My Canderous Ordo's armor WIP

[stevechewbacca]

Hello guys !
I talking you a long time ago about my armor project... And I finally began it !!
Well... it's with not expansive materials I found in a working store and in a sport store ^^

So let me show you what I've done for the moment.

First I bought biker boots and gloves (but no photos yet)...
Then, I decided to make the chest in a plastic sheet.
I made it in two parts : the global chest, and the top chest.




then, I put on the first part some peaces of foam to make the chest relief :


Finally, I put the second part on it:


I made the form folding the material with my hands ^^

Don't forget that is just the begining ^^

The first part of the helmet !
After the beginning of the chest, I decided to make the entire helmet before continuing the rest of the armor.
So I bought a roller helmet in a sport store and put a sheet of plastic on it.
I have to cut it a little 'cause for the moment, I can't hold up my head 

Tomorrow, I'll get lenses so I'll able to continue it during the week I think ^^
Here's the first shot of my helmet.

In fact, its a kind of plastic used in bathrooms. if I remember, it's called "polypropilene" or "polyhetilene" or something like this (in France ^^) But the stamps with the names were deleted when I began making the chest  . Or expended PVC. 1.5mm weight so it's easily formable.
This afternoon (or tomorrow) I'll by the same plastic but transparent in order to make the T visor and post other photos ^^

thx ^^

I bought some pvc pieces and I think I will continue the helmet during the week if I got time when I get back home
I can build the respirator and the T visor but without black lense ^^' I have to find it

Hello guys !

I finally continue my helmet with the white plastics, the rollerblade helmet and a transparent plastic used for bathrooms ^^
Let me show you with some pics

First : the T visor


Then : the "glass" for the T lense


And them together ^^


After that, I put the "glass" in the roller helmet to form it as I need to put the visor on after :


Next, I made the complete T visor with the plastic, the glass ans a car glasses film. But it was still to big so I had to cut it in order to have a good sized helmet



After that, I put the visor on the helmet to try it and eventually resize it again (and again xD)


Finally, in order to egalise all the bucket, I put some dough named "plastiroc" which become hard in ambiant temperature.


Now, I have to wait the next week to be sure it's all hard and egalise it with glass paper and finish it ^^
This week end I have a event with my garindan costume so I don't think I could continue this project XD

Thanks to look at my progress guys ^^

hum... I don't know what is "bondo", can you explain me please ? ^^"

looking good

thanks vod ^^


Nice to see you watch my progress and like it 

[Cdr. Ch'ren Jud'se]

bondo is an automotive body filler, it smells like fibergalss, and you but it on, and it dries in like 30 min (or less) and then it is ready to sand, you can get it very very smooth... any other questions?

[stevechewbacca]

oh ok ^^

I'll think about it for the rest of the armor

[stevechewbacca]
