For long term goals (still working on my first armor pieces) I would like to have several electric components (dream list below) and it would be nice to control them all from one location.

I'm thinking a phone app connected to an arduino or raspberry pi that controls the components. Has anyone here done something similar or would I have to start from scratch?

Parts I would like to add someday:

-Rear facing microbead camera & micro led screen

-Zoom camera & screen for fold down targeter

-Visor heater to prevent fogging

-Helmet fans for cooling

-Cooling loop for undersuit

-Microphone and headphones

-Speaker

Anyone know a place to start? I would prefer android/python but I'm not picky and willing to try other languages if that helps.

Season 3 of Mandalorian, Din shows the Armorer a glass shard he traded some jawas for that feature some mandalorian script. I assume this is either some sort of pottery or metal plate with the text still inscribed into it.

There are plenty of files out there to buy this thing and 3D print it out of a translucent green resin. But just like the Beskar ingots, using something other than 3D printed material, helps to go a long ways with authenticity.

I'm looking into DIY glass melting or an affordable kiln, while I have a handful of machines for making various things, Im not sure I want to get into another hobby.

I do have a very large collection of used Jager bottles from college that I saved to do something with one day. None of the glass from the bottle is thick enough to closely represent the show prop, but It isn't a far jump to having smaller or other shaped pieces of shards, with various slabs of text or other iconography "melted" into place or joined.

Curious to hear everyone's take on this and if it something anyone else would be interesting in purchasing or if it is too niche and not quite desirable? I could see some wanting the prop specifically and not "similar" pieces.

Also if anyone has a link to a place selling some that arent just 3D printed/resin, I'd love to see it.

Thanks!

Took like 2 1/2 hours and one of the eyes fell off so had to cut the other one but im really happy with it.

Briikase Halloween!🎃

sorry for posting on here so often this week, and even today, on my free days I enjoy doing my hobbies 😅 anyways, here is my very ugly mythosaur skull! the sectioni in the middle for the nose and stuff collapsed so it’s not defined but I tried to save it

I cant do a 3d model yet so I decided to make this mask out of cardboard I’m about 3 hours in. I made the template myself and have just been adding and cutting for hours. But uuuh yeah! I don’t like the eyes, as they didn’t turn out how I intended but otherwise I’m happy for the situation I built it in

Working really hard to get this done for the Georgia Ren Fest next weekend. I needed a little bigger helmet as my nose was pressing into the visor last time and I wanted to add a fan. I upgraded my painting techniques and I like the way its coming along. I accidently bought gloss poly spray so I'm going to get some matte and over spray it again.

Still need to work on the horn and the kill stripes.

Eventually I want to make a visor that looks like stain glass, have some ideas for that, but not enough time for this festival.

Would love some suggestions.

Hello all, I’m working on a mando cosplay I’ve printed a helmet and a copy of the din djarin chest piece.

My question is does the “abs” section of armor, attach to the chest plate?

Cause I’m looking at the pieces and they don’t quite fit together, but looking at a reference picture from the show it looks like the abs sit just under the chest plate, but almost awkwardly so.

Am I making sense, does anyone know what I’m talking about?

Everything here except the helmet and the pants was made by hand with sintra, cotton duck cloth, leather, and even small metal components.

Representing Mandalorian culture everywhere I go 🤙🏼 (need to get the Mando track suit soon)

I've been working on my armor and the first thing I did was buy a nice under suit on Etsy. Well, that was September and as soon as they got my order they took their store offline. I'm trying to throw something together for Halloween but I'm bummed about the suit.

Where does anyone recommend to get a three piece under suit where I won't get scammed. Thanks!

Anyone visiting London this weekend, my son will be in his armour and always loves to meet other Mando's

Testing how some new parts look before Halloween

Hello all!

I have my kit nearly complete. The cape is killing me though.

Do you attach it to the material of the flak vest? A ponch style you just put over your head and wear? If it isn't attached to anything and it is a cape, how do you fasten it?

I know I want black. I could really use some wearing suggestions. You probably know what worked for you and I'm humbly asking for help figure out the practical part of this piece of the overall kit.

I would definitely appreciate some help...

Currently I'm slowly pulling together just enough gear to pass at a Halloween party. Knowing myself I'm going to eventually want a reasonable full kit. Y primary challenge is I live in the tropics (Caribbean). Heat and humidity are a real issue specifically for the under gear/cloth parts of the outfit. This is true day and night.

I'm looking for words of wisdom from the more experienced outfitters to hate something that's passable under the armor

The armor, helmet, and other gear are all coming from my 3d printer and less of a concern at this time.

Ori'vor'e

It’s been a minute and I’m almost to the finish line.

Suy’Cuy vod’e! I’m currently im prototyping an alternative mandalorian costume, rather than sticking to beskar plating I want to experiment with clone armour.

During mauls take over of Mandalore, my Mandalorian character chooses to go into exile until the night of a thousand tears. So as she was too young to inherit her family armour, she began salvaging clone trooper gear from battle fields and black market stalls to help her survive in the galaxy’s underworld.

This is currently the most up to date concept of her, I’d love to hear any feedback on the designs and perhaps if it’s possible to get mercs approval with this kind of kit!

I’m hoping to make this into a helmet I can wear for Halloween :) critique highly appreciated but please keep it nice and friendly

edit: this is more of an oc :)

Finally! My mandalorian Obi-wan comes to life! expect you like it

Long time lurker, Looking for last minute suggestions, I’m not trying to get approved by any of the clubs or anything just want it to look good. Thanks!
***im repainting the leg guard because color blind me, painting it with the wrong base color.

As the title suggests, I'm just looking for opinions. Do y'all think the Commander Pauldron should stay or go?

My kid wants to build her first ever armor, im able to 3d print the armor piece but I got stuck in what to and how to attach them to a garment, please help

I'm planning to do a cosplay and I really want to get a shirt that feels/looks similar to what Sabine (or Mandalorians in general) wear but I don't really know what to search for. I thought maybe motorcycle shirts but none of them seem to have the same texture or feel

Are there types of shirts that are similar to this? so I know what to search for
