[–]TotallyNotBobaFett 53 points54 points ago

A few questions for posterity's sake:

  • Do you use mandalorian iron for your armor or the markedly inferior but undeniably cheaper durasteel plating for your armor?

  • Do you identify more with the neocrusaders, the crusaders or perhaps even the taung forerunners of the Mandalorians?

  • And finally, do you you recognize the authority of Boba Fett as mand'alor complete and total ruler of the Mandalorian people?

Sincerely, someone with absolutely no reason to test your loyalty.

[–]benama 10 points11 points ago

"Mandalorian iron" is called "beskar"

[–]TotallyNotBobaFett 4 points5 points ago

Indeed it is

[–]benama 1 point2 points ago

sincerely, some one with absolutly no reason to correct your obvious knowledge of the star wars universe.

[–]Trengence 0 points1 point ago

Also, assuming she is part of the Mandalorian mercs, Boba is not our Mand'alor

[–]withoutamartyr 51 points52 points ago

Please tell me more about this costume. Did you make it?

[–]MissHillary[S] 70 points71 points ago

I did, from scratch. Took quite a long time but now I wear it every chance I get

[–]withoutamartyr 24 points25 points ago

I would too, hearts and all. Color me impressed. Was it vacuum formed? And how much overall did you spend making it?

(also, Rise Against posters + Star Wars sheets reminds me of my first dorm. I like your style)

[–]MissHillary[S] 35 points36 points ago

No, I used flat sintra sheets so after I cut out the pieces from a pattern I put them in the oven for a bit until they were malleable and molded them to mt body. I've probably spent about $400 on it in all, but so worth it.

[–]MockDeath 9 points10 points ago

So after molding the sheets, how did you hook them togethor?

[–]MissHillary[S] 18 points19 points ago

Velcro and straps

[–]MockDeath 18 points19 points ago

You know, without context I was a bit confused as to why I got this message in my inbox. You did a fantastic job on the armor however.

[–]Mr_Biscuit 1 point2 points ago

How thick was the sintra you used?

[–]Doesnt_Get_Irony 1 point2 points ago

How many of these do you have? I saw another helmet in the cat facts pic

[–]_Particle_Man_ -5 points-4 points ago

looks like you should have put some of that money into your car ;)

[–]finalremix 16 points17 points ago

Why? That's a damn fly ride. I'd be honoured to go for a cruise in that. She may not look like much, but I'm sure she's got it where it counts.

[–]albinomex 2 points3 points ago

I bet it can make the Kessel Run in under 12 par secs.

[–]daedalus733 1 point2 points ago

parsecs*

[–]_Particle_Man_ 1 point2 points ago

really tho, she came here in THAT thing?

[–]platypus_bear 11 points12 points ago

I'd say the suit was a better investment

[–]willscy 0 points1 point ago

no way jose, that car could die at any moment. waste of money to spend anything on it.

[–]low_and_slow 1 point2 points ago

With maintenance? Nope. Don't let the primer fool you... there isn't any rot visible and that was GM's downfall in the 70s.

[–]bigbossodin 88 points89 points ago

http://i.imgur.com/xGU3Wh.jpg

She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.

[–]thats_a_risky_click 26 points27 points ago

Looks like ace Ventura's car.

[–]SandJA1 2 points3 points ago

It's a high performance machine; you have to fill with with premium.

[–]CocoaFang 18 points19 points ago

It's the ship that made the Kennel Run in less than twelve parsecs.

[–]Grand_Admiral_Theron 4 points5 points ago

She's outrun Imperial Dogcatchers, not the local bulk panel trucks, I'm talking about the big Corellian vans now. She's fast enough for you old man.

[–]Killhouse 29 points30 points ago

Here's a picture of when OP joined the Empire. http://i.imgur.com/JO6Ve.jpg

[–]MissHillary[S] 24 points25 points ago

This is fact ^

[–]Archammer 5 points6 points ago

I have to disagree. When one decides to join the empire, they are usually more excited.

[–]MrDeckard 5 points6 points ago

Or they got drunk and woke up with a uniform and a shitty blaster rifle for shooting near protagonists.

[–]Killhouse 0 points1 point ago

I like to thing they hate their jobs and miss on purpose.

[–]RC_5213 1 point2 points ago

Or they were deliberately trying to let Han, Luke, Leia and Chewie escape so they could track the Falcon....

[–]zachatree 0 points1 point ago

Yup been there. Even after enlisting.

[–]SHINeeBitches 20 points21 points ago

Cat facts were a nice touch.

[–]reynej 1 point2 points ago

Did you know that a cat can fit through any opening it's head can get through?

[–]Catheter 1 point2 points ago

That makes a lot of sense, if you think about it. Especially if you know cat anatomy.

[–]MrCannibal 13 points14 points ago

Reddit is not yet ready for this. but I am impressed by your level commitment to the post

[–]ROKMONSTER714 9 points10 points ago

make more please

[–]MissHillary[S] 14 points15 points ago

Deal

[–]ROKMONSTER714 2 points3 points ago

woo!

