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.

Dude, this is insane work. Beautiful!!! The heat blueing came out superb! Perfection, really!!! :love
 
Mando arrived from PC earlier this week and…WOW! Awesome figure. Little Grogu steals the show though. 😄

Update for fellow Australian collectors, popcutlcha has battery compliant versions of this and the deluxe version available, where they've taken out the batteries and the helmet torch. Regular is still $499 Aud so I grabbed one (Never really used the torch on my 1/6th so not gonna miss it here).
 
It's an unfortunate situation for AUS, hopefully things'll get amended. Though, with some discounts available I feel tempted to pick up another :lol I received my pair of QS Mandos (both Reg & Delux) many months ago.
 
Even though I'd gotten mine some time ago, I only recently opened up the deluxe to look at the figure over and inspect all the accessories. And WOW is this QS Mandalorian glorious!!! :thud::thud::thud: Even just looking at it laying in the foam packaging it looks so incredible. The level of detail on QS figures are top tier, I mean, the sheer size coupled with HT's level of intricate detail is staggering. I'm always amazed when unboxing a high quality figure, but for the 1/4 figures I'm even more so!!! The accessories are more than plentiful, and the 1/4 Grogu is such a delight! I like the fabric clothing on him and the fact it's fully articulated. I also really like the big honkin' display stand, but I can see why some may think it's a bit much lol I don't mind the finish of the armor at all, I think it looks good, however it'd be even better if they made it similar to what some wonderful customizers did here on this forum. What would make the set complete would be the inclusion of an un-helmeted head sculpt, but nevertheless I'm more than happy with QS Mando!!
 
For my last project before a long break, I introduce you my Mandalorian 1/4 from Hot Toys with armor and cartridge completely new and painted like the one used for the show.

Looks fantastic! Very nice work skyler! Love the Beskar Spear too. Is this the Alumaluster paint?
