  3. Yiyo's Mandalorian Incinerator Build

    in Anthology variant Incinerator and Artillery Build Threads

    I see you used the "rigid" pipes from marko's files, from the pictures of the show those pipes seem flexible though. You can see the pipes pending under the trooper's hand on this shot :

    Granted the shots are inconsistent because on the next shot he doesn't hold the zippo that far... But from what I could find in the reference shots those are flexible pipes, probably the same as the ones coming from the backpack.

     

    Also what was the process like, did you sand and paint each piece individually ? What grit ? I am a complete noob so I have tons of questions :D

    I am almost through with the 3D printing, it's pretty accurate. I assume he used the hot toy figurine for the fine details because you can't quite make out everything in the live action scene (you see quite a lot, but the finer stuff can only be guessed really).

     

    The only issue is about the "air holes" (not sure how to call them) on piece F2, I am not convinced it's a match with the movie. The figurine seems to differ from what I see on screen, but again : it's a bit hard to make out such small details, even in 2K resolution.

    Take all the advice you can from those here who have built the R1 style costumes as they have remedies for mistakes they may have made which will be hugely beneficial to you in the long run.

     

    That's what I have been doing, that's a lot to read but there is plenty of stuff I learned already

    Also be mindful there may be others working on the same costume and pushing for the same end goal of first in legion, so keep an eye on any build and discussion threads you see.

    If you are the only one, then others are sure to follow in your footsteps so make sure you have a good detailed build thread. Photos and process description will be a key element for you and others.

    Yup that's why I documented times and cost so far, so that people would know what they are getting into. I plan on documenting the materials cost as much as I can because it's often quite expensive in the end, but rarely documented :P I don't really mind being first or second, as long as my armor looks good and feels good to wear I'll be a happy camper.

     

    It just so happens that Steve gave me the incinerator virus ^^

    You can't see the picture when clicking the link ? I simply linked the page and not the picture itself to not overload the thread ^^

     

    For the CRL I was wondering how things were working, I have never done this before. My only costume is from 2004 and it's an armor FX :D :D I have checked other build threads and it seems they are all halted for now.

     

    As far as I can tell, it should be the same as a ROTK armor, plus we have the mandalorian scene as reference and the hot toys figurine that is pretty badass. Beyond that I am not aware of further references for that character.

    Another question : https://imgur.com/a/UUVaQcU

     

    I checked the episode again and I am a little confused about the pipes that link up to the front valves (below the mesh / nested part). They look like hardtubing in most scenes, and also on the hot toys figurine.

     

    But there is one clip where the trooper holds his gun (wrong, btw) by that part instead of using the grip, and the pipes don't seem to be in the same place. What do you guys think, is this supposed to be soft tubing or hardtubing ? Even then I wonder if they didn't use 2 different guns when shooting those scenes.

     

    Ideas / suggestions ?

    If you haven't 3D printed before I would suggest adding slightly thicker walls when printing, helps with strength of pieces, I find printed parts can be easily cracked.

    I will pop my cherry on 3D printing, it's a first for me. Slightly scary. But Steve is here to the rescue hopefully :)

    Again, I'll be happy to help you start this journey ;) 
    The next things to get are filler, pvc glue and sand paper (a lot of it) ^^

     

    You gotta have to make an amazon list for me lol. Sanding, I hate sand :D

    Got my boots today, they look fantastic ;) 

     

    Also updated 1st message with euro prices (once paypal has scammed me with it's USD / EUR rates :D).

     

    EDIT : After checking with @stevechewbacca (and taking my morning coffee) it seems there has been a mistake in the order, I got good old TK boots, not R1 Ones. Messaged Vincent at once to see what can be done.
