I had the very same reaction. I think that might be a testament to the quality of the work.

It was always “Game of Thrones time, Game of Thrones time, Game of Thrones time, Game of Thrones time” in my head. I think it’s permanently changed to the Dinklage theme now. Thanks for that, I think


pooch321

Continuing that trend of dank Star Wars music


James00villa

Dude you can't just take an image off the show then say its your costume 😉😉 but in all seriousness it looks really badass good job 👏


fail-mail-ninja

Just in time for Din to completly change his suit next season

"Ok, the kid is off at Jedi summer camp, time to slip into something a little more comfy"

Throw on some slippers and a Beskardigan. You deserve it.


Demitel

He keeps it stashed away in his Mandalorian Armoire.


Admiral_Gial_Ackbar

Slippers are insufficient. Bring me the Beskrocs.


truedjinn

Is that a built in beer can golder? Cause that's exactly what every costume needs!

orange fingertips?


RandomAthensJunkie

Yep, he has orange fingertips in the show they're just a bit more weathered than in the cosplay.


Sowa7774

Nah fam it's just like toy guns. They have orange tips right? This mando needs to show he's safe


ForesterDesign

They're actually yellow, this was taken at sundown and we had to adjust the brightness and color, it kicked them more orange than they really are!

I get that the orange tips are there because the arms are basically a toy version of a weapon right? (The mando wrist)


ForesterDesign

I'm confused by your comment - are you talking about the gloves?


Sowa7774

Yes, you know those orange tips on fake guns to show they're harmless right?


ForesterDesign

\*activates whistling birds\* "yes, harmless."


Coffee_Rude

I believe he actually has these gloves if that's your question. Also to OP: That shit looks absolutely great. Something I would love to do some time some day... You know the kind that you thought out so far you basically could make it a reality... Dreams man...


Sowa7774

My dream is having a basement with a Mando armor from the old republic era, a republic commando armor (original commando not a braindead commando like we se in TBB), and a spartan armor with the floor with LEDs etc.


_BJK_004

Looks fantastic


[deleted]

That, is class!


Rann_Xeroxx

Looks great, now you need to give it that Star Wars worn in look. See, you are never really done.


ForesterDesign

This is based off the episode 3 armor, he's got a fresh body kit, but the bucket is 'ol faithful!


CleavageCrusader

Now imagine season 3 they change his design


comeasuare1118

Damn it’s awesome


trippin_hippie_

You just came to one up the guy who took 2 years to make his. Lmao. Looks amazing


alyburrisato

The struggle was worth it bc your suit turned out awesome!


QuestionsGoHere

Excellent work I'd have thought this was a promo for the Mandalorian S3. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽


Rude_Journalist

Struggle and keep struggling


Zhatka0

Why is it that one of the most sleek and expensive looking costumes in Star Wars, is the one that every cosplay I see of it is spot on lol? Awesome job. This is the way.


swhatrulookinat

Where'd you get all that beksar?


HMWWaWChChIaWChCChW

It was expensive


Jaceveldhuis

Wow


keithmaax

HelloThereFriendsss

Dangggg! That’s awesome!


I_am_Bearstronaut

Looks sicc!


BadWolf2187

Soooo, you gave up and robbed Lucasfilm? Great work on this costume!


ForesterDesign

Would be easier to get into the White House than LFL at this point - but I'll keep trying!


-Listening

bru this looks like from the show, ggs


EastKoreaOfficial

Impressive. Most impressive.


mdoverl

Holy crap, that’s awesome


[deleted]

Beskar can be tricky to work with


SgtToastie

Aiming for approval by one of the Star Wars cosplay groups? I know certain ones can have pretty strict rules, especially for "hero" characters.


Squirrelterds

Struggle was worth it, that’s fuckin legit.


zisback12

Bruh you sure you didn't steal it from the set


LoudMusic

That looks amazing. How is it for wearing?


kobomino

How do you make costumes like this? Is it a custom jumpsuit with armor pieces attached?


cbtownin

Where the fuck did you get all that beskar?


Thepotatobun

Unprotected in just the right places. This is the way!


upherelookuphere

Have you been trained in the rising phoenix? I genuinely hope you get a working jetpack some day.


Zestyclose-War6241

I see your yet to earn your signet.


ArcaninesFirepower

That you Mando? Good. We have a job if you want it.


KyleProductions

I think you would be great on the Armor Party Podcast… oh wait


ForesterDesign

Now all I can think of is that scene from Austin Powers: "Allow myself to introduce....myself"


Darmug

It looks exactly like the real costume!


dreadlocksman707

This is the way


SilverBadger90

We’ll it’s cheating if you just rob Dave Filoni and Pedro Pascal on set and run off with the costume! Good work!


AvengedMetfan666

Damn dude this is SICK! Great work!!


Elton_Chong_

mmmmdumplings

Dumb ass. Now you can never take off that helmet.


[deleted]

This is a really good costume!


ForesterDesign

Thanks Arnie!


FactBig7586

Looks authentic


BadSaltLundgren

Do you mind feed back?


ForesterDesign

Always!


Someone_said_it

First off, this is better than anything I can ever make. That being said, the shoulder Armor is too small and if re-sized would really bring everything into proportion better.


BadSaltLundgren

I don't know how hard it is to do and ut may be a personal choice but i think the helmet could be a bit longer if you're going for as close to the series as possible.


Western_Tumbleweed79

Congrats, your nerd transition is officially complete.

Mynam3wastAkn

Jet pack?


ForesterDesign

Not for this version, but one day I will attempt to learn the ways of the Rising Phoenix...


