Breyo Fey - MP - WIP
« on: Oct 24, 2018, 01:27 PM »
Hi there everyone.

I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Matt (Breyo Fey), from the Manda'galaar Clan.
I recently received my OM status and am really interested in joining the Mandalorian Protectors. I feel that this brigade is a perfect combination of me being able to express myself as an individual while keeping the "traditional Fett" look with my kit.
I have read the BRLs for the MPs and I am in the process of making some adjustments to my kit as it stands in order to be in compliance.
Below are my original OM app pictures:






I do have a NME Mercenary Helmet on the way which will replace the one in the app pictures.
I have also completed a Jetpack, chest display, shin tools, "boba thong" and blaster (I'll post those pics up soon for review).
My WIP for my kit and upgrades can be found at the link below:
https://mandalorianmercs.org/forum/index.php?topic=142569.msg1807017#msg1807017

Thanks for taking the time and I'm looking forward to being part of this Brigade!

Thanks brother!

Below are a few of the process pics for the jet pack for review:

I had this NME Jet pack in the box for awhile. I wanted to save it until I got OM then break it out to start putting it together:
 








Here's a pic with it all put together:


I used a weight belt and some strapping to secure it in place, backpack style...
Small details left to do but all in all it seems to work well....

Here are a couple of pics with it on over the armor:







All feedback is welcome...

I'm hoping to post more updates soon.

Hi Breyo,

Your MP WIP is looking really good, especially that jetpack.

My concern at this moment is your helmet as it is not really a standard Fett helmet with the shape of the range finder, some of the raised portions on the helmet, and the different look to the visor.  The NME helmet you have on the way will do perfectly.  :)

Can we also get some pictures of your gloves?

Looking forward to some pictures of your weapon too!  Glad to have another MP soon!

Hi there Mi'ix!

Thanks for taking the time to reply...
Below are some progress shots of my weapon:

I got this toy from the "Bay" (couldn't afford a scale replica)


Disassembled...


Painting and filling of screw holes...






Lights!


App pic of the weapon:


I hope that it will work?

I'll post some pics of my gloves as soon as I can.

That looks like a great paint job!  I think that hasbro EE-3 can serve as a great base for a weapon, but some work still needs to be done to make it work with your kit for MP. 

As it stands, it's still very small and comes across like a toy.  I would recommend extending the stock to make the proportions to you better.  When you are holding the blaster can you get all of your fingers around the grip or do some hang off the bottom?  I also still see some holes that need filling in on the right side.

Thanks. I appreciate it.
Yeah, I wanted to make a kit with some “wear and tear”
Since this is my first jump into armor building I figure that making a beat up kit would be a good chance to learn a lot.
Also, I have to say, your WIP is fantastic! Super inspirational. You are doing a great job and I’m hoping to see us both in our kits with the MPs soon!

I think so too! I love the NME buckets.
My son has a night owl, my daughter has a Sabine, and my wife has a converted Sabine (added the Ursa Wren “horns”) all NME.
Really clean, sharp lines and easy to work with.

Woah, those are some dirtied up soft parts haha! Welcome to the Mandalorian Protector madness vod. Overall everything is looking pretty darn good. My only current thoughts on the matter are that overall your kit looks super close to Fetts so maybe tried to add some more personalized touches to it some where/some way haha super awesome progress overall though.

Fenn makes a very good point about your helmet.

I would go back and alter the shape of the damaged areas especially about the "cat scratch" on the right upper side of the visor and the "cauliflower" blemish on the killstripes.

Points taken...
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'll go back and mess with that for sure.
I'm going back and forth with adding some jaig eyes...
I'm thinking that might set it apart.

Some eyes will help, would it be too late for white cheeks?

I’ll give the eyes a try...
Never too late to try a different color :)
The painting and weathering is my favorite part of the process...

Yeeeeeees do it. Might I suggest doing the Pre-Pro "Ears" instead of the actual eyes with pupils instead? No offense to those vod that use them but they look way to "earthy" to me and the "Ears" just really give the bucket a subtle intimidating factor, specially with the bucket tilt. Grey cheeks panels under the black arches would look pretty sweet

Hi there everyone...
Happy New Year!
It's been quite awhile. I'm still working on my upgrades for my kit and had a few questions that I'm hoping you guys can chime in on.

I'm working on my weapon and would love a ROTJ EE 3 screen accurate replica but funds are tight... I'm wondering if it would be passable to make a ROTJ EE 3 inspired weapon that would include some of the iconic parts of the weapon (Ridged barrel, long butt, etc...)

Do the cheeks of my helmet need to be white? I have been going back and forth on this for awhile since it was brought up earlier in the thread...

Thanks for all of the help and I'll post some pics soon for review.
