Storm's First Build
« on: Jun 04, 2012, 02:29 AM »
Hey all, hopefully I'll be mapping my slow but steady progress as I take on the task of building my Mando armour

I'm not quite sure which colour scheme I like better though :/
I have a darker flightsuit with green/brown armour (I kinda like the white face)

[img=http://s14.postimage.org/si0wjw3bx/Screen_Shot_2012_05_31_at_09_01_17.jpg]
Or my preferred lighter flightsuit, Boba-ish armour, with dark vest and cape

Or I could re-create the Lego style Boba armour

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Ours has two zoom modes, "Up close and personal" and "Hello, you're dead."

Its what you want to do, vod. Not what we like. All of your mock ups look really good...except the lego one. Dont do that, looks goofy to me.

Yeah, it would just be a gimmick and the colours are too bright to be taken seriously.

I know that it's my own creation, but because it's my first I guess I'm just nervous about looks and such

I think I've finally come up with a helmet design I'm happy with.
The VI isn't really that significant, just that "Empire" is my favorite film.... :)

It could be that you were the sixth person in your family line to use that helmet. Canon Mando's pass plates down from generation to generation all the time.

Just found some old skateboarding pads, gonna turn the larger ones into shoulder armour like this.
Maybe use the smaller ones for elbow or knee....

Make sure you modify it so it can't be recognizable as skate board pads...!!!
