The team at Denuo Novo are giving us an insight into the choices, processes and every other element behind creating these screen accurate treasures, and they way they’re doing it is in The Lore, their new blog that will go behind the scenes into the production of their Star Wars range. We open with a most impressive piece, the helmet of Din Djarin, the Mandalorian.
Seeing the Mandalorian™ for the first time was a transformative experience. From his multi-colored armor to his long rifle, he truly was a departure from Mandalorian™ characters that we’ve seen in previous stories, but with familiar elements that evoked that Star Wars™ “lived in” look and feel. What really stood out? That shiny silver-ish, pewter-ish, nickel-ish helmet, that is summed up in one word: Beskar™. That helmet spoke to us and it signaled that this wasn’t going to be the series you or anyone expected!
But, did you know that color we used for the helmet replica is probably not what you think it is? In fact, it is more an illusion that gives the impression of a metallic helmet? That’s where are story picks up today, what exactly creates that effect?! The answer is a three-part riddle: shiny car rims, an atomizer, and a five o’clock shadow. Read on if you want to know how this all ties together.
