My Custom Mando Armor... "ONE END"

ONE END

A few weeks ago I decided what I was going to make My armor out of and so I did... I got a storage box and went at it.

Sorry not much for typing but you meet me in person I wont shut up.

So here she is...

Working on Gauntlets next!

Hope you like it!
 
**** that´s nice! I love the color scheme with the green in front and the yellow/black on the sides! Great touch!

Curious how it looks like with vest and suit. Show us bro!

;-)
 
i really love the nerf guns too! those mavericks are pretty commonly turned into steampunk type guns but nice to see them on a mando. it might looks different when its all assembled and worn but any spots of yellow in the middle to tie the sides in?
 
Gauntlets are completed!


I scratch built these bad boys in a couple of days with the help of Josh on the Left Gauntlet! Oh and Thanks Bro for the Bondo! You have got to see these things!

Any way here they are.

Velcro... Tell me it's going to melt off the moment I walk outside in our Az. Weather....

Your the one I was about to contact about this topic, but you beet me to the Enter key... I'm about to Epoxy the Velcro to the vest as well as the Velcro to My plates...

What do you think?
 
ive come to find industrial velcro is NOT your friend in AZ.

you can use the sew-on industrial velco on the soft parts. that works fine. and the sticky velcro mostly will not come off the armor in the heat.
 
looks great! i use a molle vest as well, i bolted my plates to it.

i like the look of the set, it's been fun to watch it come together, and quickly i might add! i see you're waiting on a girthbelt, that or a sah to tie together the middle and you're in business.

very nice!
 
If you are worried about the heat melting any glue, try E6000, you may need to clamp the item on whilst it dries, but it is awesomely strong stuff. Used for glueing gems into jewellery, so it's industrial strength!

Great work by the way!
