Congratulations to my profoundly talented husband @trizzone52 for official approval of his Din Djarin into the Mando Mercs Costume Club.

His handmade cosplay has been a work-in-progress over the past 3+ years. So many skills were involved in its conception, many of which he learned as he went.
3D printing, filler-priming, painstakingly hand-sanding, and painting the armor and weapons - using the actual set-used "beskar" paint, Alumaluster. Learning how to sew and dye fabric, making his own flight suit from scratch. Leatherworking. Electronics work. So much trial-and-error. Repairing and replacing cracked armor pieces and fabric tears as it was worn for events, conventions, and my silly video ideas 😂
With official approval, he's looking forward to more official charity events, helping others with costume builds, and bringing smiles with his armor.
I'm so proud of you and what you've made with your own two hands, heart, & soul ❤️ you make the world a better place, and I couldn't be more honored to share this life with you. Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum.
