This ENTIRE process took about 1.5yrs. It WOULD have originally taken 1yr, but I then decided to redo the torso, back, side straps, and boots because they were too large. There ARE some things I want to improve on the MK III, but that can be done at another time. I took this suit out for a test...

MAJOR update! So a few major things have happened since the last post: I managed to get my pieces all whethered. This REALLY made the armor look more lively and less cartoony. Another is that I implemented a new technique that a lot of Mandalorian creators do and window tinted my...

Ok, so a LITTLE bit of an update folks: First off, progress on the suite has halted due to no stores selling a specific type of sealer that I am needing for the rest of the unsprayed parts. Only way to get this sealer is online and that takes about a week to wait for. Shame. Second, life has...

Thanks, I try my best.^^ After getting this far I realized there are some things I wish I did before, some details I wish I added on, and some I just plain missed due to the pixels covering the spots up on the paper. But that all might be fixed with a MK III in the near future.^^

Here is the process so far with the holiday break.^^ So far so good. Though I've noticed some things aren't as detailed as the armor in the H4 model pic, but there's still the white lettering and the weathering to take in consideration. And that's when it turns this okay paintjob with some...

Got the shins all primed there are some areas that I still need a few coats or I simply forgot, but here's the majority of the suit ready for painting. Over the weekend I was able to apply some paint on some armor pieces. Some of it is done with fine paint, but most of it was applied with a...

V.II are ALMOST done! Just gotta do some caulking and sanding. so... about another week of work before they can be plastidipped. BUT... the overall build is done! Slimmer! Lighter! More magnetic and adjustable! Here it is compared to the V.I. Are the magnets and zipper a bit...

I 'unno I just sprayed until the can said "I'M EMPTY!!" Then proceed to YEET.

I wish SO much that was the case, but sadly I had other engagements towards another convention at that same weekend that's been in the planning stages since a year ago. ^^; If you come to Anime Milwaukee, I WILL be able to take this along.^^

Been a while, but I've been busy with a LOT of other things at the moment with some upcoming conventions, and life. But I THINK I might be able to complete this build before the end of the year. Even the end of the month if I REALLY push it. Got nearly ALL the pieces plastidipped. But here's a...

Just Plastidipped my 5-6th layer on SOME pieces. I think the added layers do them good; giving them a GREAT sense of firmness. Even my helmet was less flimsy before it's 5th layer. Gonna do some caulking opening seams and give it one last medium coat. I'll see what alcohol needs to be used to...

The helmet has been coming along perfectly. Some areas here and there are a bit warped, but what're you gonna do at this point. Foam helmets are ALWAYS the trickiest. Managed to smooth out what I could with the pieces on top with some sanding and heating... Followed by the first layer of...

I think I will implement that on mine when it’s complete. I have a habit of not using my heat gun as much as I should. Especially on thinner pieces like this.^^;

So I began working on the helmet, but didn't really post any pics, because the process was just SO fast! This is the first draft piece. And to be honest... it's not looking too hot. I mean, it looked SO promising at first. Everything was going according to the build in the pepakura and shaping...

Been a while, but I've been busy with cons and life, but now, here we are! Alright, so, first off, I added some more detail to the front torso with a woodburner and I think it turned out pretty good! After that I decided to do a full body test fit and I started to feel like Kronk: The...
