Mandalorian Dice

Mandalorian dice

I think these are probably some slightly random choices but I didn’t want to carve out an individual helmet for each die. It was probably a little restrictive doing it that way but I was mostly just trying to avoid doing more work. As much as I wanted Sabine’s helmet there, I did the helmet in the right shape only in the size for the D4 which would be too small for any of the other dice. Luckily, cool helmets run in the family so I did Tristan’s as I had the right size and shape for it. I might carve some more out eventually, there’s a lot of diversity in mandalorian helmets so they’re not quite as simple as the clones.

Bleach painting of the Ghost. I wanted to see if the colour would lift differently on a different coloured t-shirt. I know the picture makes it look black but it’s actually navy blue. The colour still lifts the same way, through orange then to white. The splatter effect with the spray gave me a galaxy vibe so I decided to paint the Ghost. My proportions are still a bit off. You get less leeway with ships and buildings than you so with a landscape, or to an extent animals, so it can look off quite easily. Still I really enjoyed this one. Can’t wait to see the Ghost in live action.

Some pictures of the first lightsaber hilt I made, Luke’s from Return of the Jedi. Made with tulip, maple, rosewood, and walnut. The green LED in the end is connected to a switch hidden in the control box and a battery compartment concealed in the bottom of the hilt. I was perhaps a little over ambitious with trying to get electronics into this. Even though it’s a relatively simple circuit I’m not exactly an expert, and I think the hole I drilled down the middle was too small which made the wiring really awkward, but the idea was there. Still, I’m happy with how it turned out for the first one.
