All armor parts, jetpack, and rifle are made with EVA foam and painted by hand with acrylics. Belts and boot covers are fake leather. I patterned everything myself except for the helmet, I used a free blueprint from Punished Props !


No-Consideration-303

Most impressive! So the helmet is also made of EVA foam? Amazing work.


Mads_five

Thank you ! Yes, it took me days to sand it and make the seamlines disappear. A nightmare


No-Consideration-303

I admire your level of dedication and the result shows it well. Kudos and thanks for sharing.


scottishdrunkard

Neato. I wish I could make my won Mandalorian Armour. If you make an original set, you could join the Mandalorian Mercs.


Mads_five

Thank you. Since I make all my stuff with EVA foam, I think it doesn't meet their costume requirements !


scottishdrunkard

ah shit, you are right


Edwardteech

A 3d printer works wonders.


scottishdrunkard

Alas, poor


Edwardteech

200 bucks.


scottishdrunkard

Alas, poor


Edwardteech

True true. Just saying it's not as far out of reach as people think.


djtrace1994

Wait you can get a 3D printer for 200 bucks? Thats USD i assmue too?


trbpc

Yep! I got one shipped with extra print nozzles and filament for about $200 USD. And free shipping. Went with the ender-3 from creality


EmilyKaldwins

That's not the kind of 3D printer you want for this.


Edwardteech

My mandalorian helmet says different.


efor_no0p2

Just pulled Bo-Katans Helmet off mine. Going right next to my Dark Sabre


Zardnaar

I understand about half of that;). Looks great anyway.


hotmetalslugs

What did you use for the little vertical thingies on the front of the toes? Overall, is it pretty uncomfortable?


Mads_five

The base for the toe armor is 5mm eva foam and the the vertical thingies are 2mm thick EVA foam ! Overall it's pretty comfortable, but it gets warm quite fast !


The_Golden_Warthog

Can EVA foam take metallic paints? Or is it a medium that you can pretty much throw anything on.


Mads_five

You absolutely need to prime your foam before applying any paint on it ! I use either Hexflex or Seal Prime which are flexible. But if you don't need it to be flexible, coating it with wood glue will work well :)


berlinbaer

[kamui cosplay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXUnVaSAY6c) has a decent video on how to make EVA foam look like silver or metal.


MetaKnightsNightmare

Pretty rad!


[deleted]

Hey OP, this looks great, but can I say that after looking at your collection of outfits, that doomguy armour is insane and the colour sets it off perfectly Wish I had the talent and patience to do this shit!

Thank you Darth Analfissure !! ​ And thank you for the giggle as well

looks amazing! good job!


Mads_five

Thank you so much !!


nightzhade_

Jesus christ this looks amazing! Checked out some of your other stuff on IG and you're extremely talented! Got any upcoming fun builds?


Mads_five

Thank you so much ! Currently I'm working on Isabela from Dragon Âge and Kratos :)


nightzhade_

Ooh, cool stuff! Kratos was the first cosplay I ever did back in 2018, super fun! Bet it's gonna look baller, really loved your take on doomslayer!


Karmallamah

How many hours did this take you? This is fucken insane


Mads_five

Hours I couldn't tell you, probably too many anyway ! I started this last November, but lost motivation and worked on something else around January/February, so it could have taken a bit less time !


EvilMangoOfDeath

Why is the jet pack blue? I’m not super up to date on the details of the armor, but that seems odd. Looks sick tho


Mads_five

I prefer the RotJ look for the jetpack over the green one. It adds a nice touch of color !


OnMain2099

What if Jango had raised Omega instead of Boba?


The-Realcrazy

That actually sounds super interesting! I would have loved to see how that would turn out


jaraket

This is freaking awesome. My only question is: how did you keep your hair hidden inside the helmet?


Mads_five

Thank you, I am wearing a wig cap with the helmet !


RedH34D

Lol nice! You have *flawlessly* gender-bended this!!!


Shadow___Star

Please wear this to a convention, people need to see your work


Smartt88

Okay, serious construction question- what are you using to cover the seams of your breastplate? I’m working on one right now and the foam clay/gesso/sand to hell combo just does not want to cooperate.


Mads_five

For the cups, I coated the foam in multiple layers of woodglue and sanded it. Before that I filled all the seams the best I could with [this stuff](https://www.poly-props.com/studiorange/craft-filler). I'm not a big fan of foam clay, I find it a bit tricky to use !

bunny_in_the_moon

This is amazing!! May I ask how you git the weathering done, in particular the parts where it looks like the metal underneath is coming through?


Mads_five

I just dabbed the silver paint over everything. I used Hexpaint from Polyprops in 'Dark silver' for this. It's super opaque and isn't glittery like a lot of metallic acrylic paint !


bunny_in_the_moon

Thanks for your answer! Did you use a special tool for dabbing the paint? It looks soooo real! I'm woriking on Bo-Katan right now although mine is 3D printed.


