It's me again. :b Just wanted to share some more pics of my armor.
Knees, cod and torso armor are JD fiberglass.
The knees are from JD's new molds.

:fettrotj
yes..I do too love the logo on the chest armor. Very nice........is that idea patented? :lol That gives me a great idea when i do my custom gonzo mandalorian. The gonzo logo would be awsome there!
Can't wait to see more photos. Mesir like!
Thanks to all for the compliments. :)
The battle damage was made using the liquid mask over silver ,then the skull was traced on the armor over a base coat of Testors Titanium metalizer. I then painted on liquid mask over the drawing. . It turned out pretty good i think. Kinda like it was burned into the armor plate.
No. it's not patented. :lol I traced the design from a vinyl decal i applied to my first set of trash can armor.
Full costume pics to follow later.. ;) I'm ready for Halloween. :cheering
:albino

Target sighted. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...cture_0331.jpg
Yes. It's a Modified Grievous blaster and a Rubies Jango bucket. All i could come up with for right now.
I have to thank JD for allowing me to come down and learn how to make fiberglass armor. Without him, i would still be in trash can armor.
You Rock JD. :cheering Thank you. :thumbup
I want to thank all the people on the board that have helped me out and for posting all the tips and tutorials on TDH. You people are great. :)
Most of all i thank my wife :love for her patience and understanding (putting up with me :lol ) while making this costume in less than 4 months.
She's she best. :)

Loooooking good! :thumbsup
Nice dude, that armor is tight. Yay another custom to join the family.
your armor really looks kick :moon !!
may I ask what sort of gloves you are using? They look really skin tight. Looks really good actually.
Thanks for the compliment. :)
Honestly. I can't remember the brand name. I got the gloves from work.
It's a rubber/latex type coated palm with a fabric spandex? type material. I took some acetone on a rag and removed the logo that was on the back.

I am also considering doing a custom Mando. I am kinda afraid to take on Boba because I know how some people can get about accuracy. I will probably do an accurate Darth Vader and Stormtrooper in the future. Anyway, an idea I had for the gun was to modify the new G.I.Joe Sigma 6 gun. It is pretty cool and with the right amount of TLC I think it would be a cool Mando custom. I may get one this week and try some things. I will have to post some picks.
Thanks to all for the compliments. :D
Have a few tweaks/mods to do to this one and am considering attempting an ESB fett next. ;)
:albino
Sweet! Looks bloody great! :cheering You need to go bounty hunting!....GO NOW!.
Well done dude, keep up the good work 8)
DA :fettrotj
Looks great, one day Customs will rule. The blaster looks cool, maybe just paint the orange part black, or silver for a weathering effect.
Xantok
Some new pics for ya. Version 1.5. Yes.. I still have the Rubies bucket.
A new JD helmet is in the works as well as some custom blasters.;)
I have not weathered the jumpsuit yet.

It's still a work in progress. Does it ever end? :lol
:) Jun Garros, that looks awesome!!
The white is very sharp. Looks great.
AWESOME! one question though, what do you use to put it on your clothes!?
I believe Jun uses snaps if I remember correctly from AdCon. It's one of the three common ways to attach armor (Velcro and Nuts/Bolts being the other 2). Although it can be a pain getting everything lined up right, I use snaps and will probably continue to do so as they are just super strong.
