Kal's Custom Mando

Hagen, Ord'ika copy all... wife said everything will be enr tomorrow at the latest.

@C1RCA: The pistol. I'm thinking about doing up a DC-15S carbine though. My mando's timeline puts him right around the clone wars so it's an option. I'm also thinking about doing a custom DC-15A/DLT-19 type rifle, with a chopped down barrel and some other personalized features. I'll get a sketch up when I can.

For all the vode out there with leatherworking experience... what's the best leather to use for a holster set and how do I cut/punch/sew it? I've got some extra time on my hands between work and I'm thinking I might wanna make my holster/pouch set while I have the time. Prevent myself from being idle and all that.

My advice would be go to Tandy's leather Leathercraft and Leather Craft Supplies - Tandy Leather Factory and pick up on of thier beginers kits. They also have kits for holsters and other things if one of them looks like a match for what you want. As far as leather I'd say you'd want 5 to 7 oz for holsters. Don't quote me on that though since I'm a part timer beginer with working with leather.

Have a good one,
Hagen
 
yeah I asked the question of tandy as to what tools/leather I would need to do a "cowboy action holster" as I need to make one of those too, I figure whatever works for that would work for this as well. So I'm thinking I'm going to add a DC-15S/DC15-A as my primary blaster and throw in GAR ruck w/ a comm pack on the side for the "recon" design. I'm also planning on mounting my DC-17 pistol (from Brail) on the chest and doing a couple of shoulder mounted pouches like Ghes Orade has w/ micro dets going over the shoulder.
 
OK, so I have help with gaunts, and the deece... Brail's got a cod piece I'm negotiating on. Now all I need are knees, a flightsuit and vest. Anybody know where I can scrounge these up from?
here's a list of prices for RKD's knee kits , if you still need it:

Fett style mando'a knee plates -
Prices are as follows - (as usual all kits will come rough trimmed) Each kit consists of 2 knee assemblies
Unassembled, rough trimmed kit - $35 plus S&H
Unassembled, finish trimmed kit - $45 plus S&H
Assembled, finish trimmed kit - $70 plus S&H
Assembled, finish trimmed, sanded and primed (ready to paint) kit - $75 plus S&H
 
yeah I'll have to look into getting a pair shortly... I still need to pay you for that cod plate too Brail... I'll do that shortly I'm locked out of my paypal right now :S lol
 
also... tandy leather sent me some great info on how to do everything I need to do for the holster so, I'll be ordering that stuff in the next few days. Hopefully they'll ship to an APO. lol
 
Got your guants in the other day Kal, expect a pm from me either tomorrow or friday with so questions and an outline of what I'm going to do with them.

Have a good one,
Hagen
 
A'den! He's alive! lol Just got back from yet another deployment... hopefully I'll have a little time home to work on my kit this time. I still haven't gotten my helmet finished up yet.

Any updates on the contract parts guys?
