[thedebateroom]

but what about people that want FUNCTIONAL mandalorian armor? or just the helm? lol

[bruser101]

Man where were you when i made my first set ;_;

[chicagoicee]

a good way to distress it is to rub it on rocks

[RobertC595]

My own version...

[csfreak5150]

Hey bro great video! Any ETA on when you might post distressing on plastic?

[thekidcrossthestreet]

[StubbornTurtwig]

[KryttyOrgamaProducts]

This was most useful! Thank you!

[SpartanDara117]

we are short of madalorian iron, so beskar gam can be made of  cardboard for now.

[shawnmichalsHBK]

could i substitute cereal boxes with some thickish poster board?

[greenthrash99]

@shawnmichalsHBK i would subsitute the pizza box with the poster board

[Epi2Gib]

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?

[sigghi21]

awesome

[WolfmanNougat]

That is a really nice technique there!

[ebaymagot]

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

[DarthTaiter79]

Very talented method! Amazing to start with cardboard and end up with what looks like a piece of scarred metal.

[CMxPROD]

i love you ...u make me love pizza boxes..make more make more!!!!!!!!!!! another miniature!

[warwithassault]

sweet

[dannyphantomranger]

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.

[KEVQUATRO1]

@dannyphantomranger how did your armor come out?

[ARTONY92]

@dannyphantomranger- HAHAHAHAHA!!!! you call cardboard "functional armor? pfft! use real steel not a domino's box and THEN will your armor be functional!

[samwisescalf]

@ARTONY92 it was little caesers

[shelltech83]

Kandosii !

[shelltech83]

Kendosii!!! I've been looking for some way for my armor to look like I've ran through a couple thermal dets...

[MultiDarkII]

wow very very vey great mandalorian bracer

[blindbirdboy1]

could you use the box cutter for the distressing?

[KillboxMando24]

sick vod, vor'e!

[BlooDrUnKMuPet]

Very Nice

[solider117]

that looks amazing for a pice of cardbord

but about how long do i need to make it

[dav112691]

I'm doing the same thing right now!!!

[rolindemiddeljans]

Verry nice

[11chickenlord11]

vor'e!

[beshem]

Hey, very nice!

[ageshero]

Careful man, dont get flagged for the cereal

[swcwcc]

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.

[MaidenFanFromTexas]

omfg this is so AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sargentcorpral]

holy shit beast dude

[xadastorm]

Kandosii, ner vod!

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!

Ke nu jurkad sha Mando'ade, burc'ya!

Oya!

Mand'ika

[thegamer478]

Have you done a helmet?

[mandomerc]

wen i went to a mandolorian convention in wales thay said u could use the plasic off waste paper bins the cheep gray ones are very good thay said :)

[JonasIsdiaNeravar]

my first set of armor was like this, only I used thicker cardboard, and I didn't paint it

[ambabusa]

i cant believe u didnt use duct tape!!!!!!!! lol jk

nice effect 5/5

[DanielMaher3D]

wow I did not expect that to look as good as it did!

[55vadamee]

Okay that was impressive. Have you ever done a helmet?

[Cloud2400]

Incredible. Simple incredible.

[kamixer]

very good job :D

[xevolve]

I was skeptical when you started with cardboard, but in the end it turned out really cool!

nice distressing techniques

[nickolashorton]

:D this is awesome

[lonewolf12052]

wow awsome ty for the vid i'll def. use this for when i make my own armor

[ThaPoopa]

[shadowrunner67]

[greatwhite217]

[Evelyyn70]

Lol little caesars. i work there

[sporkydorky]

did this dude ever make the dvd?

[BobieFatt]

Thanks

[BobieFatt]

Awesome Vid Do you have one 4 girl armor?

[Macattack640]

For girl armor, I would assume that the upper armor piece that he made would just be more rounded to fit the female form

[LishDFish]

I've seen one set of female armor that just had several more pieces to the breastplate for mobility.

[ObeseClone]

wow ver clever art skills,a ctually looks like a battle hardened peice of aromor

[VilseValle]

That actually looks like a piece of metal

[strakston]

dude thats freakin' awsome!

[Jonweszap]

I need help on the dome can you make a vid on that

[ANONONJEWTUBE]

Wow, that's incredible. I'm jealous of your skill.

[HaloZeroFreakBeanboy]

yeah a whole suit would be cool! i lived the way you did that i wanna try that next time i have some alone time(i have 5 bro/sis)

[Galactatech]

Dude, can you make a video about making an entire suit of Mando'a Armor.

[shinkia1]

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

[johanjohn2]

is there a vid for the hlem?

[Darkfiend1001]

WOW great job, like the realistic paint chipping

[Slayerof100]

Wow very nice, I was hoping to see the construction of the whole armor tho

[cheesewizchocobo]

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

Thank you for this tutorial! :D

[ThatDudeOz]

That's really good. Great paint job. I'm working with aluminum :P

[williamthrelfall]

Looks really good man

[Phantomshock]

looks incredibly realistic, and this is comming from a scale modeller!

[uffm]

nice...but how can i maake a helm?

[sameryoder]

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!

-regimas

[poochiewoo1]

hahahhahaa u know who this guy sounds like ...??

VINCE VAGHN or w.e. u spell his name

[tdbf2142]

lol, im wanna make lucky charm mando armour!

[VaportrailFilms]

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.

[firebush1220]

can you do a vt on how to make and distress a helmet using the cheap way?

[Colm24e]

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.

[Colm24e]

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....

[darkshadow719]

it will be awesome if u make the whole armour

and the helmet

[greytale]

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.

Beautiful... I wish ratings were enabled. :)

[megaman5104]

yea dude i thot this was a fucking joke but as i watched on i saw amazing beauty made with few colors. *tear* i uh left the oven on.

[unknownhitman1]

[platypusguineapig]

[7D0T]

[JacobSheppard]

[JacobSheppard]

That is bad ass.

[werknummer1]

Very nice tute! I like the quicktime you did on it as well, nice and to the point. While I am working on armor for the 501st this would be great for some halloween fun where I wont want to use the good expensive stuff! Sweet!!

[budandJC]
