    Survey: Two choices for my next Mandalorian build colors. Red armor with white undersuit or red armor with black undersuit. Opinions?
    The red and white would be less cost for me as I would be able to use my under suit clothes from my arctic build, as well as the belts.
    Red and black would require a few purchases but I could use my Boba boots as I am thinking of grey accents.

    But if you go black undersuit
    It could be the base for more costumes.
    But honestly, it is what YOU want to build. What are you leaning towards more?

    Thanks! I am super excited to be on there and The Dented Helmet. IT's like a model making it to Vogue. I like to share my story to let people know that just because you have a disability or impairment it doesn't mean you can't do amazing things.

    Just want you to throw a quick question out there for those who wear costume beards...

    My beard for Q-G is lighter in color than my wig. It is a human hair product. What can I use to darken the color to match the wig?

    Hit send before typing. If the beard is lighter, will it pass for grey hair or is it a blonde vs. brown issue?

    If it's human hair, in theory, you should be able to dye it. I'll check with some of the folks in the superhero alliance. There is an event on Saturday and I know several of them use wigs for their costumes.

    If it were a synthetic beard you could use the "Sharpie dyeing" method. But I don't know if it works as well on human hair.

    Yoga mat. Cut out a shape, trapezoidal I guess but more rounded edges, that will be a good size for your build. Lay out the pieces on the cut mat and then glue them down. I used a combo of Weld Bond and hot glue. The collar piece will then be connected to the "vest" via nylon strapping and glue. Same with the back plate as those don't need an "under mat". I followed Bobby's Mando almost exactly as he dropped it over here for me to use as a model. We both used nylon strapping and quick release buckles to fasted everything. When you get the chest pieces and collar and back plates all joined together, it's a sort of vest that just slides over your head and fastens on the sides. Easily removable and you can use a short sleeve shirt over a long sleeve shirt for the "flak vest" effect.

    Your crown is safe. I'm deaccessioning my collection to just maybe 2 costumes. The rest are soon to be seen on EBay!

    Adult size yes, but from what I read so far it is a pretty small fit
