I'm doing this with one of my Mando-minded friends, Getal, who I think is registered here too...
Okay, finally took the steps to get this started! We're using the trash-can armor idea/patterns and ended up fitting a lot of pieces on one large can, and will get two chest medallions on it too (I left that pattern in the van, but found it and will trace it next time). Nothing is cut out yet, but that is the next step. I took a few pics and had some fun with the pieces as is as well. :cheers
I know some of the pieces touch on the can, but I cut the pattern 1/8" larger to allow for some elbow room, so everything should work out in the end. I know right now I'm going to have to do something different for my own chest plates because they will indeed stick out way too far. Even if I find just enough Sintra for the upper chest plates, that will be good enough--just so I can form them better.
I will add more pics later as comp is slow right now, and I also posted this at Mercs as well, but wanted to share the progress with all my Mando friends...
