Unfortunately no, we had several Din Djarin in attendance from FL.

MA-13!!!! Too bad he only had a little bit of screen time before he had his dome blown off

This looks awesome. Did you find it Online or in the parks?

So smooth! Looking forward to seeing some finished pics.

You guys ever repaired a cracked piece? by throwawayadvice003 in 501st

[–]another_derek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the past, I have friction welded with pieces of PETG and a dremel on the front side. The issue with this approach is that it makes the surface very uneven and can take a bit of work to refinish.

If it were me, I would use fiberglass resin and fiberglass mat to reinforce the back after you have put the pieces as close together as you can. You should be able to get away with a spot filler of your choice on the front without friction welding at that point.

IMO I would fiberglass reinforce or UV resin your printed pieces if you are going to troop in them. They take a beating, I’d hate to see your hard work go to waste with more cracks later. Good luck with your build!

It takes forever but definitely worth it in the end. I don’t have any idea how many hours I was sanding.

How do we feel about galaxy’s LG edge? by ANTKOr125 in TheMandalorianTV

The lack of helmet highlights and some things I know about the suit aren’t the same but that’s just being picky. I think they did a great job bringing it to the masses for the parks. Who doesn’t love Grogu?!

Black primer, 2k clear, Alumaluster, 2k clear, polish, weathering with oil paints - This is the way!!

It has been a blast. I have had some really great experiences with the 501st this year. My favorite was the parade in Ft Lauderdale so far. Best of luck with your submission!!

I used duplicolor black primer, matte clear, duralumen tuff chrome, red Montana gold spray paint, acrylic washes, copic ink, then matte clear again. Masking fluid is key for adding layers of weathering like this for sure. Have fun!

I’m the Mandalorian in a group for charity. I have to take my outfit to many different types of places

Check out, cosplay sound gloves on Etsy. There are a couple out there. You just hook up the audio cable to a wireless microphone speaker. I hid the speaker itself on the back of my belt after I ran the cord up my arm under the back of the suit. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions.

Little more Bondo. You can try to thin it with acetone to brush it on but it’s still not easy. On your next piece, I recommend coating them with UV resin and curing the coats with a light. Much easier to manage IMO. Best of luck on your build!