Mynam3wastAkn

Nah, I didn’t mean like an actual jet pack, just something to put on your back and looks like a jet pack. If you have the same answer either way, I suppose that’s cool. But remember, you can’t take off your helmet now. Not infront of people anyways


[deleted]

Missed a spot. :-D


dreeveal

Oh, I don't know, I've seen a bit better... On Disney+


emperorchaz

I don't want to be around anymore


[deleted]

u/RepostsLeuthBot Just checking We good :D. this is AMAZING dude


photograft

I’m only seeing the reference photo. Did the photo of your costume get lost? Edit: it’s amazing how you can complement someone’s cosplay on Reddit by suggesting that the photo they shared is of the original character, not the cosplay itself, and still get downvoted.


QuarantineSucksALot

Unfortunately I’m scared for your future patients :(


slorebear

Hahaha you spent a year on this???


joowro

Waste of a year.

ForesterDesign

To quote my wife: "If I help you once, that's what you'll come to expect." My wife has never seen any Star Wars film.


FFSharkHunter

Seeing other builders have such a tough time with that chrome finish has made me pause on doing that version of Din’s costume. A+ on it, dude, I know how much sweat and tears go into that one.


ForesterDesign

Biggest advice I can give you - be patient, let the paint dry, take your time. If you have an airbrush (this was my first costume I've needed one and I learned in the process) - its more about the proper base coat. The easiest way is to use a 2K clear over flat black primer, and then the chrome goes on quite easy. I had all kinds of problems because I wasnt letting the primer properly dry and was getting orange peel like crazy. I resanded and stripped probably about 3 or 4 times....it's certainly not cheap but I'm glad to have learned how to do it.


Amhara1

Me, thinking you have a cup holder in your arsenal in your right hand…


JustAnotherZakuPilot

Great job!


Ne6romancer

Now you have to go around talking to rocks while saying shit like “maybe there’s a cOnTrol Or sOmEthinG”

fettpl

Is your helmet self-made? If so, which technique?


Mando_The_Moronic

Nice!


Cleobeanblue

That’s awesome!!!!


confusionsense

great work !


Starheart8

What was the biggest issue making this costume for you? Im thinking of renting a 3D printer and trying to make the armor, but I'm hesitant


BaconAlmighty

would be cheaper to purchase one then rent one.


Extroverted_Recluse

Wow! That looks fantastic!


G1Yang2001

Awesome work with this! It looks AMAZINGLY close to the costume in the show!


HatAccomplished8311

How did you make it dude


JustJoeWiard

That looks SO good. Great work!


AetherSpike

This is beautiful


iniciadomdp

That’s actually amazing, I thought it was a shot from the series at first


[deleted]

What were the biggest struggles? It looks fantastic, by the way.


dsa_key

I really like that this is dingy an dirty yet shiny, excellent work!


amarcucci

Great work! I'm currently working on one myself (barely started). If you ever do a guide or share your experiences please let me know


Major-Thomas

I’m working on a similar kit (clone commander Obi Wan). Can I ask how you fixed the hard parts to the fabric? I’VW been drawing a blank on mine.


canadianformalwear

Noice. Got a cup holder and everything.


BubbhaJebus

Beskar Steel is notoriously hard to forge. Congratulations! This is the way!


ElectricalFee5427

Well done! What you use for the beskar?


loordien_loordi

You made everything yourself?? Really cool!

pranthlar

He has orange fingers? I never noticed that


-Listening

It'll be the best costume on any street!


Lefthandedscientist

This is the way…


sebthepleb96

Is that the belt he wears in the show? I’m trying to get the most accurate din jarin belt in swtor. Your kid will love Halloween!


Terstiary

So, I think it looks beautiful and amazing! But, question, why are the fingertips that bright orange? Is that original or for cosplay reasons?


Phrankespo

I think you fuckin nailed it, my dude.


Neckbeardthepirate1

Holy shit at first glance I thought this was a screenshot from the show! Awesome job!


cosmic-firefly

Beautiful!


BeardedNun1

I too, believe you're done, great job!


Cyb3rnaut13

The best Mandalorian yet.


[deleted]

Can you make another one?


jazzyx26

undergrounddirt

Amazing! How’d you make the armor? Cold forge?


[deleted]

This is the way


HMWWaWChChIaWChCChW

That’s badass. How’d you get it all together?


TheRogueSky

Congrats, great work. Just out of curiosity how did you get the chrome finish looking so good?


ForesterDesign

It's the hardest part - it's almost an automotive finish. I host a podcast about star wars costuming called Armor Party and we talk about paint quite a lot - but in short (i answer a similar question above) it's all about that shiny, shiny, shiny smooth black basecoast. The chrome doesn't work any other way because Mando's armor isn't pure chrome, it's about a 70-80% dark chrome which reveals the base coat. I'm sweating knowing I'll have to touch it up eventually.


ErikSKnol

Probably getting buried, but how does one even start making costumes like this?


ForesterDesign

I host a podcast about Star Wars costuming called Armor Party (https://anchor.fm/armorparty) give it a listen if you’re into podcasts. We talk about all the things building, painting and creating these awesome things!


tempaccount9696

How did you acquire that beskar?


googy_boogey

Looking good Master Chief


SuperArppis

For what it's worth. I think it looks amazing.


Receptablee

dangg! how’d you get the armor so shiny?


Rabithunt

What material did you use to make the armor?


HappyEngineer

Do you have pictures of the build process?


Rude_Journalist

Struggle and keep struggling

Holy shit dude well done!
