C5 Project tease...

I've been posting pics over on the Mercs forums of what I want to debut at C5 but wanted to see if anyone here can guess what it is. I will say it's from the visual EU.

Interesting peace of green armor you got their vod. The top photo? Eh.....I really don't know what it could be. But that picture of the armor is really interesting.
 
Thanks! I am trying to make this as close to the source material as possible.
There have been some pretty interesting guesses so far over at Mercs.
 
Yes, it is the backpack (still needs thrusters on the bottom and the paint-up).

As for the armor:
LOL! No, that is actually how it is shaped in the source reference material.
 
I would of guessed it to be a start-off for a jet pack for your costume vod. But I have been busy all day trying to get posts from other sites down. School starting up and a bunch of realy good stuff. But your armor is really good. Keep the pictures coming. I am sure that everyone loves progress pics here.
 
OK. Here are all the pics again and two CLUES to help narrow it down a bit. *wink*
Just be aware that it is NOT Lego or any kind of "Kilted Mandalorian".

No darts on these yet:

This is all I have done as of now so it will be a while before I post more pics.
 
Those two clues (hat and the dark horse) should have been a really big help actually but if these don't push it over the edge, nothing will:

YAYYYYY!---- Saint_Nasty and Dead Eye got it!

Whew!

You're right, Cam hasn't done any other Mandos yet but I didn't want to narrow it down so much at first.
Mods, you can move this thread to the "Armor" section if you want.

I always liked the way Cam Kennedy illustrated and thought this set would look kind of cool in three dimensions. I looked through all his books
and tried to pick the way he drew each part most often to narrow down my design. I'm having trouble finding a suitable plastic dome for the helmet as it is drawn to be a perfect bowl shape and not oblong like a regular helmet.
So I'm skipping it for now and starting on the gauntlets just as soon as I paint the JP.

Thanks for the comments and I'll post more pics soon.

Excellent project! I have a t-shirt of a Cam Kennedy Boba Fett I purchased at Disneyworld 12 years ago! Good luck with this and I hope to spot you at CV!
