thanks to your idea!! i made this armor using the same technic that you teach in your tutorial and i want to show you my clone trooper armor that i made of cardboard all of it with the same technic that yours thanks for your idea!!! i hope you like my armor please comment
This is awesome thank you very much! I am very interested in making my own but I have one question: is there any website I can go to that can give me stencil like cut outs to help me shape the armor while I am still new at this?
To be quite honest with you I've seen some buget cardboard armor on TDH. and I thought they were going to look like that. I was pleasantly surprised how well it turn out. Great job
This is a good way to have a good set of armor even if you have a low budget. I knew no other way of creating my own set of mando armor. Many told me to go through with cadboard but I had no clue how to start off. Your video showed me the way to have good functional mandalorian armor. I am going this way until money comes in so I can try for stuff that is more sturdy. Thanks for posting this up vod I really appretiate it.
@dannyphantomranger- HAHAHAHAHA!!!! you call cardboard "functional armor? pfft! use real steel not a domino's box and THEN will your armor be functional!
I am greatfull for your wisdom in creating armour, i made a vest out of 20 gauge sheet metal, your techniqe here. And ven the helmat using a similer teqniqe. I'm gonna try to make a new helmat with apoxy putty; my helmat didnt come out so well. But i compramised by adding a glow viser and built in walkie talking comm system, i am very thankful of yopu sharing your tecniqe with me.
I LOVE it! I have cut out some templates in poster board, and am going to make a femme 'gam set. I haven't decided whether or not I want to go the cheap cardboard route, or if I wanna get trash cans and do it that way. I REALLY like the distressing! Now I know how to do it! YAY! : ) I didn't think that the cardboard would look as good either, but that is just awesome!
im to lazy does anybody know where i can buy some armor. like the realy good armor where it comes with every thing. but if it come to it i will have to make it any way and i will probly will have to make it
you have the same voice as Robert downy jr., the guy from iron man, anyways, i used this technique and it worked perfectly, i now own 2 sets of armor. thanks!
I may just have to use this technique for Halloween this year.
How do you design the pieces to fit around something like a shoulder? I'm thinking of going as Vader's secret apprentice, so I'd have to make those shoulder guards he wears.
Yeah spray paint works like way better for the colour....but ummm yeah i made a mistake...DO NOT USE SPRAY PAINT FOR DISTRESSING. It will basically dry....way faster than u think and wont come off with water...even when its still wet...it sorta just streaks on it and stuff...but in the end u have something that looks like...an ink stain...so yeah... that acrylic stuff is wat you need.
Hey could you do more videos with this type of thing? I mean more armor would be great....but a mandalorian helmet would be FANTASTIC....or KOTOR mandalorian armor would be....actually there isnt a word good enough for that....
Shadow and Highlight! :) Beautiful job, it's a great example of taking $0 of cardboard and making what APPEARS to be "metal" that has actually seen action/taken a beating.
omg! your a master this is so good, i went to a starwars convention in wales and the mandalorians there said it would cost loads of money but now ive seen and learnt from you i amazed!!!
Thanks for all the support and comments everybody... : )
Yes, the full costume 3-5 hour DVD video tutorial will be available late November of 08. I am not sure on the price, but it should be reasonably low as I want to share this with everybody interested. Thanks again for watching... : )
He says he's going to make a full armor tutorial and it'll take about 2-4 weeks to do. He doesn't know when he'll make it but he hopes to do it this year!
This is really funny to me..this guy slaps this cardboard piece of armor together with materials he has just laying around, and it looks better than 95 percent of the other cardboard armors i've seen on the net!
