Xyyyr Black
« on: Feb 08, 2012, 03:01 PM »
This is my Jawalorian costume. I used to be Jawa before I became Mandalorian but I wanted my identity to show through my outfit.
I can't apply yet to become official, because I am 12 years old.

Your comments are much appreciated.

Love the Jawalorian idea! Very original. 8)
My only suggestion is when I think of Jawas and thus Tatooine, I see more of a sand beaten look, dusty, dirty and a bit rag tagged. Your too clean in other words. :laugh: ;) I think if you were to apply some heavy weathering it would really sell the look.

And your sooooo CUTE. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :P

ya I think the Jawa theme is lost on the color scheme of the armor. It's definitely a good start to a kit tho sir

I know your not supposed to be able to see through the visor but when I think of Jawa I think of the glowy eyes

I get paid lots of creds to be a not very nice person!

ya integrating that into the costume somehow would be interesting. hmm, LEDs perhaps?

Personally, I would switch out the short cape you've got with a backplate. Not a big fan of the shiny material you've used, looks rather out of place for a Jawa.
Other than that, you're off to an excellent start!

I think the original armor colors could still work, that's why I suggested adding some heavy weathering and grime. I mean even a Jawa wants to be an individual right? :P ;)

I too really like this idea! 8)

*It could help to tie the orange from the armor in as well...

Thanks for all the comments so far!
My mom had to use a flash because we took the pictures inside the house. The material/finish is not that shiny. I used car spraypaint.
I now bought some enamel paint (Revell), not sure how that works. I want to do drybrush on some parts. I like the idea of the eyes, but my mom and I don't know how to do that. We'll ask our clan (Jai'Galaar) for help.

Hey lil'Vod , Would you like a nice piece of Purple leather  , it's good size , but not huge .
I don't ever see me using it with my Kit . But back in the Day I had no Idea
where my colors were going to End up .....But now  Not in my color wheel.
It's not Crazy purple either , more plumb ? I dunno ..... Would you like a pic ?
 I think its color would add to your kit nicely & Your Welcome to it  ..... if that's of interest to you ... ?

Possibly not ......  Ask your mom , then LMK .  8)

@ ConDar: PM sent

So I have been weathering my kit and soft parts.
We had some severe problems with the backplate, so none yet, but we might try one again.

We took some pictures with my Jawa mask, the helmet and combined.
I got stuck on Hoth, but at least the lighting is better now  :)
