How To Make Mandalorian Armor - PART 1 (Tips, Tricks, & Purchases)

[@dynjarren5454]

Back in the day Boba got me curious about the bounty hunters, and the Mandalorians themselves. The armor and the rifle and the rocket launcher/jet pack gunfighter - all cool * I read books and comics over the years lol and the Mandalorian backstory always had me. They kinda brought all their troubles onto themselves but thats another story. They were both conquerors or they warred with someone over something else. But they could kill jedi...all of their arsenal pretty much is made to counter or disable a jedi (many on both sides died in war). Cool vid props to you 🍺👍

[@coolish6723]

Should be a good investment. I'll just make my money back of bounty hunting

Your paint job was outstanding. Looked so gritty and realistic. Great job, Dude!

[@mystellaneous9577]

This is one of the most useful tutorials I've found and all it is is just tips and purchases. This was posted 3 years ago too. Shame he never got to the gloves 'cause they looked awesome.

[@piratehacker7025]

I think you need to change the title from “ how to make” to “how to buy”

[@KingJake-om7yq]

It says “tips tricks and PURCHASES” in the title

[@nactrumofficial5450]

@@KingJake-om7yq, exactly, lol!

[@nactrumofficial5450]

Perhaps you should read the title again, as it clearly says "How To Make Mandalorian Armor - PART 1 (Tips, Tricks, & Purchases)".

Like the Truck!

[@toddwesterback9052]

Check with Eternal Armory for parts. Great gauntlets there.

[@ToyMakerprops]

Good stuff Bounty hunter

Love the video, love your armor! Very personal and relatable thumbs up bro! 👍👍🏽👍🏿👍🏻👍🏽👍👍🏿👍🏽👍🏻👍

[@Alexm2255]

Jacob Brown thanks! See my progress on instagram at alexm2255....it’s been months since I last made a video and really need to make an update video!

[@TarttelinGamer]

This is sick! Definitely going just jump onboard this!

[@BlahBlahYaga]

That’s a nice truck in your garage!

[@heaven3546]

Thank you for this video, helped a lot

[@juliannixon9734]

A good point when trying to bond two pieces together because your materials are too small(like for your cod piece) is to bond it together while flat, then do the shaping

[@Watcher97]

While I am aware this video is a year old, I would like to let everyone know that Galactic Rebel Forces, also known as "Schubiwon/Shubiwan" is a banned vendor, due to low quality and poor shaping with outrageous prices, as well as other bad practices. This person has been banned since at least 2013, and is still on the banned list. If you want to get good armor, check on the MMCC sales forum! It's free to join, and approved vendors are always the way to go.

[@thelastraider6786]

Those are called male air chuks. Their used on nail guns to run compressed air.

[@Jakki_G]

I am more into the post-imperial style but I'll use these materials

[@ThePROFESS10NAL]

Damn good paint job man

[@baddogx69]

Awesome

[@Ezri_is_real]

This video realy helped me out. I just turned 15 and I wanted to start cosplaying for a while, but I never found the Materials for a Mandalorian cosplay. Since I’m German, I’m not able to order everything you linked, but I still know the materials and all this stuff. Btw. your armor looks great!

[@Alexm2255]

Lsw Produktions thank you! If you want to see my complete armor follow me on Instagram @alexm2255

[@suddskys7482]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nV68f6pupbmqqs0 Try to make a plan how to make. This Dude only speaking of buy stuff on etsy. Useless video. I’m from Sweden. Not buying any thing exept for colors

[@7PastMidnight]

Yoo this is really cool I’m looking into making my own armor! Appreciate the knowledge, I’m from Houston Texas too!!

[@adnamafett7862]

You did a great job on your armor! I just wish you went into more detail on how to attach the armor plating to the suit under. I saw the velcro and straps, I just would appreciate a little more in that department.

[@judithlough6]

There's a ton of great info on mandalorianmercs.org!

[@jakefine7234]

So I’m building armour. I’ve already made the chest plate and fist shoulder pad. But like, once I finish the armour, how do I wear it? What do I wear under? Do I use snaps, Velcro, magnets, or do I just glue it onto whatever I’m wearing under?

[@abandonedchannel7122]

Dude this was really helpful im building a mandalorian cosplay costume his name is Russo busk his a oc nice job dude (this is the way)

[@justinecontento6110]

What did you glue did you use for 5he Kydex to Kydex and Kydex to fabric?

[@NandaRoxNUShould2]

Great video! I'm starting mine this week. My only concern is the female chest piece. Any suggestions?

[@KingJake-om7yq]

It’s probably too late, but have you tried any thermoplastics?

[@ash-tv3bu]

theoretically it should work the same as any other chestplate: cut out your template, form it to your body. if your chest is bigger you might want to make a larger template and add some darts to make sure you've got enough room to be comfortable.

