Mando Custom Survivor Post Imperial

>
Overview

As promise in presentation post, here we are with the wip topic for mine costume Gabro and Nadia's costume.
Let's start talking about the initial concept on the mando creator. The starting idea was doing a couple of mando's ispired to Tusken,but after some search i saw that there are other already created so we choose a style change, moving from something legacy to the recent style mando survivors. We also choose to use similar colors and styles in order to let the work more simple and also we think that view in couple could can be cool. Costumes are similar but not the same, we are survivor together so some parts could be splitted, for example the shins , taken from a Clone Throoper Shock PhaseII. Armor parts, repainted and some asymmetric parts.
Old (Tusken) concept:

Here ther is the list of common parts that are used in a similar way for each costumes.

Gloves, a classic tactical tan colored model
Boots, model Eviron MX Off Road, very cool boots, normally used for motorbyce ride.

Custom survivor duster, crafted with hands and love. There is a Hood and a fabric choker, sleeves are absent.

Each duster is composed by 3 Larp china brown cloak.

The Flight Suit, The flight suit consists of a modified chef's jacket and trousers, and a long-sleeved black shirt underneath.
The Flack, is a 12€ china' softair tactical vest, modified with some metal clips.
Belt buckleMithosaur skull printed in resin, buckle hand-crafted using polistyren.

Colori

Silver color used as base for all armor parts.
Texture spray.
A nice gray used as base on the silver. (MG PRIME Pantone 446C Grey).
The orange armor base color. (MG PRIME Pantone 158C Orange).
Light brown for details on the armor. (MG PRIME Pantone 7516C Brown).

This is the concept desined with the mandocreator tool, the initial idea was to use a Ursa Wren bucket, but when Nadia saw the Harbro' Sabine helmet fall in love (i was happy because it require less work to do, and it has a better fit.

Drapes and bandages are in Juta and or Linen, same thing for the under belt. Forearm guards are totally hand made by me on my custom desin that i moved on a polistyrene pannel, cut, and with hot gun forged.

Bokatan's chest.

The leather parts are made of imitation leather..

The rigid shin is recovered from a shock phase II clone. In practice the two survivors found a shock phase II clone and took the shins, dividing them one each and reusing them to adapt them to their armor, without repainting them.

Helmet is a resin rotocasted 2017 old NME Props S.T.A.L.K.E.R bucket.

Visla's chest, abdom absent.

This Mandalorian had his left arm amputated, and has a cybernetic arm.

The shoulder is the head of a KX droid. The entire left arm is chrome (excluding weathering).

Here you can see the full wip for Nadia's Forearm guards

I started by wrapping the forearm with cling film and covering it with tape. After refining the shape, I then transferred it to a sheet of polystyrene (such as a Forex brand).
I used cabinet hinges to join the two pieces, after shaping them with a hot gun.
To give movement I added an overlapping part, adding some Chicago Screws.
While I had doubts about the closing part, I initially left two tabs, but I needed to fix their shape.
Later I opted to give it a different shape
For the closure I later opted for these hooks, but I had to make an internal guide to keep the bracelet in place.
I made a matte black base.
Then silver and subsequently after some masks with toothpaste I made the first real base of the three colours, RAL 446C Grey, using the salt technique.
Base coat with RAL 158C Orange and salt after further masking with toothpaste
Details RAL 7516C Brown, in this case a clear brown line

Here you can see the full process for Knee's creation

Starting from a 3D print with the cheapest PLA.
Knee rockets are E-Sig nicotine flacon! :O
Black coat is the starting point after some sanding and before silver coat.
After apply silver coat, you can see to much print lines. OK restart from scratch.
2 Layer of UV resin and a coat of putty spry, now you can see that reflect light, now it's perfect!
Silver coat now is awesome!
Some toothpaste, some coarse salt.
and grey coat (MG PRIME Pantone 446C Grey)
Cut away top part of the E-Sig nicotine flacon.
In my mind this could be could as final part of knee rockets
Knee rockets Option A (seems better)
Knee rockets Option B (good idea but i don't like them)
