Hondo Build

I loved Hondo from the Clone Wars series. His attitude, demeanor, and especially his style.
His costume changed later in the Clone Wars series. This build is for his season 4-5 appearance.
I am working on a CRL for this as well to add it to my 501st roster.


Here is the costume for Hondo A (Seasons 1-3) and Hondo B (Seasons 4-5)

I started by purchasing a mask. I didn't want a latex mask. Latex doesn't seem to last as long or hold up under as much use. I found a Etsy shop (WulwhitesWorkshop) that makes awesome masks. He is also a member here @wulwhite and has a thread in the classified section.

He made and painted a Animated Weequay and even punctured / pulled yarn for hair through. This picture is as he just painted it (still drying). It is not shiny anymore.

Once received, I started tweaking. I picked up some earrings in varying sizes and pierced Hondo's ears.

I also ordered a few gold chain necklaces and worked up magnetic clasps that would keep them on. The one that looks like a ball is the magnetic clasp.

I wanted to have as close to accurate as possible. So, I replaced the yarn with something closer. Hondo has thick strands in the show, and the closest thing is leather strips. I purchased a few spools of leather and went to work.

I also braided white and grey yarn for the left pigtail. Both pigtails have real leather strips (orange & red). I also completed them with PVC rings.

I have a pattern for the shirt on order and the fabric on hand for both the shirt and the jacket. It will be my first time sewing a full coat so I will take my time with that.

Pants are here, and boots/boot covers are being worked on by a costume maker I found since sewing full leather isn't something my sewing machine can handle.

Wow, that mask is really impressive!

Not sure if it's the same one he had in Clone Wars, but here is some reference for the blaster he uses in Rebels:
