Condar, the choice of the toilet brush holders is inspired!  I'm stealing that. ;D 

And the rest of the project looks GREAT!

Thanks Klynn ...... I can't wait to see what you build .  ;)

Never thought of that!!!
After I get my bucket sorted, these shall be my next project!!!
Although me being me, I'm planning on giving one of my gaunts blades, predator style XD
Only not as predator-ish.
Don't worry, they won't be spring loaded or anything

I saw that you were looking to Get some Gaunts done .
 I hope it all works out for you .  If you have any Q's feel free
to P.M. me anytime .  Just pre-drill all connections to the Tubes
and they won't split or crack on ya . The ones I use are pretty Durable.
But do have some limitations to shaping & painting unfortunately .

The best ones I did , I painted the insides before I put in the padding.
Then the Weathering takes on a whole different Depth ......

 Good Luck with your Build  Vod . 8)

I have 2 sets being Built , and only pics of my old V.1 Gaunts completed.......

But unfortunately I can't seem to find any of them ....... :-\  sorry ..


But I will post some when I get to that point .......... or find my old pics .....


My V.4 Gaunts should be much better looking , and closer to the cannon " Boba " shape .

Awesome thread! I just decided a while back to ditch my attempts at an OS Montross, and just go with another custom Mando that stays more traditional than my first kit. I'll definitely be watching this thread for inspiration! Keep up the great work vod!

Nah , This from a while back .....  ;D


But I do have some new Twists to put on it .
Just some things I came across , while building some other Things .
I was just thinking about this thread the other day to .....  :laugh:


So since were in here anyway .......  :rolleyes:

_________________________________________________ ___________________________________________

Note :
If your going to use the Toilet Brush holders (like the ones I did ) you need sand them very well .
I used 120 , 180 , 280 , 320 , 400 , 600 , 800 .... all on a palm sander .
You could do it by hand , but that would be silly unless absolutely necessary .....

I sometimes forget that people might not have such equipment just laying around , but they should .
What I mean is .... This is Costuming .... you should invest in some basic to advanced tools first before
starting on anything beyond Card board .  I know there is several sections that talk about this .
But some people just jump right in there , then freak when it turns so poorly ....  :-\
I hate that ..... It a real confidence buster to fail in the middle of a Build when your heart is in it so Deep .

I'm not talking about the flash builders ,  that gotta have it NOW ! 
I'm Talking about the Serious Costuming Members .
Their the ones I do these threads for ..... My Vod ....  :'(

Disclaimer : If you want the best results ?
Do it right the first time . Buy some tools people .....   ;)


I'll try to include more details when I up date this thread soon .....


If anyone has any Questions on this or any of my builds ...... PM me ...
I forget to Finnish up a lot of threads ..... It's on my to-Do list .....  :-X  :rolleyes:  It's huge .
