Mandalorian Bounty Hunter (Sintra, Foam, & 3D Printed)

[Dire]

Alright had to modify the internals of my helmet of course I got way too carried away and did not take before and after pics so I'll reuse some pics of last year and maybe edit them and show what I did. And here are my edits.

 

[Dire]

Alright so here are the pics with the fans in the helmet.

And I decided to cut a rectangle into the faux fans to fit my battery bank.

And it fits really well and the fans work

Pretty cool to me and the helmet fits still!

Also finished assembling my jetpack, I don't have the weather to do my usual filler primer and spot putty, I either have a load of pollen, or its too cold, or its raining, but the jetpack looks awesome.

And I didn't take a pic but their is a back mount to attach the jetpack to and take to take it off for when I get lazy and wanna sit and chill!

 

[Dire]

Got some more of post empire armor pieces in

That is it for now.

 

[Dire]

I have been pretty bad about updating you guys on progress, I almost have all my current pieces spot putty'd up, and started with magnetic attachments, so far just the chest and lower abdomens have been mounted up and works flawlessly, well except the magnets on my vest keel trying to attached to each other, I should have done "alternating" magnets so that they don't attract to each other, but instead I attached them in the same direction, really annoying man

 

[Dire]

I remembered to take some pics before I left for work this morning, I'll start with the messy spot putty ones I suppose.

This one I already wet sanded the lower plate and the chest plate is 3 hour old spot putty, you might can tell the difference. And the chest wet sanded.

 

[Dire]

This is the jetpack all spot putty'd up, which took forever. I haven't sanded this yet as of this post, kinda dreading it.

 

[Dire]

This is the bracers/gauntlets all putty'd up and wet sanded, minus the greeblies that go on it, which are just spot putty'd.

Oh yeah, also have a "mando-puter" for my gauntlets, pretty cool, it flashes random mando numbers and letters, I tried to post a video of it on here, but wouldn't let me, so I took photos, really quickly, to show the result, here look.

I even managed to take a pic of what it would look like in my gauntlets, which is surprising for me.

 

[Dire]

And here is the back plate that the jetpack attaches to, which is a very solid attachment, which also has been spot putty and wet sanded.

 

[Dire]

Alright and here is a better pic of the greeblies that go on the gauntlets and my hand plates, all of which have only been spot putty'd.

 

[Dire]

I have doing alot of spot puttying and filler primering and wet sanding, and I pretty much have the pieces for the upper armor ready for it's first coat of some gloss grey, then I'll see if it needs a second coat then graphite powder time.

Here are some pics of all of the pieces ready to go, and got my shoulder pauldrons in last week, I'll post those after my progress pics.

Also very pic HEAVY....

Alright next post will be some shoulders!

 

[Dire]

Alright, so these shoulders are a work of art printed by MakerBak3d on etsy, it did take a while, almost 2 months, but they are perfect, and If I wanted to, the sigils can be interchangeable!

And the sigils are resin printed.

Pretty awesome right, also got some grav charges in last week.

Anyway, so my post- empire mando suit, I'm thinking of doing a wolf pack color scheme but instead of greys, might go with browns and tans, with some greys, in my head it looks cool, basically this color scheme, even repaint my helmet to match.

Thats my ideas for now, thanks for viewing and liking!

 

[Dire]

Aight, got the sigils primed up and then gloss dark grey to prep for the graphite coating then I will probably just leave it graphite, should look cool.

Hopefully get this all beskar'd up today if the paint isn't tacky of course, gloss paints always take a while to dry

 

[Dire]

Hey, I got them beskar'd up, and they are goddamn beautiful!

 

[Dire]

Good morning, I got the helmet sanded back down to Boba's colors and reprimed it, gloss dark grey base coat and then graphited it for the beskar finish, the usual stuff.

Here is the dark gloss grey

Then some graphite powder after letting the gloss dark grey dry for 24 hours.

Then I assembly'd just the shell of the bucket to put some paint on it accurately

Then after that, I got a clean micro fiber towel and really buffed out the graphite to a decent shine, I didn't want too shiny ao this is good enough for me, to where light touches it, it has a nice metallic sheen.

Here is an exemple of that sheen

Anyway currently filling in some seams on my range finder, missed those during my first time customizing my helmet, anyway later!

 

[Dire]

Went ahead and beskar'd the shoulder strap armor and main chest piece.

These will stay bare beskar

And the chest will probably be half bare beskar and half painted.

And wating for my magnets to come in so I can finish the attachment points on my flight suit

 

[Dire]

I noticed the chest and ab plate had alot of ripples and deformities, probably from me leaving those prints outside to dry soooo wet sanded it back to the primer and currently spot puttyin' those puppies again

 

[Dire]

Aight, the ab plate have been sanded back to to primer then re-putty'd it and wet sanded, then rinse, lather and repeat until it got the edges back again.

Of course this is beskar'd up now, but forgot to take pics. So I'll do that later today.

And just to add more posts on my thread I'll post something pretty on the next post.

 

[Dire]

Do you guys want see something sexy and NSFW, make sure to scroll all the way down, and make sure to like and follow the thread for more NSFW content.

Pretty, right?

 

[Dire]

Also spent pretty much a week sanding and puttying up my "flying phoenix" of course forgot to take progress pics, but I did managed to get a snapshot of it beskar'd up.

Also got the back plate beskar'd up but only use filler primer and wet sanded it and primed again and wet sanded until it was decently smooth, you won't really see it anyway.

Anyway next week I'll order alot of N52 magnets and other stuff, maybe foam as well to get a new belt started or might make it out of leather, dunno yet, leaning towards foam for the varying thicknesses.
