im in the process of joining the wolves of Mandalore in Central California , every step of the way i have had support while building my kit , not only from my fellow mercs but the 501st as well . I never in my life have felt so accepted , to know that my opinions and talents are of value means the world to me . i cant wait to be able to suit up and troop and help raise money for the kids , and get out there and be more of a part in this wonderful club .
Excellent stuff. Very useful information and it was cool to see a kit come together in such a short time. I've been a member of the forums for a few years and finally made some headway on my kit. Will be attending an armor party tomorrow in fact! Raquor'daan clan! Oya!
AndrewAlderaan hi, so you probably won’t respond to this but I want to get into the hobby but I don’t know if I should just make my armor at home or if I should go to and armor party and seek guidance. And I have no clue on how I would make the armor, in general I’m just not really sure what I should do. I am mainly confused on how I would add detail onto the gauntlets and make the helmet. Thanks if you do end up responding and have a nice day.
@@aydenshannon2906 Hey man! Just ask your clan brothers, tell them you don't know how to do it. There is no shame in admiting that you are out of your element. I have no clue of electronics and need help with that. Go to an armor party and ask what you should bring and what you are working on. I was confused too so I started at the lowest layer so to speak. The flight suit and vest then the armor. I hope I could help you a little bit. Don't be shy, they will gladly help you and you are going to have fun. You just have to start somewhere. :)
@Timothy Edward the same concept works for any thin plastic. Some people have used storage totes from places like walmart before. another material similar to the pvc board is to cut and flatten pvc pipe with heat into the shape you need.

Hold on so can you attend a con with your clan if your and unofficial member. Say I don’t have a few accessories done for my kit and I haven’t applied for a official membership yet. Can I still attend a con?
Su cuy'gar, I am gathering infos and materials for my armour and startet the helmet (first in paper) but I am pretty confused about everything else. Should I continue doing random try and error or find a armour party to save my project? Where can I find one? ... I can't even find my clan on the website ^^' I am from Austria. Would be cool if anyone would response. Awesome Video by the way
The closest clan to you is Jai'galaar Clan in Germany. You can also use the following tutorial to help you scratch-build your helmet: czcams.com/video/x-nqrItUI1s/video.html
is there any alternative to pvc foam ? cause its very rare in my country and even if someone actually sold one it would be like 80$ or more for the 5mm ones... and i looked it up at ebay its only 5$ but the shipment is 75$....
+Timothy Edward You could use metal, but thats expensive, I suggest you look on the internet and possibly over-sees for cheaper building materials, but the further away from the building materials and templates you go, it just makes you look a background extra
+Noble1200 Crusader armor is an ancient form of Mandalorian armor. It went out of use around 1050BBY according to the "Legends" resource "Bounty Hunter Code: From the Files of Boba Fett". The modern era of Mandalorian armor is known unofficially as "SuperCommando" armor.

I'm super excited to begin creating my armour.

I love this! I make my own armor as well, But unfortunately i'm not old enough to join! ): hopefully the mercs will still be around when I turn 18!!!!
I feel you, it especially burns since I'm so close to 18. I guess I'll just go rogue for now.
Get your name around and get known in the forums. You can still be part of the community if you're under 18.
i love Mandalorians 😄 nice Video 👍

My advice is to get in touch with your local Mandalorian Mercs clan and head to a local armor party. WWW.MANDALORIANMERCS.ORG
Thank you

You can go to cons but not as an official member

@@MandalorianMercsCC thank you ^^
Please be gentle when I apply! !! 💖💖💖
Please show the link to your website.
+Raymound Gunn It's in the description.

+Timothy Edward You can use bucket plastic (also called Kydex) to make the plates. It will require more heat as it is more dense than PVC foam board.

The Mandalorean amor is actually called crusader armor and is the most advanced armor in the Star Wars Galaxy.
+Noble1200 Crusader armor is an ancient form of Mandalorian armor. It went out of use around 1050BBY according to the "Legends" resource "Bounty Hunter Code: From the Files of Boba Fett". The modern era of Mandalorian armor is known unofficially as "SuperCommando" armor.
This is not accurate...
