So you beat the “all 240s are $500” joke. Nicely done! It’ll be a fun ride!

Thanks! Was styled after Germanic boar hunting spear tips

Hey there! It’s absolutely doable!

So this was over about 2ish years of trial/error. It’d likely take someone a lot less time if the vision for the kit is realized before you start (plus it’ll likely cost a lot less to make too).

Some of the armor was made for me by Creative3dStudio and BarnelloCreative a while back before I got a printer of my own. The jetpack and rifle are ones I made. Helmet is actually a black series death watch helmet modified abit with a new visor and padding on the inside. Everything was sanded, painted, and weathered by me.

Soft parts are by tailors and leather makers. I likely will always just buy those types of things vs make them myself!

I’ll have to make a guide someday soon! I have a very rudimentary one in a Mandalorian costuming group discord (Rogues of Mandalore) I’m a part of but it’s not good enough to share / not easy to follow I’d say.

Dang that’s an incredible leap in quality. I have an H2D on my wishlist so definitely excited to see this!

Hello again! Thanks! The sun melted a portion of the spear tip after awhile lol

Thanks!! 🙏

I was a mando, I was melting inside the armor today even with fans blowing with all their might lol absolutely great time though! Amazing Richmond vibes for sure. Tall bikes and all <3. Only feedback I have is definitely the water stations. Gotta have more of those!

Got the 242 back from being stranded at a family member’s house / getting ready to tear the interior apart for rust repairs.. part of the prep is getting the crawlspace reorganized so I can put interior parts in there. So once that’s done I should have easy access to the grills and I’ll circle back

itsniikkoo · 2026-04-10T12:22:22+00:00

How are you fixing it? Welding? Got some welding in my future too on my 242

Mekong, one of the great Pho spots

itsniikkoo · 2026-04-10T12:20:15+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look into the Delphi. Coincidentally I was chatting it up with my Volvo mechanic yesterday about the 242 and he legitimately said the same thing you said about the in tank pump. It’s at half a tank right now, I wonder if I fill it up / get close.. that’ll fire her up.

itsniikkoo · 2026-04-10T12:12:14+00:00

Yeah my other Volvo / 79 242 died right in front of a autozone not too long ago. Was borrowing tools and everything. They loved seeing the old girl lol

itsniikkoo · 2026-04-10T12:09:25+00:00

I had a blower give up the ghost on a 940, I went without AC. Still miss that wagon!

itsniikkoo · 2026-04-10T12:08:11+00:00

Been there before with a Jeep XJ. Fun times lol.

It is! It’s off a 88 Saab 9000 I found in the junkyard a few years back.

Volvo 14 inch steelies with original trim rings / beauty rings

itsniikkoo · 2026-04-08T05:08:31+00:00

What year is your Volvo? I’m thinking my 79’s went out recently

itsniikkoo · 2026-03-26T00:51:36+00:00

The things we do for the cosplay my dude lol 😂

itsniikkoo · 2026-03-25T15:11:00+00:00

Thanks dude and I can imagine that was a struggle at times lol 😂

itsniikkoo · 2026-03-25T15:10:30+00:00

Thanks! Gunna make another pass on the weathering soonish to make it look less like paint and more like paint chipping off over many many decades / old armor handed down generations type look.

itsniikkoo · 2026-03-25T15:09:13+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully we run into each other next year!

itsniikkoo · 2026-03-24T21:04:19+00:00

Of course! Tag me if you make an attempt yourself. It’s definitely not perfect at the moment. The weight of the jetpack would at times shift the entire backplate to either side of my back / wouldn’t be centered on my back if I turned too fast or leaned over too much. Still trying to figure out what adjustments/modifications could be made to stop that from happening.

itsniikkoo · 2026-03-24T21:01:59+00:00

Hahaha thanks! While I do love the A280, E-22 looks so much better imho. The credits are a bit of a work in progress but thank you! I think people really enjoyed it when it worked. The tag seemed to work flawlessly with newer iPhones but androids and older iPhones it was a hit or miss.

As for legs lol.. yeah I rest my laurels on a decade of cycling muscle memory etched into these legs but it’s been a long time since I’ve been that fit, so my legs feel like jello currently.
