Time to pass this information over to you vod. Plastic toys such as that blaster you are using go to Wal*Mart or a store and buy yourself Krylon Fusion spray paint. That is the stuff you want to use when painting the plastic stuff of your armor. You may want to try a smooth surface on top of the cardboard...like cereal boxs. I am going to be using rubber cement as an adhesive to keep the cereal and the thick cardboard box's of mine together. I'll also be using the same rubber cement to keep the armor from bending with my form. There is a possibility that I will have to make my own vest. But we will see when that time comes. You are doing well with your costume vod. Good job!!!!

Thats good to know. Getting the stuff that you are using for armor out of the way first then focusing more on the stuff that is harder. That's exactly what I am doing.

Not a problem; that's what we are here for. To help and give you the support you need to make a great looking suit of armor. There are a couple of other sites that can help you out in your quest of making mando armor. Try www.thedentedhelmet.com. Those are people who work with Boba Fett, Jango Fett, Zam Wessel, and Custom Mandalorian Costumes. I'm sure you can get some support from them as well.

Just for you guys to know. I just wrote a prologue og the fanfilm I'm making, this costume is Ronok's new life. This costume is basically in all the fims. Then goes into his tunic and robe. And you meet a whole new kind of Jedi... Let the Sith be warned.

Here is the modified version of the chest piece. I didn't like the other one...Too plain. Here are my hands pieces, I was meaning to post these sooner but here they are. And my piece that fits just under the chest piece. Not quite finished but close.

Sweet! My brother is getting the paint and he'll wait until I get there after school today. Then I'll start painting.
After the painting is done. All I have to do is attach it to my clothing....

I'm using my orange blaster that I'm painting, but no helmet, I have a bandage that goes over my right eye. I also have face putty, so I can mold my scars and injuries.
