The Mandalorian and Grogu premiered in Shanghai on May 15th.We collected all three colors of Pauldron

Hello there! It’s a pleasure to remotely greet you all. Truth to tell, I probably won’t actually be posting much. I’m mostly just here for the tutorials, but I figured, why not be polite and say hello before I begin to lurk.

Afterthought over the weekend, I went to work this morning and talked to the guy in the paint department. I had a suspicion and it was verified that there's a machine that can scan an item and give you the most accurate color... So it looks like I'm going to be bringing in some of my armor to have it scanned and I'll be able to find the correct color white... I also did research and realized how wrong that I was about acrylic paint. I thought that because it was water soluble, that it would run if it got wet... This is not so and my stupidity is showing... In fact, the more that I read about acrylic paint, the more I kind of like the idea of using it... Over the weekend, I pulled out the helmet that I haven't put together from the kit (I still have the helmet from my other build that I was going to use). I'm thinking about going ahead and slowly putting it together so that I have another backup helmet if nothing else... I may actually like this helmet more (although I have spent quite a bit of money on my first helmet to give it that special look- I ordered padding that is supposed to look like the inside of a stormtrooper helmet.). I also found the old shoulder bridge that broke... I forgot that when I was stupid enough to try to take it off, it ended up breaking into more pieces because of the adhesion- it was really stuck on there... I think that the new shoulder bridges that I bought that need to be painted might end up working out better anyways. When it was molded, it has a natural arch to it... There was some other stuff that I fiddled around and did this weekend but I can't think of what it was... I did work on my shins some more... I researched rivets... And found the extra split rivets from my other build... At least I'm staying motivated right now... Although I do feel like I'm losing steam...

Screws came for the forearm inserts. This is a test pair which isn't the best printed or sanded, will also need to be painted.

I use a suitcase to pack my armour and blaster in, the helmet goes in a separate helmet bag
