Malik Verran - Mandalorian Build.

[littlebigm]

Hello guys,

This is my first costume, thoroughly enjoyed making it!
Learnt a lot from many people and would like to thank them all!

I know this kit isnt official materials that the Mandalorian Mercs require for an official membership, but either way I had tonnes of fun making it!



(My pistol is a little bit wonky in this image.)



(Armour is a little wonky in this image.)

Hope you like my costume!

Really not sure what to do for my next costume, currently im thinking about doing a Sith or Jedi, but more of an 'Old Republic' style to it with plenty of details and options for customisation.

All ideas are welcome!

Looks great kid. All you need to do to improve your suit (which I'm sure you've heard this one before from the mercs. page) is to get a tented visor, and maybe get some padding so you don't look like a bobble head. Your Gauntlets and weathering are perfect

Yeah, I actually had some visor material lying around but when it came to putting it in (Just over a week before the event) it was nowhere to be found, mesh was a quick fix at the time, also padding was a bit of an issue but is something that can be changed. Thanks!

Excellent job! I have to say though, with nothing but respect, It looks like my 10 year old wearing my racing helmet LOL It's a taaaaad too big for you Again though, NOTHING but respect as you pulled off an EXCELLENT piece that this 41 year old WISHES he could do as well. Big thumbs up!

As a member of the mandalorian mercs, i say awesome job.If you are thinking of joining you may need to tweak you kit. Best part of your build is that you had fun and learned some stuff about costume building which is always great.

actually i think you've done a great job. I gotta get my butt of the couch and submit my Bo Katan to the Mando Mercs. Best wishes with joining

Looks great man! As time goes on you will pick more and more things/ideas up from the costuming community to implement into your costume for upgrades and such, but for a first build that looks great! I always love seeing the scratch built ones because that's exactly how I started, and I like looking back and reflecting on the skills it gave me from starting at a young age.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm picking new techniques up all the time on the RPF, it really is an invaluable resource. Hopefully I'll get better by my next build and progress from there. Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you liked it!

Yeah, my kit would need tweaking if I decided to join, Im not old enough to join anyway so that's probably something to look forward to in the future!
Thanks for your feedback!

Aha, yeah the helmet was a little bit big, thanks for your feedback! Really glad you liked it!

That's an impressive first mandalorian kit. Much better then the first kits i put together.
