Custome mando Idea

i liked pic 3 by the way. Your scetch looks good for gold. I have seen a similar color style here before, i forget who did it and it turned out awsome!
 
Looks good. :cheers I'd consider adding some leg armor just to bring your colors down more to the lower body. Also, you may want to throw in a few splashes of other colors to break it up a bit. That could just be small add-on details though.

Glad I could help. :D Tough decision, but either project sounds good to me. I will admit that I'd love to see this custom costume come together. :love
 
To me, the gold version looks too "comic-style Batman". I really like that black, blue, and green version you did though. That one's sweet!

Zoe, if you coul dpull this one off for CE then i would definately go for it. This costume would just look so cool.

BTW i love the heels idea (would you be able to walk around all day in those though?)

Gold, black and grey looks really nice as well.
Have you seen Rose's thread on this ? http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=18079

just a few extra ideas for the fem-mando theme.

I would love to do both...but I am going through major cash flow probs at the mo as I practically have no job :( so it could end up that I cant do either :cry If I can though I will try and do both.
I have just got my new TK 409 vest for boba (all baught before I was told that there wes next to no job for me)
Roses mando reminds me of a mando Stifler's Mom!!
I dont think I would have high heels as then I would look like a giant!! mb some 1 or 2 inch heels...and prob tot stilettos though....too wibbly:lol:
I am prob going to club ngiht this friday if I can get to marks, im going to ask peoples opinion there to see what they think.

Thanks for everyones inputs though it really helps....just need to decide on the colour scheme!!

if i were you, i'd concentrate one just one of the Fett costumes and your custom mando would turn more heads than a Boba anyday. As for the budget issue, my orginal version was built on a shoe string by making the armour from an old wheelie bin and things like that. May be you could use bits of your existing costume for your custom ( i am sure that holster would look wicked on your fem mando).

i think 1 or 2" heels would do the trick :lol: high heels always remind of death traps :lol:

i don't think i can make the meeting on Friday night as i have to pick my daughter up from her mums - soz

:lol: :lol: :lol: They are!! thats why I always wear trainers!! Shame about clud night :(

I think i am going to consentrate on my boba then If I have time do this custom...but im still guna do some designs!! maybe the mockup clay versions, but im not going to give up on it!!!
 
i know what you mean. One project is enough to keep you occupied :) . Once i have the current version of my Fett done, i need to turn all my attention to my wookiee costume (i started it but Fett takes priority). Then i need to make Kathys mando. I want to give it a really feminine feel with lots of 'fine denier' panels over it. I think this will then give the armour a much more hard and worn look.

anyway Fett is calling :lol: . The Norwich club asked if i were going on Friday night (even though i have not renewed my membership), the trouble is all my costume is in roughly the same shape as Dan's at the moment (ie in bits being repainted and upgraded).

Hopefully see you again soon though
 
Just some extra colour experiments on the black and gold idea, tell me what you think... the second pic is actually dark purple on the armour....not blue as it looks

Zoe,

I really like the one w/ the nice deep purple. The smaller details are coming along nicely too. The wrapped parts on the arms and waist are an excellent touch. Also, the chains that drape down I've liked all along. I wonder how it would look w/ a bit more gold added back in. Just a little. Maybe on the mandibles of the helmet to reclaim some of that 2-tone look?

That looks really great! I've just started working on a female mando armor myself and i'm very encouraged with what you've came up with. I was looking at doing either one in camo or a black and gold one.. wow. Those look great! It seems a lot harder for women to stay women in the costuming world without looking too...hmm..what's the word..i guess without having to look like a hooker. You've done a great job keeping your costume respectful and sexy at the same time! Good job.. can't wait to see your finished product!!
 
K - this is just constructive criticism but...

Why the need to "Paris Hilton" it up so much?

I mean - don't get me wrong - sexy is good. Mandalorian women can/should be sexy. I would think they would be anyway. Warrior women usually are intriguing as a rule if not just drop dead HOT by nature.
Anyway - believe me - I'm the phtographer and organizer in charge of putting together a calendar of sportbike riding women for charity and the theme is "sexy - not slutty" - so I understand how good sexy can be. But...

But I'd just on instinct think they'd be TOUGH sexy. Like... I don't know...
Romulan-esque ruthless sexy with a hint of Klingon TEAR YOUR ESPOHPHOGUS OUT if you make them mad sexy... but sort of Starship Troopers movie/Dizzy Flores looking hot in armor ora sports bra able to watch your back but still able to KICK YOUR BUTT tough sexy... but with that little glimmer of "oh believe me - I'm more woman than you can handle" sexy too.

Like you would be scared of them... but turned on by them at the same time. That can easily be done without showing midrift or body-glove type materials to accentuate the female form.

I'm just thinking... Mandalorians are Mandalorians. If the women are warriors too - you'd tend to think they'd be just as conscious of their armor/armaments as the men.

I guess I'm thinking more like ... Tusken Raiders / Tusken women. Different - but similar really.

Just free style thought. Disregard as you see fit.

I take everything onboard as it all helps with the design process, not to happy bout the paris hilton bit tho....it aint that bad is it (i mean I doubt you would see this mando with a little dog under her arm...:lol: )

I just think that a mando female would fight just as well as a bloke, but im sure they would still want some personal touches to the armour... its not like im thinknig of blinging it up loads with gold chains or big gems, the gold isnt there as a status thing..or as bling...just a colour scheme that I thought looked different...and many mandos have capes around thier waists...just bacl and gold didnt look right so its been made purple...im not saying that I dont take critisism well....im just trying to defend my ideas/unicorn princess' inputs...

Zoe
pics are of some pics of pistold I found which I though looked intesting...tell me what you think!!

Hey, the S&W P99! That's the Bond gun! Ok not the first Bond gun, but it's been used since "Tormorrow Never Dies". The Walther PPK was the one before that, but the first was a Beretta, but I can't remember what model. It was only on screen for the first part of "Doctor No" I think.

I would suggest taking the red dot sight and the silencer off, but the light and the rail system is fine. If you do want a long barrel like Jango's Westars, then keep the silencers but I would suggest making them more sturdy. Those airsoft silencers are probably flimsy plastic; easily breakable.
 
I personally don't think their's anything wrong with your idea. I think women are naturally more comfortable in tighter fitting clothing then men are, and really thats what it boils down to: what's comfortable for you. You are the one who will be seen in it, and it's a representation of your imagination and creativity.

Those guns are nice. Airsoft guns are the way to go.