[–]UnoriginalMike 10 points11 points ago

You win for cat facts

[–]PraetorianXVIII 26 points27 points ago

I'll just refrain from blurting out the immature pickup lines that come to mind and just say that your suit looks nice.

[–]MissHillary[S] 19 points20 points ago

Thank you =]

[–]iknowzippo 10 points11 points ago

Love the car, I was laughing thinking how great it would be to see you guys cruising down the highway.

[–]iLuv3M3 8 points9 points ago

It must have been an interesting day for people to witness that. Especially while she was doing laundry, checking her mail in what appears to be an apartment. I could only wonder (if she doesn't do this regularly) how many people wonder "who is that girl..that was wearing Star Wars gear..and doing laundry?"

[–]fatpad00 6 points7 points ago

amazing build. saw your WIP on the mercs. now i need to get a move on my kit >.<

[–]zuko_for_firelord 7 points8 points ago

Are you in the Mercs? Your costume seems too casual, what with the hearts on the antenna and chest. But it does look really good.

Also, be sure to post this to /r/mandalorian as well!

[–]myfavoritewordis 6 points7 points ago

Bounty Hunters, they're just like us!

[–]pandakarf 142 points143 points ago

http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3qvtjn/ I mean really, this is the best post ever.

[–]MissHillary[S] 38 points39 points ago

Thank you! Idk who's down voting....Probably people with bounties on their heads!

[–]trance_addict 17 points18 points ago

Reddit algorithm automatically adds downvotes.

[–]SirSupay 2 points3 points ago

Thank you! Always wondered about this :D

[–]MissHillary[S] 7 points8 points ago

I love that ^ Thank you!

[–]Czarchitect 49 points50 points ago

were not totally sure if she is hot or not.

[–]Simbrian 90 points91 points ago

Doesn't matter. If I can't see a woman's face I will assume she is beautiful until proven otherwise.

[–]VerbableNouns 29 points30 points ago

Ah good old calidum donec probatur aliter

[–]HiImDan 15 points16 points ago

Yup, that's what I figured it said.

[–]readonlyuser 7 points8 points ago

"When in doubt, smell test?"

[–]Dentarthurdent42 4 points5 points ago

It would be "Est calida donec probētur in contrārium," would it not? My Latin is a bit rusty...

[–]VerbableNouns -2 points-1 points ago

I just used google translate.

[–]rocketman0739 1 point2 points ago

"calidum" implies her gender is neuter. ಠ_ಠ

[–]ImSofaKingWeToddit 26 points27 points ago

Mandalorian Warrioress Unveiled!

[–]youngeric86 12 points13 points ago

And honestly how could she not be hot when she's in a home made mandalorian costume.

[–]Gooflactus 4 points5 points ago

Just to let you know, I have you RES tagged as "Used Photobucket" ....you monster

anyway back to the actual post you made: Not to mention I think she is a redhead. Redheaded Mandalorian = super hot.

[–]SystemOutPrintln 3 points4 points ago

Move to the middle east, you'll assume that you're surrounded by beautiful women then

[–]foursecondpin 0 points1 point ago

That is a dangerous game friendo.

[–]PCGCentipede 11 points12 points ago

She seems pretty cute to me

[–]Mistervodka 4 points5 points ago

The Mandalorian armor and sweet ride are all I needed to see. Dogs are cool too.

[–]SlumpBuster 2 points3 points ago

A great Personality is hot

[–]pandakarf 0 points1 point ago

I research before I post, she is definitely hot. Check the other posts she has :)

[–]lekotar -3 points-2 points ago

IMHO OP's hot.

[–]CODDE117 -1 points0 points ago

You forgot a question mark. Also, she is a known boner puncher. Beware.

[–]jedaii 28 points29 points ago

Bobas or GTFO.

[–]alaskasteve 5 points6 points ago

I've been on Reddit all day... and this? BEST POST EVAR!

[–]TKdEvin 2 points3 points ago

Awesome

[–]Yorikor 1 point2 points ago

Verd ori'shya beskar'gam. Gar mesh'lane baar.

[–]TheBlackKeyfs 2 points3 points ago

this.....is.....awesome....thank you for being you

[–]J-Holm 2 points3 points ago

Nice work! :) just out of curiosity how much does the armor weigh about?

[–]Tuchpi 2 points3 points ago

How did you make this? Awesome Cat Facts.

[–]g2g4m10 5 points6 points ago

I hope one day I'll have a girlfriend like you

[–]ODN77 2 points3 points ago

That was awesome!

[–]Mohavor 2 points3 points ago

Hahaha, nice work.

[–]StarBoy1701 2 points3 points ago

Easily the best post I've seen in a while. FANTASTIC costume and I loveeee the car! Is that a Chevy Malibu?

[–]insectopod 2 points3 points ago

Could you possibly detail the process of making your Mandalorian armor? Rolling around Halloween ideas and this has inspired me.

From what I know, it cost about 400 dollars in all, but that's all I've gleaned from comments.

