I never played the game; I meant the old Star Wars Galaxy magazine, which was back when the Special Editions were hitting theaters, and speculation about the prequels was everywhere. It changed to Star Wars Collector, but fizzled out soon after TPM hit theaters.
 
ah, i was in 3rd or 4th grade at that time, i was to busy with the movies and playing with the toys to care about anything else.....i feel too young now!
 
Actually I think that Star Wars Insider is improving and becoming more popular, and well written and organized. I especially like the EU stories, in particular last months issue dealing with Kal'buir and the Null ARCs/RC's after Triple Zero. I'll go no further as I'd hate to spoil the story for you, but I highly recommend reading it if possible...The only issue with subscribing to Insider is that it costs $39.95 a year, plus you're a member of the fan club and yada,yada,yada-but I still find it pricey...Oh yeah, nice paintwork on your bucket etc...

Looks great! Save I have one suggestion, slant the eyes a little towards the visor to get rid of the "^__^" effect. It's "cute", but I wouldn't imagine a true mando'ade would apprieciate their helmet design being called such :lol:.
 
Well perhaps if you emphasized the vertical lines off of the edges of the eyes? I think it improves them a little.

I would definitly do the skull and the X. Even if it takes you a few attempts it really adds alot to the bucket! and Hydra was right about the ^ ^ they look more like z's.

I went out and bought that nerf gun today because I liked yours so much. Now if I can get it to look half as good as yours.

anyways keep up the good work :)

thanks everyone!
 
Ahh thanks that would be nice. WTF now you have a scope too :angry Lol your just trying to make me jelous now!!!! Anyways I'll pm you sometime after I paint mine. Thanks bro
 
if you do have me paint it for you, and you want me to put the same scope on, send me an extra $7.00 and i will pick it up and put it on for you. I like to get my work out there!
 
That was my thread! :D I love seeing these costumes getting built! I was going to recast my DP buckets again to paint them in those schemes. :D Good luck!
 
Nothing has been done to the helmet yet, or the rest of the armor yet. Monday is my last day of school, and i have my government final on wednesday and then i am done for good. So lately i have been in school for about 35 hours aweek, and i pull anywere from 24 to 32 hours of work, then some sleep time, social time, and me time, i have no time for my costume. I did however start on the knee armor, i will put my before and after photos up later, im in school right now, and don't have access to the pictures of them.

I want to repaint the helmet fully. i want to do a lot more detail on it. I only have silver paint for weathering and i want the two or three colors that should be on the weathering effect. I want to repaint all the armor pieces to.

I got my guantlets from bloodsports studios, and i wish i didnt. I paid more for them then i would pay for ruffkintoys, but for some reason i thought they were around $200.00. So i dont know what i will do for those...(n) :confused

i have a thing with the helmet, i painted the x on the helmet when i first painted it. and what i did was taped off the area where the x would be, and after i removed the paint, there would be this...like little wall of paint along the x and that made me want to remove it. Can anyone tell me what i should do to prevent this from happening and making it look professional?


ok i am rambelling now........:facepalm
 
ok.....it took me like an hour to find this gun, due to the school's internet filter! Paint this up and mod it and u have a nice rocket launcher or a rifle or something...
