Custom Mando Warrior

[TI6815]

Hi RPF

I like the custom Mando Idea and start to build my own. First I build the Helmet. Frame and Faceplate are made with aluminium. The Dome is made from WWII US Helmet Liner.

I hope you like it


Starting with 1,5mm aluminium sheet and the cool Template from WOF but I deceide to make a new design.

Fiber Helmet Liner fits perfekt!

It seems that I had to use a lot of Bondo for the Helmet

Here is the result

The Helmet is done and now I start with the Gear and the Guns ....

Next pics will follow soon.

I really like what you did here. The fact that you made most of it from metal is impressive. Do you have any plans to weather or distress the helmet in the typical 'beat up mando' fashion? My only suggestion would be to color the rangefinder. It looks a little too plastic. Great job overall, I look forward to seeing the rest!

Thanks Zyclonis
Maybe I will make some marks on the helmet ...but I´m not sure

For the Armor I will use rubber. First I cut the Armor with MDF and then I pull it with Styryne. This will be my Mold for the Armor Parts.

The Custom Mando is soooooo cool. No Rules ! Even the EE-3 will be very special. I have no idea when I have the change to wear the costume. But this is complete from my mind. Also sidearms and knives will be a part.

Update

After some other projects I make some weapons to carry some day with the Mando.

I find the template of the great Book of Eli Machete here on the Board. Also the Shuriken that Alice use in the latest Resident Evil Movie looks cool for me.

I make the Props with MDF and brush some epoxy resin to make them stronger.

Have Fun

Love the helmet and the weapons, you definitely have some skill! Do you have previous experience working with sheet metal? Or was this your first attempt ?

Thanks! this was my first attempt with this big pices. I make a lot of aluminium E-11 Blaster. But the Helmet was new for me.

Are you going to add cheeks? The knives look awesome! What material are you going to use for your armor?

I believe he said rubber (not sure why)

It'll be good to finally see a custom Mando without the traditional nerf gun.

Yes rubber
