Mandalorian Reference Thread

- Start date
Repetition is one of the main themes of Star Wars. Like father, like son. Luke's appearance is very similar to Anakin. Also Luke's battle with dark droids in Mandalorian parallels Darth Vader's hallway scene in Rogue One.
They are setting up for Luke's eventual downfall, similar to Anakin's downfall in PT.

I really do wish they had given him some earth tones, the all black ROTJ look is symbolic of his arc in that film but I want to see some evolution in his costume. Maybe if he shows up in the future...
That said I’m glad at least that he isn’t wearing EXACTLY his ROTJ look like a cartoon character.

most people/pretty much every "build up a helmet" instruction I've found, points to using this thing.
I think the only exception you're going to find, is when a builder sells unfinished helmets, and make his own visor inserts that come with it. If you're really worried, you can go scope out The Dented Helmet; it's the RFP sister site that's all about mando costumes. There's a link to it under the star wars costumes section.
I'm aware of dented helmet. That visor doesn't appear to be tinted the way Mando's is. His visor has a blue-ish purple color to it.

It’s practically impossible to find out since it still looks black from the outside

Here is a cheaper link than amazon. These are “black” but they do have a slight blue tint which is correct. I’ve seen through the hero visor, there is no purple.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I couldn’t tell if that was color grading or my eyes misinterpreting, but I knew there was a hint of color in there.
I used your paint guide Mr Mold Maker. It’s super helpful. I used a different color for the triangles, because my local store didn’t have the Bermuda. I’ll repaint them at some point.

Those still look REALLY good, also Mr.MoldMaker when you say you’ve seen through the hero props visor are you referencing the Anovos helmet or the actual screen used helmet?

Glad it was of some help benhs.
Anovos is a replica. Their visor set up is weird and incorrect.
Hero helmet, meaning one of the main ones used for the show. Screen used.

The double visor?

Everything. The double visor, the purple color, the attachment. It’s all weird and incorrect. I have no idea why they did it that way.
I swear there are shots where it apprears purple.

I promise you it isn’t. If anything it is just lighting. Looking through, it’s a blue tint.

I own the Anovos helmet and the visor was definitely a strange set up. Not sure why that was done.
As a Mandalorian Merc, I can tell you that a lot of members tend to use the tinted replacement shield that was posted up. I have also used visors for motorcycle helmets, but that's only because I have had spares lying around.
