could you post the app pictures so we could see what they might have been looking at regarding the neck.  I know your looking for app team response but thought maybe a fresh set of eyes might see something, in case it takes the a while to respond.

here is when they are primed  you can see that everything out site is hard plastic parts the inside padding is the eva foam...

The updated pictures help us a lot actually. EVA is something we look for pretty closely, so when we see it in a WIP, it's bound to come up once app pics are submitted. It was hard to tell if you had the EVA covered originally on the inside, but regardless, it's gtg now. And good work with the extra weathering so far.  It's all coming together nicely.  :)

if  i get approved i would love to make  some trading cards  :) we can swap .
today i decided i needed some sort of blade weapons so i decided to make  a vibro blade  knuckle duster style.
this was the reference pic i got .

 and this was my interpretation still need to paint and weather it and make a sheath for it.

Its not the official name as far as I'm aware, its just what we called them when I played the roleplay game, but seemed to suit them  :D

267th UA is definitely be where this kit goes, it suits it to a T, maybe demolitions due to collar, but 267th either way   ;)

Aren't they officially called a "Vibroknuckler"? I remember looking into them a while back at making them before I went heavy melee

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vibroknuckler
A vibroknuckler was a weapon that was worn on an individual's fist and provided the wielder's punches with extra power. The Sayormi possessed a variant of this weapon known as the Sayormi Heartstriker.

you were correct  Hik'aari Kelborn  :)

I know it's a long shot, but any chance you remember the brand the flashlight was? Or where you got it? :)

i got the shotgun for a good price because it was broken  i was in luck it also had the extra part you can see in the pic the flash light module.

Took some time off, glad to see this kit finished and approved.  Seriously, you're up there with some of the best kits in the Club, and believe me, I don't say that often.  Outstanding work, vod!

Also, I love that modded voice box.  Super clever! :D
