Excellent video, perfectly paced and highly detailed. This is the go-to for 1st time builders! My daughter and I will be referring to this series for her first build! Thank you for all the time you’ve put into these.
Keep up the awesome work man, just finished sealing and sanding the dome for the helmet, altering templates for Revan atm, you def saved me from needing to buy or make my own duct tape head pattern. You make it insanely simple to follow and free which is beyond admirable. Def earned the likes and subscribes, thanks for all the amazing video work and insane attention to detail and walking us through step by step instead of most forcing us to trial and error with a lot of techniques
Hey, I suddenly had the urge to make a Boba Fett costume cause I wanna try doing something new. I really appreciate this vid cause I really didn't know where to start hahaha.
Hi Robert just started my journey in building this armor. Thank you so much for all these great videos! i will keep you updated on my progress. Thanks again from New Zealand
Hey Robert. Thanks for the great tutorials. My Daughter is interested in cosplay and I've always wanted a Boba Bucket since I first saw Empire in the cinemas way back. So we are thinking of following your tutorials. Sabine for and a Boba for me.
Sintra also known as XPVC is another great option. You can get enough for 4 or 5 kits for around 45 bucks or enough for 1.5 kits for 15 dollars or so on amazon.
Judith Lough Later in the series I pick up on Sinatra and do about half of the armor in Sinatra and half with EVA foam. You should be able to follow along with this video and do the same procedures with your Sinatra. Just remember to work in a well ventilated area.
I have found with a glue pot that the glue will 'dry' out faster than in the can. and you can always thin it with barge thinner. also, side note; it is possible to undo a Barge glue joint with a heat gun, but not exactly fun or easy.
I have also found that to be true. To be honest, I rarely use the glue pot anymore because it’s brush is so much larger and I usually need a more detailed application. I’ll keep the heat gun trick in mind the next time I have to move some thing. Will it work on some thing that has been cured for a day or two?
Hi! I really want to make Something Like this, but just for the fun and not thinking of movie accuracy... Thats why my money is Limited and I dont have any money for that flight suit. Do you have any idea what to use instead? I thought of just using a gray fabric trousers and a Pullover in wich I sew the like short sleeves and above all that I get a second gray T-Shirt with modified sleeves on wich I glue the armour peaces. The belt etc would cover the Transition between trousers and Pullover. Is that a good idea? For beginner Cosplay I mean
Just subscribed. Great tutorials. Looking at starting a build from scratch. Last one was a kit for my Scout Trooper. Great demo/instructions. Appreciate it!
Sorry for not responding earlier. I’m not getting a lot of my message alerts. I don’t know why so much of the Mandalorian cosplay community has suddenly become so stingy with info lately. You used to be able to find all kinds of info and directions for just about everything regarding Mandalorian armor but not it’s all disappearing.
for quality smooth foams look up tnt cosplay in the us polyprops in the uk and cosplayshop in Europe, they also sell contact cement and a host of other great costume supplies.
Ciaran Santamaria I’m familiar with TNT and have already added a link to them in the description, but thanks for letting me know about Polly props and cosplay shop.
Hi Robert, we want to start building this armor in preparation for Comicpalooza 2021 in Houston! It will be for my son. We have a couple questions. 1.- How did you build the flight suit? I saw the notes and links to some videos talking about the flight suit, but I think they do not describe 100% how to make the flight suit and where exactly to position the snaps. 2.- In the very first video of the playlist, you show how to make the body form for your son (who seems to be a similar size of my son), but then in the next videos (Part 1a) you use a flight suit and templates that are your size, not your son's. I downloaded the templates, but where can I find templates on the size for a 10 yr old? Let's say for the same size as your son.
Unfortunately I’m not great at sewing clothes, so I bought my flight suit and vest on Etsy. Information and patterns on how to sew the flight suit and flak vest and all the other cloth parts have become very scarce online. I have seen some surprisingly good costumes that just used cargo pants and a couple of heavy duty shirts, cutting the arms off of one of them to become the vest. I’m sorry I can’t be any more help than that. I used my son to make the body form because I already had mine and I wanted to show people how they could make their own. As for the pattern of the armor, you’ll need to print them out at a reduced size, probably around 60% but that’s just a guess. I go into the sizing process in the first or second video. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful but I hope this at least helps a little bit and Good luck with your project.
I was just about to send you some vague instructions on building up polystyrene foam insulation so you can carve it into an egg shape to make a pattern, when this popped up as a video suggestion: th-cam.com/video/hq0AEcqhzQM/w-d-xo.html It’s not perfect but it’s a good start.
I found this. You could use this to make the pod or you could use it to make a pattern and make it from EVA Foam. Giant Plastic Egg www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQMESCW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_i_TIoKFbEJ6YCGX I hope this helps.
On the knee pad when you try to sand those tight curves in the reeses you could use the half moon file to take the material away if you don't have a half moon file you can make one with sandpaper glued to something with a shallow curve, I've even made one by gluing the sand paper to an empty medicine bottle that was cut in half. But nearly anything with a similar curve and solid base will work that you can glue the sandpaper to.
JaxxRyan There used to be detailed instructions on making it on the dented helmet website and also the Mandalorian Mercs website, however I can’t find those instructions anywhere anymore. If you look in the info section of this video you’ll find some links to where you can buy it and a link to some video instructions for converting a pair of coveralls. Sorry, but that’s all I can come up with. I hope this helps a little bit, good luck.
Absolutely! It’s now a lot easier to find plane EVA foam than it used to be. You used to have to order it special, but now almost every craft and hobby store has a foam cosplay section.
Sorry for the late reply, sometimes I don’t get a notification of a message. You can print them out at maybe 90% and see how it looks and then adjust the size and try again. I go into the process in the video, but you should be able to make it fit anyone.
Dylan Ha Unfortunately you’ll just have to experiment like I show in the video. But I think 83% is a good place to start. I hope this helps and good luck!
hey Robert,i think i have a problem with the armor you see,im just gonna say,i think im not the age of the size of the armor is there a way i can make smaller? say the size of a 16 year old dude?
Robert The StormTrooper Absolutely, making it smaller is much easier than making it larger. I cover what to do in the first part of the video. But in a nutshell you just have to guess at how much smaller you need it, print it out at that percentage and see how it looks.
Unfortunately, there are just too many variables for me to answer that question. You'll have to go through the process in the video starting at 2:55. It's a little bit of trial and error but it's the best way to insure the correct fit. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, and Good Luck.
Hello and good morning my name is kevin and I'm from Colchester Essex England and I'm a massive starwars fan and I'm making.a foam armor esb boba fett costume
i can give you a bit of info that will make you a millionaire use carbon fiber and fiberglass with epoxy and you will have a life saving armor against small arms fire put it on a kevlar sweatshirt and you have a light mobile defensive package
I just wanted to say thanks for posting these videos. I have always been interested in constructing my own Boba Fett suit. On the other hand I was not impressed with the length of these videos. Remember, editing is your friend. You do not have to show every single detail. You can convey the same amount of information with the proper editing of your script and filming. If edited properly these videos could be be taken down to 30 minutes, be much more entertaining and provide the same amount of information.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this vid. I'm so excited about making some beskar (boba fett) armor!
This is the way, broski
Hey Robert! This video series is plain awesome! I’m doing it out of cardboard and it works really well! Thanks a lot and keep doing what you love!
I might want to build my own suit so this is very very helpfull! I have no experience in any of this, so its going to be a challange for sure!
ok lemme tell you, it is a lot easier than it seems. that's all ima say.
Just take it one step at a time and you’ll be surprised at how well things go.
Hi Robert just started my journey in building this armor. Thank you so much for all these great videos! i will keep you updated on my progress. Thanks again from New Zealand
Hey Robert! Just wanted to let you know I used your helmet tutorial to make one of my own for Mega Con in Orlando! We got a lot of pictures.
Oh man, thank you sooo much, I needed a tutorial like this for a while, I’ll work on the costume soon (hopefully) you are a life saver!
Dude I absolutely love your channel 🎉