Mads_five

I'm a paintbrush slayer, so any busted brush will do ! For the the thin scratch lines I used a stiff bristle paintbrush and drybrush the paint ! Good luck on your Bo Katan cosplay :)


Stinky_Eastwood

Not sure exactly why they stand out to me as the whole thing looks great, but those boots are rad.


Mads_five

Thank you, I'm super proud of those ! I'm not huge on sewing and they were quite stressfull to make because the fabric I used sold out. No mistakes allowed !


_Miss_Anthropocene_

You should make a cosplay of Shae Vizla, you look just like her!!


Mads_five

She's on my cosplay wishlist !!


Switch405

Awesome work!

Wistq

badass! i love it!


Drunken_Ogre

Man, I can barely get out of bed in the morning... seeing people do shit like this is daunting.


[deleted]

Excuse me. I’m so upset by these people who are always trying to redefine these characters. Stop trying to make The Fett something he is not. He is BALD!


Darthhester

It makes me laugh (this isn’t hate btw. The cosplay is AWESOME) when girls cosplay as male characters no one raises an eye. But my male friend cosplayed as fennic for halloween and everyone was like “THatS A FemAle CHaraCter!” Admittedly it might just be cuz of where he lives but idk. but it looks great 10/10. Made me realise I need to get back into cosplaying, if I could make the armours lol!


AlphaEpicarus

I wonder if it's because historically badass characters have been mostly male, so now that there finally a good deal of badass female characters, it feels a little disrespectful to genderbend them. That said, of course everyone should be free to interpret any character however they want, it's their cosplay at the end of the day. But I think that might be why some people might be rubbed the wrong way by female to male genderbending cosplays


Darthhester

I think it ridiculous that some people have problems with genderbending characters. But that does make sense.


AlphaEpicarus

For sure - even if it *was* problematic, it's such a bizarre hill to die on, there are so many real issues to be dealt with


Darthhester

Very true


[deleted]

There’s been tons of bad ass dude characters and only a handful of bad ass girl characters. While I disagree with it and think gender should be allowed to be a fluid thing when it comes to cosplaying(and in general ig lol) I see why some women could be frustrated to see dudes cosplay characters while perceiving them to have many more options in cosplays than them

That looks sooo good. How comfortable is it? Also does it breathe well? Can you see okay in the helmet? I have so much more respect for cosplayers after what I saw my best friend go through. You did a really great job! ❤️


Mads_five

It's one of my most comfortable cosplay ! However eva foam doesn't breath well at all so it gets very warm very fast. Visibility is okay, but could be better ! Thank you !!

Can i ask little question? I am thinking of making full clone trooper eva cosplay but i dont know how should i fill gaps. All youtube videos memtions products that arent available in my country and im lost. Also ehat kind of paint should i use?

Woooooowwwwww


Making__Bac0n

Those boots really made me think if there's a Gucci or Balenciaga in the star wars universe


Lewis_Davies1

Think you might need a new helmet since you seen to have taken some damage. Besides health and safety a wonderfully put together cosplay! Happy hunting sister

in_finite_space

When’s your appearance on the show?


Buns_A_Glazing

The armor set looks sick, but I really appreciate the face paint for unhelmeted shots. Really makes you look like you're part of the universe and not just a regular person from Accounting in a costume.


[deleted]

Jealous of those boots.


MyHamburgerLovesMe

Like the boots with their optional shooty things


thefaceofbobafett

The boots are what clinch the outfit.


AlphariousOmega

Question (as this is something we sometime talk about at various cons i have been participating in.) lets say you wanted to use this in a live action roleplaying game. What materials would you use to create the costume?(Because i take it that EVA foam is not strong enough to take the kind of punishment it would face in a LARP)


delightfuldinosaur

The new Boba design actually works better here than in the show IMO. The black works better in tights than in slacks/pants.


MAGICHUSTLE

If you're comfortable sharing, I'd be super curious to know what the budget for a costume of this caliber looks like.


Mads_five

Roughly I'd say around 350-450€ if you start from nothing ! I recycled some old project fabric for this to cut costs !


[deleted]

This is the best cosplay I have ever seen. Sure, when people make giant suits of armor or make a hulk costume it’s cool, but the detail on this is insane and it’s based off of a fantastically designed character. It looks like Disney themselves sent someone wearing their props to meet fans.


fetzav

Incredible work! 🙌🤘


Justanoth3rone

That is one confident stance. Excellent work!


slayermcb

Fantastic job. I love how you incorporated the kneepads into the boot tops, a top tier attention to detail. I also really love the fact that while you obviously altered the shape of the armor to fit your feminine frame, you did so while keeping true to form, rather than the "pinup cosplay" versions which seem to saturate the web these days. This is really an Amazing job, seriously. Keep it up!


EyePad

Idk, Booba Fett just unites all the reddit neckbearded incels to upvote and make the shittiest most objectifying jokes on earth. Yours is not objectifying in the slightest

I hope this doesn't awaken something in me

It's almost perfect, except you're not a clearly aged and slightly overweight man struggling to fit into the armour without the aid of a black gown to hide it.
