    We might be able to trim costs if we order some supplies in bulk online. If a number of people are interested, the build process can be done together.

    Just ran a quick search to see if my DP Fett helmet is worth anything before modifying to wear.

    Looks like I have a helmet to use if I plan to do a Mando!

    I wouldn't mind an eventual upgrade to more durable armor plates down the line. But for the moment I gotta say the foam has been great to keep the costs down. It's really all the tertiary stuff (paint, glue sticks, straps, glue sticks, Plasti-Dip and glue sticks) that gets you.

    you need to get some antifog stuff! it works for a bit and needs to be reapplied after awhile but it helps.

    the final look of it all is starting to come together! i need to reshape a few armor pieces but after that i think i need to make the vest soon to have something to attach it all to!

    thanks! ^.^ and i didnt tape it on to my dumy again because it fell off a few times and chipped it a bit but my wampa will be mounted on my right shoulder like this but assembled better and a lot more snug. i want to mold and cast it first though.

    It likely won't be Snow, but I think I'm going to start my Mando, soon. Just got an extra small amount of money, to spend on the Rubies Jango helmet
