Thanks "T". 
I'm really pleased with it all so far. I just can't wait to put it all together and actually wear it!
I know this is off topic but I'm having a hard time finding something. I remember a little while back I found a thread that had a downloadable, printable TDH convention badge. The type that hangs from a chain or lanyard. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Anyway, I didn't download it at the time, figured I'd grab it another time. Thing is I can't find it now!! Can anyone link me to it??
It was in the TDH colours and had blank fields if I remember right for members to fill in their details.
I hope I find it.

no offence but in your pics i think you did your P and C wrong in mando'a.

Thanks Mojo.
BloodyGrunt', you mean they're the wrong way around or just wrong?? I downloaded the Mando font and used that so unless it's a typo it should be good.

Nah, I've just checked again, it's right or the font itself was wrong.

That's a font fault then. The "P" looks upside down but the "C" just looks like it's been stylised slightly. Good spot, thanks alot!
I can't remember where I got it to be honest. It was a while ago.

i found out what web site it was and he made it close to the alphabet Karen traviss has but not exact, but at least he did something close.

Oh well. Maybe someone could make a more accurate one eh?

Thanks for that, I'd just taken it for granted that the one I downloaded was correct. We live and learn.
Progress today!!!!
Not as much as I'd hoped but I'm happy. The resin coat I gave much of the armor is proving a real pain to sand so, as a result I need to smooth all the armor over with filler!! So much for a shortcut eh? LOL! That'll teach me.
Still, the chest, back plate, and shoulders are starting to look right!! Those are the parts that I didn't try to cheat on. Thankfully! They still need some filler in places but overall they're very close to primer!
I gave one of the gauntlets a coat of primer to see how much work they may need. I think just "skimming" them with filler will do the trick. That's tomorrows job!
I also have a few things to share regarding my lid. I've now added ear pieces and have started designing my custom RF. Nothing worth showing on it yet though but I have a very clear idea of what I want there. I've also purchased some ELwire!! I've decided I want to incorperate Rep. Commando influence into my gear so I'm gonna fit the wire into my visor just like an RC lid. I'm going for green though to keep the color scheme true. I mentioned before that my guy could have been one of the Mando Training sergeants on Kamino? Well, I'm gonna stick with that. I'm even gonna build a DC-17 as my rifle. Kinda like a Mando upgrading his kit with the latest Republic tech. Plus, I love the DC-17!!
Also, I got me an LED name badge that I'm gonna use for my chest display(when I cut out the slot for it). I've opted for white LEDs.
Phew! There's been more but it's small so not really worth mentioning until I have more. I have pics from today but I can't upload them for some reason. The uploader keeps crashing on my, probably my ****** connection. It's been terrible come the afternoon here.
Thanks guys!

I tried uploading my pics to my photobucket album and that worked so here they are:
It's getting there but you can see it still needs a little filling here and there.

Thanks Mojo.
Yeah, some small areas to smooth over but nothing much. The rest of the armor will be a pain now though as my shortcut didn't pay off. Note to self,"Don't try to take shortcuts!!"
Yeah, my ear pieces are fixed on now but I'm waiting in some Milliput to fill in areas around the new ears. They're looking good though! Really pleased so far.
Tomorrow's jobs include finishing the ears, fresh primer on lid, fit new visor, fill over remaining armor and touch up todays work, fibreglass knees and biceps.
It's great to be back at this!!

I thought of that, and I probably will in some places. Though alot of it doesn't quite look like battered armor, it looks like uneven filler. LOL! I'll be back out there today and see what I can get done.
I'll be going for some dented and damaged spots on the armor but I don't want to over do it.

LOVE the chest armor, very original design, and still very 'boba fetty'

Thanks buddy. Though I'm aiming for Mandalorian in looks. Not a Boba copy.
