I’ll get to the rest of it at some point, but for now I have to worry about midterms coming up. I’ll take pictures at GalaxyCon on Saturday though

Cool, as always with any build no rush

I love the Mandalorians, as a comment, some pieces can be made with trobicel or even metal, greetings

Sadly the helmet was knocked of a couch on New Year’s Eve, however I am still capable of fixing it. It’ll take a while but I hope to have it fixed as fast as possible. We still have the epoxy, spray paints, and an extra visor so I’m set for repairs. The current main issue is that I need to find the proper time to fix it.

Sorry for your loss

I’ll fix it, but for the time being it’s so painful that it’s broken-

You'll have it fixed before you know it. If you can't hide the cracks, you could make them gold like Gideon's night troopers, or add weld lined like on Rex's helmet. Incorporate the damage type of thing. It is the way.

The repairing of the helmet has begun

At least it was a clean snap, kinda weird that I like the shades of "lightish red"

Yeah I’m glad that it’s holding up good enough that I can fix it.

We have reattached the piece that was broken off, and I plan to try and figure out some kind of structural support in the future that properly holds the sides in place better. But for now, I’m focused on the fixes and the repaint.

I know Galactic Armory used a fiber glass resin to reinforce one of his Mandalorian helmets. You could also do UV resin instead. Just make sure to use proper protection!

Thanks for the ideas!

The piece that broke off is now fully reattached with 2-part epoxy resin, and I recently did some sanding to try and smooth it down, so I’ll need to do some paint touch-ups soon.
