Didn't end up packing my ODST, only the pre-beskar Mando. Been hanging around Pulse bar staring down the stormtroopers. If you see me feel free to come say hey!

All done, see you all at Dragon Con!

Just some progress pics of my Mandalorian season 1 pre-beskar build! Printed on an Ender 5. Started with the 8 piece helmet. All glued together. Started filling with wood filler - do not recommend. Sanded Smooth: Chrome painted: Didnt like the chome so went with graphite powder...

A maybe at this time. Depends on if I can get both my Mando and ODST builds in the car.

Bump. Any ideas or suggestions for better mixing? Would like some input before we burn more silicone in a futile effort. Thanks.
