Suggestion # 6.  ;) also over bend the armor as it will try and go back to its original shape.

Okay so it has been awhile since I've had time to work on my armor but I got a bit done today. At the armor party Black amy showed me how to bend my armor so I went ahead and picked up a heat gun and finished up my upper armor bending. Also I sanded and put a coat of primer on them.



Hows it looking? Do I need to trim it up any before I continue?

Is the ab plate the same template size as the chest plates? It looks disproportionate compared to the other plates.

i think that before u mold and to any more to it, u should sand down the sides a little so it looks a little more polished, but u dont gotta, just a lil suggestion.  :)

Alright so I just finished resizing some of my armor plates and weathering them. How do they look?






Do I need to add anything or take away anything?
I was thinking of adding a symbol on the other chest plate but I just couldnt think of anything.

i think it looks great, if u wanted to, you could add a little acrylic paint in some key areas, where u want the weathering to show , like not paint being chipped off, bu a litle skuff mark , kinda get it?
but either way this looks great and the paint job is excellent.any idea for the vest and flight suit?

Thanks man! You mean like dry brush some black paint to make it look worn?

I'm looking at using a burgundy vest with a black flight suit.

Hey after so long of not working on my mando I have started back on it. I have finished all the armor pieces I just need a flightsuit and a vest. I just repainted my thigh armor this day before work. What do you think?

the chest plate looks way too curved. do you have any pics of these pieces up against your body. And I like the scratch weathering but the paint brush looks kinda shoddy.
