HRivera7322 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Found a Mando flight suit for a fairly good deal online. Looks like the top stitching is white, so I'll be pivoting towards a Season 2/BoBF Din Djarin. 1 Link to comment

Mylehigh Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 This is fantastic. I???ve been thinking about doing a Mando. Actually 2. One will be for fun and one will be for MMCC approval. Most likely post imperial. ?? Link to comment
Mylehigh Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Ok I am so excited about this group project. I have been thinking about this more and more lately. Now I might have three mandos in mind. I still want to do a custom Mando, and my one for fun, but now I???m thinking I might need a death watch as well.?? ?? I have been printing some stuff a little at a time, I???ve got a couple of helmets in progress, well one is messed up due to the file was a test from a friend and not quite ready. I???ve also been printing up gauntlets from an Alterego file.?? ?? My ???one for fun??? is actually based on a Mando with Stihl colorings. I sell out door power equipment for a living and with one of my extra helmets I figured I???d do a Stihlalorian. I???m using mesh for the visor instead of a lens so it will look like a safety shield. I had also been working with chainmail even before it appeared in The Mandalorian. I plan on using some of this in this Mando. This one won???t be for approval so I???m not concerned. (Although I???m a little confused that chainmail is not allowed by the MMCC. I mean it???s conceivable that someone, somewhere in a galaxy far far away could have thought of chainmail.). I do have lots of questions about all of these builds ?? well enough of my babbling for now.?? ?? ?? 2 Link to comment

I mean... literally in BoBF the Armorer makes a chainmail shirt for Grogu. but yeah as part of an armor kit it's too "earthy" i guess for MMCC Link to comment

Then I was like now everyone???s gonna think I wanted to do it because of the show. I have seen them say that chain mail is too earthly looking. I just don???t get that. Just because we haven???t seen anyone wearing it yet doesn???t it mean no one???s had it. However, I get it. Their sandbox, their rules.?? Link to comment

Mylehigh Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 First of my questions unless I???m looking in the wrong place the MMCC CRL???s seem maddeningly vague. Is there a place I can find detailed examples of costume parts? Link to comment

Is there a place I can find detailed examples of costume parts? MMCC is maddeningly vague mostly because there can be a lot of flexibility in custom projects.?? But best practice is select an era then spend some time looking on the MMCC boards and researching what some people have done for differnet eras.?? the Mando Merc Builders group on FB is very active and that group will usually tell you what will and wont fly for any particular era if you have ideas 1 Link to comment
Mylehigh Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Good to know. I think I might go down the Deathwatch path because the 501st CRL is laid out pretty well. That will help me get started.?? Link to comment