[@suddskys7482]

Did you do anything yourself? On a budget!! You buy alot for "on a budget"

[@Alexm2255]

Suddsky s I did all the chest pieces, the painting, thermal detonator canister, arm guard, and wired the smoke machine in the gun ( I need to make an updated video...see my current progress on instagram (alexm2255) and I say on a budget cause of your buying, what I listed is the cheapest with good quality you can find

[@KaiserTrigger]

Well, hello fellow Houston Texan.

[@NewYears1978]

You should make another video where you show how to clean the garage :) lol

[@Ronie_Barnes]

He needs to make a video how to do these stuff

[@Ronie_Barnes]

So we can follow

[@freitagder1321]

I’m planning on making Mandalorian armor that has the legacy style but has the Jango Fett helmet and a waist cape that’s connected to the belt and blaster holster, and was thinking on doing eve foam or this kydex material but I don’t think we have a heat gun and I’m not very good at judging body dimensions , what would be the best thing to do, the style I’m going for is sort of a combo

[@nactrumofficial5450]

I've never heard of Kydex, as all the Mercs I know use Sintra. I guess it's all basically the same material, just different brand names.

[@reddoesthings6225]

Long live Mandalore

[@templex7978]

can you make a tutorial on how to print out the templates i cant figure it out

[@thalion77771]

Hey man can you do a cardboard tutorial because I’ve been looking for some but others make em horrible, also i don’t really want to waste much money for parts

[@gustavodamian431]

What's the gauge or thickness of kydex plastic?

I really need to update my channel, follow me on Instagram (alexm2255) to see my upgrades I did to my mando

[@banjobill8420]

Where did you get the back armor

[@Alexm2255]

Banjo Billy you can find him on Instagram @ wastedfett it was damaging

[@GrimmReaper138]

On a budget but spends near 500 dollars of pre made shit. 170$ for a helmet when you can make one out of eva foam for 20$

[@judithlough6]

I dont think EVA is an approved material for a helmet for the Mandalorian Mercs.

[@ladydeth999]

@@judithlough6 You are correct. No foam helmets for an approved Merc costume.

[@Foodude]

If you want quality you gotta spend some money. Honestly if you’re going to cosplay you might as well make sure you do it right

[@InfamousPlayer1]

on the links can you change the sizes for any of then

[@Alexm2255]

SpitFireHD usually the seller would provide an option for sizes. I’m 5’7 and the back piece fit on my body like a glove..also the lower armor set fit perfectly. The knees came in only one size though...is there a specific piece of armor that you had in mind?

[@kurtknispel5334]

All those starwars guns are based on ww2 weapons like the Luger pistol

[@gillbates9309]

Helmets from wasted fett were $170 back then? Nowadays its a hefty $300

[@abes9981]

Hey yeah I know right.. I'm planning on learning to make those helmets. I've done quite a few research I know what material and what paint to use etc. I'm new to it, well see how it goes I'd sell mine for 200.. but if I do end up making some. I'll give you one for free, so long as you repost and share my work.

[@gillbates9309]

As cool as that sounds I feel like im leeching off of you. I’m gonna have to decline this offer but thank you though.

[@jeffreyaguilar8028]

I should pay a smith a pile of cash to forge me a set of armor out of titanium.

[@craigv6006]

Would you be interested in selling your truck in the background? I am not far from Houston

[@ladydeth999]

Great content but please slow down your camera movements!

[@judithlough6]

Build looks good. I've been acquiring materials for a from scratch build, trying not to buy any prebuilt stuff so I can learn more about the process. Find me on the forums Druun Qarnuk.

[@Mortus_YT]

Wanna tell me how you got the paint to looked chipped on your helmet and armor

[@Alexm2255]

I used masking fluid, which you can find at any art store which is in a little bottle with white liquid...Step 1) all you have to do is paint the helmet silver (let dry)....dap some masking fluid in the pattern you want your scratches and let dry....Step 2) DONT PEEL OF MASKING FLUID YET....spray paint over the silver and masking fluid with a dark grey and once dry peel the masking fluid to reveal the silver underneath...Step 3) dap masking fluid over the silver and a little bit of the dark grey, let dry, and than spray over your final color (color you want your mando to be) let dry, then peel everything off and walaaa lol I have a video showing just that on my channel

[@Alexm2255]

Timothy Woods the masking fluid is $20 ish dollars so if your on a budget...Elmer’s glue is a cheap alternative but it’s not gonna peel off the same to give you the same effect.

Should have been how to buy from etsy

[@KingJake-om7yq]

Where’s part 2?

[@Pewpro]

Where do you get the bucket?

[@Alexm2255]

PewPro I got the bucket from @wastedfett who you can find on Instagram

[@Alexm2255]

PewPro I would suggest going on Etsy and get your bucket from there because they have good quality but cheaper which I wish I knew before...they also have different versions of the helmet too

[@sandrawarren1394]

no offence but i think making my own stuff is more fun but those look cool i guess

[@jaimeengine3612]

Awesome