I prefer to do everything by hand... it is slower, yes, but any slip ups won’t be as bad, and it will feel all the sweeter when it is finished.

Great videos. Just an fyi - your link to the last video - how to convert your own flight suit is private & can’t be looked at.

Hello Robert my name is kevin im making a boba fett costume I've done some of the armor out of eva foam .
Top Video :) Great Work man
For cutting out foam or leather I use my glass top yard table.
When do you show how to make the Jango Fett Thigh and Shin plates?
Will the templates work with cardboard?
My guess would be that everything will work except for the knees.

Hi Prop Master: On the template provided what exactly is COD piece left arm please?
It’s just the part that attaches to the codpiece and runs along your waistline on the left side.
Hope this helps to clarify
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 Gotcha Robert! I appreciate you many thanks for your reply sir.
Great work .Where can I get the templates
There should be a link in the description below the video. If not this video, then one of the earlier ones in the series.
Hey Robert, The bucket is pretty darn hard to make. Do you have any tips?
On the knee pad when you try to sand those tight curves in the reeses you could use the half moon file to take the material away if you don't have a half moon file you can make one with sandpaper glued to something with a shallow curve, I've even made one by gluing the sand paper to an empty medicine bottle that was cut in half. But nearly anything with a similar curve and solid base will work that you can glue the sandpaper to.
Are the templates on A4 or US letter size? I forgot how I printed out your templates.
US Letter
So I am wondering. Where do I get the clothes that are underneath the armor? I have know clue what kinda clothes to buy or where I can find it
JaxxRyan
There used to be detailed instructions on making it on the dented helmet website and also the Mandalorian Mercs website, however I can’t find those instructions anywhere anymore.

is there a certain template you used? if so, can you reply with a link possibly?
There is a link to the templates in the drop down menu of the video.
This is the way.
“Beautiful”
guys buy foam without patterns
also nice work
Absolutely! It’s now a lot easier to find plane EVA foam than it used to be. You used to have to order it special, but now almost every craft and hobby store has a foam cosplay section.
where do I get this templets? :)
There is a link in the description drop down menu.
awesome tutorial!!!
Where do you download the templates to print them?
There should be a link down in the “ description” drop-down menu.
I’m small and 5ft so would these templates still fit me?

i love star wars
hey Robert,i think i have a problem with the armor
you see,im just gonna say,i think im not the age of the size of the armor

Looks more like jango’s in the thumbnail

Robert where did you get your vest and flight suit
Ben Julup Smith
I got it on Etsy. There’s a link to it up in the video info section.
What Eva foam and thickness??
Sorry this is so late, I didn't get a notification. This is mostly 1/4 inch (5 or 6 mm.)
I hope this helps
How do you make it so the templates will fit your body?
Chase Pops
I start talking about that in the video at 2:57.
Hope this helps
Hey Robert ! Awesome tutorial but I have a question : I'm 5,8 ft tall (1m73), to what percentage do I have to print it ?