Also, if you didn't know already, you could probably make money in the costume biz. (If you aren't already)

[–]JaeMarTee 2 points3 points ago

"stop that mandalorian"

[–]sneakybreadsticks 0 points1 point ago

You are my new hero!

[–]pjgreco89 0 points1 point ago

[–]TeethofBusey 0 points1 point ago

Best album on the internet. Good job!

[–]xnodesirex 2 points3 points ago

you had me at freeze scumbag.

at least until the catfacts.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

This is so cool. Never seen a girl Mandalorian bounty hunter before :D Your armour is amazing!

[–]stfnotguilty 2 points3 points ago

My thought progression:

"Heh, that's some nice looking armor. Kudos!"..."Oh, she handmade it all herself! Sweet."..."Qui-Gon on a cracker, there is a motherfucking heart on that antenna. Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum."

That is all.

[–]starwarsnerdguy 5 points6 points ago

Dear girl in the Mandalorian Armor:

Will you marry me?

(I was a master Bounty Hunter in SWG, I still have my arakyd droids)

[–]MissHillary[S] 10 points11 points ago

I'm liking your reddit name

[–]starwarsnerdguy 4 points5 points ago

Star Wars is a way of life. It is a way I have adopted.

Man I've been following this project for the past like 6 years. GW2 fanboys have nothing on me.

[–]starwarsnerdguy 0 points1 point ago

I've recently started playing with a friend that I played SWG with. Lots of good memories. There's still some non-functional things but it's playable and, to me, more enjoyable than any mmo out there right now.

Must be a tough economy, huh?

[–]NickFlounder 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking for a moment this is gonna be a weird gone wild...

[–]phuck_hipsters 4 points5 points ago

Incredible costume, but the helmet makes your head look huge...

[–]guyflannigan 2 points3 points ago

The helmet is definitely too large for her body type. A smaller helmet would make this costume perfect. Somewhere in this helmet sizing tutorial, it says how to find a helmet to fit your body/armor type.

[–]Squoze 1 point2 points ago

that armor is badass. The paintjob is brutal.

[–]VanGoghFett 1 point2 points ago

I understand completely.. Just more painting is involved.

[–]IndispensableNobody 0 points1 point ago

Please tell me your hair is a reference to Jeremy Bulloch sticking the Wookiee braids in his helmet thinking they were Boba's hair.

[–]JZNelson -1 points0 points ago

So I find this incredibly attractive. I don't usually say that but wow. Good costume.

[–]jershkennedy 0 points1 point ago

The sad thing is, I would rather spend time with people like this than anyone at my school.. haha

[–]Slyfox00 -1 points0 points ago

Hey the park looks kinda familiar, is it in Central California?

Also, cool costume, sorry if you get creepy pms for it.

[–]Big-Ern 1 point2 points ago

Thats the dog park by Liberty Park right?

[–]mmmpigood 0 points1 point ago

I can confirm that, misshillary is drinking with me at piper down right now...

[–]blackgaff 0 points1 point ago

Ah, I knew I felt my SLC spidey sense go off. You can always spot an SLC washing machine.

[–]Bloozpower 0 points1 point ago

Same! I looked at the first picture and thought, "holy crap, that's my little sisters apartment complex, then the checkerboard floor. I thought I was going crazy imagining this was SLC! Glad to know there is a strong Salt Lake reddit clan.

[–]DenizenOfHi 1 point2 points ago

Oya manda!

[–]HKfortyseven 0 points1 point ago

What was the person taking the pictures dressed as?

[–]tehfluffykitteh -1 points0 points ago

And here we see the mysterious female mandelorian bounty hunter, not seen in film, but usally in painted pictures. We have the rare chance of seeing this amazing specimen in her normal day life. This is a truly special moment.

[–]Desperately_drunk -1 points0 points ago

Well from this I have learned that intergalactic bounty hunters still use window a/c units.

[–]fearlessprometheus -1 points0 points ago

MissHillary ROCKS!

[–]blackgaff -1 points0 points ago

I'm worried that a Mandalorian bounty hunter is hanging out at my local Betos.

I'm not gonna lie. I looked at your user history to see if you ever posted boobs. I did not find any, but I did find that you're a pretty funny chick. You make humorous posts and you're a hot Star wars chick. 10/10 would creep again.

Awesome armor, by the way.

[–]Proud_Mando 0 points1 point ago

C'mon, why's it always a bounty hunder? Why can't a Mando just own a beskar smithy, or live off the land, or run a bar in the heart of Keldabe? Why's it always gotta be bounty hunter?

I swear, these shabla stereotypes...

[–]jiveturkeykilla 0 points1 point ago

I feel like these are pictures of someone's 5 year old kid who wanted to dress themselves and they picked out their Halloween costume for the first day of school.

[–]George_Stark -1 points0 points ago

Your comment is retarded and makes no sense, think you've outed the real five year old. Obvious troll is obvious.

[–]vaporking23 0 points1 point ago

Man you need to get your panties out of a bunch. It was a joke you obviously don't leave your mom's basement to have any idea what I'm talking about.

You must not understand the concept of a joke, they are supposed to be funny.
