Ok guys, here is my Mandalorian. First off I have to give a shout out to Mr. Hemble for giving me the inspiration for this custom. Alright now for the Mando. He ended up a little bit more bulky than I had imagined, but I guess that is to be expected when using real leather for the vest. A couple of the cool features I want tell you about on this guy is that his shoulder armor can move around a lot. I put small strands of leather connecting the shoulder plates to the vest so they can move around pretty freely and don't hinder the arm movement at all. Another feature is that I used high powered little magnets to mount the jetpack! I just widened the hole in the back of the Jango armor and glued that one in and I made a hole in the jetpack and super-glued in the other magnet. My only regret is that I didn't put the jetpack magnet just a little bit deeper in there. Just FYI the hardest part of this project for me was hollowing out the Boba gauntlets. I did it so I could have poseable hands, but as it turns out I can barely move the hands because the gauntlets are so tight! And please don't beat up my Bantha Skulls. I know my freehand painting skills look like a kindergardner's. But I think a Mando with a paint brush probably would be a little sloppy...maybe. Anyways, I talk too much so I hope you guys like this Mandalorian Warrior.
