I took advantage of that popcultcha sale and snagged a regular 1/4 Mando. I doubt I’ll ever find one cheaper.
Finally finished my HT 1:4 Mando armor repaint this week. So I'm gonna bomb this post with pics for you. I used the same Alumaluster paint and application techniques they used on the screen used counterparts. I'm well chuffed with the result. It was a lot of trial and error on practice spoons to get the tone and reflectivity just where it needs to be. Also added in all the silver highlights on the ears/helmet and mudhorn signet. Plus some fun heat bluing to the jetpack thrusters. Then a final coat of automotive 2k clear coat to protect the finish and I'm calling it a day. I may go in and add some weathering at some point, but I want to enjoy it clean for a while first.
HT may eventually rerelease this 1/4 fig down the road, and maybe even add some mysteriously absent accessories (i.e. Darksaber and Beskar spear). But they'll likely never use Alumaluster, as it's unbelievably expensive, so I think this work will still hold it's own down the line. Plus, since HT made all the armor modular and removeable, I may even be able to just velcro it right onto a rerelease.
