Description My new suit of Mandalorian Armor for the Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club

Kaida Valentine was a commando for the Rebel Alliance before she integrated into Mandalorian society, and spent a few years as part of a crack commando team that to this day, the Alliance denies involvement with. One of the most notable operations was the infiltration of Storm Commando training areas on Sirpar. The team passed Storm Commando training with flying colors, placing her and her team among a very select few who received the best commando training the Empire and the Rebel Alliance had to offer. Following this operation, the team, greatly changed in character, possibly affected by the heavy indoctrination segments of Storm Commando training, gradually separated itself from the fledgling New Republic. They all remain close, though they've gone their separate ways. Kaida, along with two other members of her team, were drawn to Mandalorian culture, in part because a fourth member of the team was Mandalorian. The remaining three members of the team found their niche elsewhere in the galaxy.

I love the armor and the colors, did you used sintra (sp)?

shannor In reply to MandalorianKnight [2012-11-08 14:29:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much. I didn't use sintra, actually, this suit of armor is made of a snow disk (or kid's sled, meant for sliding down hills, if you're not familiar with snow disks) made of plastic. I'm not too sure what kind of plastic, to be honest, it wasn't imprinted on the disk.

Thank you. My husband and I often make costumes out of unexpected materials. We get a lot of enjoyment from the surprise people express when we tell them what various parts of our costumes are made from.

Thanks for the link to your armor.

Your welcome

How much does he charge for it?

shannor In reply to MandalorianKnight [2012-11-09 16:12:01 +0000 UTC]

He reckons anyone who has some tailoring experience would be able to do it, but if you're local to Pittsburgh, PA, he'd be willing to refit your vest for about $20.

Unfortunitely I am not in Pittsburgh, but I will definitely look into it.

A whole lot better than some others that try to look good by being Jango or Bobba with crap costumes that don't even look anything like a Mandalorian armor. -__-

Yeah, my household's all about the good costumes. We try our best with every one we make. This one's the fifth Mandalorian my husband and I have put together, and in my opinion, it's the best so far

Well there is this one guy who goes to cosplays and its annoying to see him wearing modern-day armor vests and having the Mandalorian helmets and he claims himself to be Jango or Boba.
It annoys the hell out of me.
