Doruton's WIP

[Tassone Phoenix]

Chris is right as far as attaching the cod armor by using a Boba thong. I  use a loin cloth and that is attached to a small belt, then I add my sash (more of a wrap), and then on top of all that I put my main belt with the pouches. I am sure you can do something similar with a cod.

As far as Rubies 2 piece tutorials, go to the helmet section and you will find a bunch. Also if you use the search function on the top part of the site, it will take you to tutorials.

I took your advice and went ahead and ordered a rubies 2pc. will keep working on my scratchbuilt everynow and then hopefully get that one up to par also    will keep posting my progress look forward to your comments thanks all.

Hey guys, i went looking for a tutorial for the 2pc. came across a thread, do you guys think the 2pc. will be too small for me?? 
don't want to get the wrong size helmet

well, I'm just under 6 foot, and about 230 lbs, I can almost pull off a 2-piece. Same with Kel T, from Scotland. gauge your body size against us, mentally add your armor bulk, you should be able to gauge it. Also, I wouldn't worry too much about getting a 2-piece if you can't use it. There are enough people here looking into them that you will be able to unload it fairly easily. When you get it, just snap it together quickly, throw on your kit, and send us a pic.

[Doruton Danzig]

will do. Yeah i think it will work then. Im 5ft 8 175lbs so it should work. Hoping for the best 

[Solus Kyr]

It should be good.

[Doruton Danzig]

Sounds good, waiting for that to show up, gonna continue working on everything else. lol

[Doruton Danzig]

quick update: still waiting for the rubies 2pc to arrive.

so i did some weathering and a little painting today (little brothers handprint)





would this be an acceptable weapon?? (plan to paint over the glue thats showing and a little weathering in those areas)




I did most of the cloak weathering, still gotta burn and tear up the ends, don't have any new pics of it yet.
actually did weathering by throwing rocks at my plates lol.
look forward to hearing back thanks.

Not bad at all mate 

[Doruton Danzig]

The 2pc showed up this morn so heres some pics





Let me know how it looks.
my plates are attached by velcro gotta get used to how to attach them so they look right.(to me they look a little off right now)

I don't know if any of you are using a modded 2pc. i've seen how to pretty much mod it, just haven't seen how to mod the earcaps i've heard they need to be modded. Also do i need to change the stock visor entirely or can i just tint it? so i wont be visible.
Looking forward to your feedback thanks.

[Solus Kyr]

Nice! With some padding and a little work your bucket will look great!

[Kel T Skirata]

Looks to be an ok size for you. You dont need to mod the earcaps, some folk do but not neccessary. You do need to fill in the seam though. The number 5 welding shield is one of the best visors you can get and is dirt cheap only a fiver or so. It was also the same visor used in the movie. One thing i have noticed about your plates, paint the edge where you have cut them out

Two tutorials for the 2-piece  

[Jerek Darr]

Just cut the little nubs that hold the sheild in, use the old lens as a template to cut your new one from the welding sheild. Tint has an issue adhering to this type of plastic for any length of time.

[Kel T Skirata]

This ^  Plus watch where you are cutting the nubs off ! some bounced into my keyboard when i did mines they ping everywhere LOL bugger to get out LOL
