En4cer's Custom Mando Project

I am also starting on a year long custom mando project. I decided to go with an "LSU" custom mando, since we already have a "New Orleans Saints" custom mando in our group. I have included a few drawings of what I am trying to go for. I have already ordered the armor and I have Batninja making the vest for me. Over the next several months, I will order my helmet, belt, scats, pouches and have the helmet professionally painted.

Here is a photo of our resident Saints Mando named Larry. See below:

He also did a Saints clone. See Below:

Here are some updated photos of my custom LSU mando I have been working on. All I need now is a purple jumpsuit and the rangefinder stalk for the helmet which is on order. By the way, I know the stripe in the back seems to be crooked, but that is because the helmet is a little warped. I don't really think people will be paying much attention to the back of the helmet anyway...lol

Well I just received the rangefinder stalk in yesterday, and will be working on installing it in a few days along with the visor. I can't wait to get it all together and see how it turns out. The only thing I really have left to get is a purple flightsuit. By the way, how do you attach the cape to the armor? Thanks! :)
 
The cape is attached to the top left of the collar piece using armor blocks. Best way to make those is to pop 4 keys of the same size (the F keys work best) off a computer keyboard, then flatten the tops and bottoms on a grinder. JB weld you some screws into the left blocks so you can screw them down onto the armor. Poke a couple holes in the cape then put the screws through and bold them down to your armor. The right side you can just epoxy on.
 
I just finished the outside of the helmet and here is what it looks like:

I have everything else except the jumpsuit. As soon as I get some extra money, that will be the last thing I will need to get. :D
