another custom mando in the works...

Hi All,

So here is another WIP for me; a set of beskar'gam for my vod'ika. He helped me a ton on my set, so I promised to work on one for him. He wanted something really unique, so we sat down and drafted up a custom design. We've been working on this for the past couple of days, and
I have the dome for his helmet glassed and his armour painted.



Hopefully we can do more over the weekend.

Best O' Luck

A'den

EDIT: sorry about the sideways image!

looks good i like the plate sections,kind like a modern version,will be watching keep up the good work!

Wow... That looks really great, dude!!! I LOVE that design! Why does he get all the special treatment? lol

Very interesting peaces of armor. I actually like them. I'll keep checking back. Keep up the good work

very nice. very original. cant wait to see them mounted and worn!

Whoah! That's a really spiffy pattern and paint job. Your vod is very lucky.

Sweet bro! What else are you gonna do to it? Excited to see where you take this.

Ok, finally have an update..his bucket is almost done!!!



Gotta fix a few things (like that seam in the front )

So here's what we have done so far:


Best O' Luck,
A'den

Looking great! Keep it up!

A'den, you are a mad man, always working on your armor... I made more hard parts for my second set and my 9 year old, look me up again.

As soon as I find a new job (got canned the other day, just a warning, dont cuss out your boss even if she is a b***h) I'll order a couple of BDU pants and couple of vests from ladysewsforus.

Keep up the XLNT work Vod.

you shure make alot of armor,and this is a nice suit keep posting

going good vod this is looking awsome keep the work up

The helmet is basically done...except for the EL and a few minor touchups...


An ultra bright white LED...hehe


Sides and back...





We have also fitted his armour, and I've almost finished the webbing system to hold it in place.


A'den

looking nice brother cant wait to see this finished and all together.

and yes verrry bright light lmao

Wow. You sure have a lot of time on your hands... That looks BEAST dude! I wasn't really sure what to expect when you first told me about it, but I definetly love that design!

Is the bottom edge of that helmet jagged?

XLNT work, XLNT.

I just started cuttin the cardboard for my second bucket to go with my white armor.
Then I will make my son's bucket.

Dang that's a seriously nice bucket. Yay for blinding lights!

No, it got slightly crushed...gotta fix it...

any pics of the soft parts yet?

I also like the look of the armor plates, you did a great job on 'em!

i really like this helmet, great work

hey Darth Wombo, how did you get such a good flair in the bucket in your avatar?

Looking good. Like how you have the armor set and the design of how you put it.

it may be a craft ring, i know some ppl use them on the rim of their helmets

thats an idea, know where i can get em?

lol sadly no i just know ive read up on craft ring instalation somewere either on TDH or MERCS lol

You can get em at michael's i think...

OK, so I'm still working on this project...I've been fighting with the backplate over the course of the day, and still dont have it right...Once I get it correct (and I will, no matter how hard it tries to stop me) I'll post pics.


A'den

Sweet cant wait......

Yar, so this is what you've been doing

Nice work so far.

Want us to gang up on that backplate, I'll hold it down while you kick it into submission

Hey, if it gives it the right shape...

OK, so I've been a major slacker lately, and havent done much with this (and havent posted updates of what I have done...). I'm suprised Adonian hasnt hit me with the whip yet...

School is ending this week and HOPEFULLY I shall do more with this gear.


A'den

Nah, I've been in the same boat (well not school, but work and kids) so I'm a slacker too... How 'bout I let you use the wip and you can take a few cracks at me too

The only thing i've done to my new bucket is put a paint layer to see the MAJOR imperfections.

I gotta sand it all off if or when I have time and energy. I've been really drained lately.

Ah what the heck.

Swish crack ZZZZZZZZZZTTT

SHOW US SOMETHING
ANYTHING

I wouldn't worry about it, this is the thing about a hobby, it's supposed to be fun, but it also means we can put it down for a couple of days until our batteries are recharged.

Or the lights are fixed in my case...

thats a really cool suit and helmet! very reminiscent of the Senate Guards!

forgot to pay the bill?

Is it kinda sorta supposed to remind me of Redeemer from Spawn?

Vod'ika, I wouldn't trust you wrapping me up with tape either...
