Kyr'am Galaar armour

Kyr am Galaar

Active Hunter
this will be my progress thread for the new armour i am making. here is my concept, and i will be starting on the armour very soon. i have an old plastic water drum which i intend to use for the chest and back armour.

if anybody is interested in the beckstory for this character, im working on it, and will try to answer anybodies questions.

Vor'e everybody for their help with the first helm i made.

That's a very cool color scheme, I like it a lot! And the helmet will look really cool with that red visor. Have you got the helmet done? I'll be watching this thread for all the progress. Keep it up man!
 
i made my first helmet last week. it didnt turn out as smooth as i had hoped, but painted it up to look like my characters grandfather's helmet. now i know how to build it properly, ill start another. i had a bit of trouble with the fiberglass.

better luck next time i expect.

vor'e for the comment. the red visor is my dream.
 
the extreme edges may need bending in a touch just to fit properly, but its almost 90% there.

not sure about dents, but there are going to be scratches and gouges in it.
 
i have a question about the flak vest that the armour is attached to. would a black t-shirt work if i put seat belt webbing in strips on the inside to support the holes for the bolts?

Well it's your custom, so I'd say its your call as to if it looks good. But whether or not it'd be functional, I have no idea. Trial and error?
 
Well depending on your budget, I would HIGHLY recommend one of LadySewforus's vests. They are fantastic quality and dye-able(I think). But that really just depends on your budget.

But do keep up the good work, and I love seeing progress pics.
 
cut out the back plate yesterday, and did a bit of bending using a paint stripper gun to heat up the plastic. painted it with primer, and given it a coat of silver to make the metal under the paint.
