Hello, Vode! My name is Pete and I live on the North Side of Chicago. I'm currently making my first kit under guidance from Sarlel from the Cin'Ciri Verda Clan. My Mandalorian's name is Ad'Rum Phyll. Below are pics from my WIP thus far.
from Mando Maker:

template sizing:

(I was told the chest templates may be a little large. I'll probably have a better idea after the vest comes in)


(I'm going to trim down the shoulder bell)
Helmet thus far (modifying a Rubies Boba). I know the CRLs changed but it was unclear whether this helmet was banned totally or just for use as a Boba helmet. I removed the t visor and removed the range finder. I bondo'd the dents and dings, as well as the slot for the range finder. I also fiber glassed and plasti-dipped the inside of the helmet. I'm beginning priming today.



Regarding soft parts, I picked up a color-matched dickies pant and top which I will have altered to snug up for a flight suit. My flak vest is being made according to the templates posted in the forum. I purchased a mohair girth belt that was in one of the Warmaster's videos and will be dying it this week.
I'm always looking for advice since I'm a first timer at this. Again, I'm located in Chicago and I'm building basi
