    What trained chimpanzee showed you how to beat that out? He should be dealt with accordingly.

    Nice!! I like the battle damage you've done. The symbols you've devised look very cool.

    Great job!

    The armor is made of aircraft aluminum, about 1/32"

    The helmet is I think is a DP Jango Fett!

    A whole day of me showing you guys all that stuff, and that's all you can say about the armor? Hmmmm.....Next time there'll be a quiz after the class.

    For all you guys that know me and my stuff, that's what this stuff is too, except for the bolt attachments.

    Ok MMM, I'm sorry about my lack of comments about the armour, (I wonder if there was any influence here?) Yes that is great armour you've got there Jay Z! You must have had at least some influence from a master-craftsman! (anyone we know?) I guess your awesome helmet distracted me from the armour earlier, but let me rephrase, that is a nice "package" of mandalorian gear you have there!

    ****** quit making new stuff so fast. We started on the same day and you have like twice as much finished as me now. Oh well, I'm in no hurry I suppose. I'm just trying to have it done by ComicCon.

    Edit: Oh and of course, the shoulder bells look great.

    yes its a palm tree, and the basic letters SD for san diego, and the number 4 for no real reason, and the white wing for the reason it looks good!

    Re: New Member / New Armor/New Helmet

    ok, so alot of people think i built that helmet. Well its basicly a Lucasfilms Helmet (i hate saying rubies...cause they suck)...but it was a jango helmet, i sanded down, and re-primed silver and than did about 15 coats of paint on it, and modified the stalk alittle, plus tore out the visor and used a #5 welding shield...sure its a little dark, but less green...my preferance. I also have a custom vinyl sticker on it a freind of mine made, plus the back keyholes are cut out and three finemesh screens behind them...anythink else i missed?
