Building Custom Armor

DIY OR DIE

I've been building a custom mandalorian armor kit off and on for several years, and have learned a lot through trial and error. On this page I'll compile my progress, tutorials, resources, links to great products, etc. for anyone interested in building their own kit!

DIY guides

Making armor plates from PVC board

Erasing layer lines on 3D prints

Resources

MandoCreator, a fun tool for designing your armor.

How to Make Mandalorian Armor Plates, really good guide.

Templates, from the Mando Mercs costume club.

Products I love

Sintra Board, this is a link to an amazon listing but I typically buy it from an art store locally. I would look around elsewhere before you buy from amazon because fuck 'em.

Armor progress

Shaped some chest plates! Not perfect, but a good start.
