I personally recommend heating pvc a little bit (those thicker ones like 5mm+) when cutting, its makes it a lot easier. You can cut it then with razor blade like butter, but dont heat it too much cuz you can messup the edges, but when you find the way to heat it enough it can save you lots of time and you wont be so exhausted after sawing it
Keep in mind you should have a mask on while heating sintra type materials it gives off a formaldehyde i think also a hf acid fumes in case you dont know
"Do a standard, Classic Boba style the first time you work with sintra."
*Me, with tons of resources, patterns and templates already designed for a Post-Imperial kit:* oh okay :)
I really want to make a mandalorian post empire kit. I found some templates but I’m not sure if their entirely accurate. Where did you get yours?
Thank you for showing this process, I’m glad you didn’t make the process pretty. Most videos like this make it seem effortless to get the end product. Thank you for being real and walking us through your thought process.
Great info for helping me build my kit
I love watching these, but decided I won't be doing Mercs. I figured I'm 41, why am I letting people tell me how to have fun. Nice to see though
I totally get that. I’m personally only 19, and I wanted to be in the Merch a couple years ago when I built my first mando costume, but I saw all the rules and realized they had more rules than the prop master for ESB. I do think it’s great that most of the resources are free, though, since it means that I can use those resources without actually being a merc, but I don’t have to be a merc to make more mando armor or to go to a con with it.
@@danielmcbride6413 Exactly. I have a heavy infantry suit in EVA that looks extremely good. (At least, in my opinion) and I'll be damned if I let anyone tell me it's trash because it doesn't meet the arbitrary standards set forth by a club.
If I'm at a comic con and someone asks me if I'm with the Mercs, I'll just tell them, "I'm a simple man making my way through the galaxy. Like my father before me."
@@JHJArt That's perfect.
Why do people keep saying the mercs is "People telling me how to have fun"?
This is going to be so helpful, started making my Mando kit late last month and followed your guide on the black series helmet and was searching everywhere for a guide on the pauldrons and load and behold you got it!
I watch this
video of my best friend, I hope in the future my best friend's channel will
develop as expected and become a big channel
👍👍👍👍
i hope this help.
For all those who are about to make their first PVC armor will need to use a hand saw with a greater number of teeth, so that it does not tear the PVC
Something like a hacksaw will work
The final result look sweet. High quality work.
Can I ask where you got the templates for your armor? This helped a lot. So awesome!
Thank you so much, Amazing Video!!!!
Great video, where did you get the templates please?
I’m actually a printmaking artist, and have used the same material in the past for relief blocks. You could get a Power Grip carving set (from Japan) and use the v gouge to partially score the creases where you want those sharp edges folded over. Maybe that would help?
TY for the info. I found PVC board at Lowes, last month, for little over $20.
I lived in the Midwest for about 25 years, away for about 10. I still giggle every time I hear My Nards.
Kum & Go too.
great video, I just started the construction of my first armor and your videos are very useful to me, I thank you very much
I’m so glad I found this because I wanted the satisfaction of making that style chest plate but was going to opt to get it 3d printed because I didn’t know how
What size were the elbow pvc tubes?
I did some research and - at least in Germany, where i am based - the best results i got were from elbow pvc tubes for sewage. For the size i measured my shoulder diameter roughly with a ruler and the two viable options seem to be 120mm (roughly 5 inches) and 160 mm (roughly 6 inches). Cost lies at around 12 to 15 €/$ per elbow pipe. Judging on WeldingGeeks hands i reckon its closer to the 160mm/6 inches than to 120mm but i could be off by some degree.
Look into starboard, its going to more similar to a wood sheet but its hard plastic that can be heated and bent
Great job! Love the work
Well done mate 🤙
All joking aside with my last comment, this is going to be incredibly helpful. I've been trying the figure out a good tactic to do the armor chamfers and create that sharp look for the chestplate. I'm working on cutting out the pieces of a template I designed so I'm pretty excited! Looking forward to more of this miniseries, it's the exact kind of build series I've been hoping for on a post-imperial kit!
I'm right there with you. I have a Legacy kit template collecting dust because of fear.
@@thecoltonpruitt I think your best bet is to either talk to the people on the Mando Mercs Forums and/or to just jump in, start small and work your way up. Best of luck to you!
You can also score and snap the pvc board for straight lines.
Those are some expensive shoulder plates but damn they look sweet
Literally just finished making a mandalorian armour out of foamex today, 5mm A2 x10 sheets £40 on ebay
nice video sharing thank you
i plan on using sintra for my rearmor boba build
Amazing work as always, excited to see the rest come together and the painting
Easiest way to cut PVC is to heat it then use a knife. Clean cuts, no powder and mess, you can get most of the cuts close to finished dimensions from my experience
I will say an angle grinder makes quick work of pvc. However the dust gets EVERYWHERE and rushing it will cause gnargly overcuts. The plate i was able to make took one hell of a beating though.
There is a special "spray mount" you must use to place the template on the pvc sintra.
thank you so much for doing this, i love you videos, but your awesome work always felt out of reach.
What Color Blue is that and where did you purchase it? Please and thank you 🙏
Enjoy this video!😎👍🏿
is it posable to cut it with a laser?
I find a scroll saw the easiest to cut the board.
Quick question for welding geek? What size pvc did you use for the shoulder piece? 5 or 6 inch?
Rewatched .6 inch.
Do you sell your templates?
Whats the btu rating for your heat gun? I want to make sure I get the correct one.
Amazing video, just signed up to ur patreon page and gonna start working in my fmdeath watch build for celebration next year, can I ask what size u print the templates off please , also I couldn’t see templates for the gauntlets, where are those located please , keep up the good work, u are an inspiration ❤
is there a place I can get the patterns?
Yo is it normal to find sintra extremely frustrating when you first work with it?
Did you build the revan armor out of pocket as well?
I've been confused on what product sintra to buy on Amazon? It's listed as sintra pvc foam board , also pvc closed cell? I don't want to order incorrectly.
I'm fairly new to your channel. Where do you source your templates from? Or are they custom/your own creation?
Where can I find these templates? I’m really wanting to switch to this chest plate made from sintra board before I do my pre app for the MMCC for my custom kit
Think your camera went to 360p. Great to see you try alternative materials, but don't go astray from aluminum builds. Great video demo.
How exactly do i figure out the print sizing for the template???
Print them out 1x1 or 100% cut them out tape them on to see how they scale to your body if you need them bigger try 110% if you want them smaller 90% and adjust the % from there until you are happy with the size
@@theweldinggeek Thank you!
Could you send me the cad files for the armor set? I work for a 3D printing company and want to get the armor set printed for an upcoming cosplay event. I would really appreciate it!
template location??
You made templates by yourself or is it avaible somewhere else?
I made these templets they are available over at my Patreon page
this includes templates for helmet or armour only?
where did you get the templates
is the chest template on your Patreon? I didn't see it...
It’s under post empire build
@@theweldinggeek ty i found it lol how do I print it correct size on regular US printing paper? both my kits were done using the jango plates off the MMCC site.
What are these templates listed under on the Patreon? Just signed up!
They are under post empire mando model
