My Designs - Ogden Caahl

I think colors are final, and I'm actually about to order my weapons.

This one was done over a picture of Boba Fett which is probably more acurate than my drawing Proportion-wise. So the mantle will probably not hide as much when actually made.

I tell you what, I never expected to do as much as I have with this costume before I signed up here.

My idea for doing the mantle:

Thinking of snaps for the back to make it easy to remove, but more secure than velcro.

Anyone have ideas for his Backpack? I'm not sure I wanna go with a jet pack... thinking more of a survival pack of sorts.
 
I think the mantel should be a bit more of an ovle that way more of the sholder gets coverd. But wait tell you make a mock up and see where that goes.

As for a backpack how about something like the snowtrooper backpacks.
 
The circle will be easier to cut. But that IS why I offset the neck hole, that will cause the shoulders to stick out a bit more and the back to be longer. Which wouldn't happen with an oval.

About 7 inches in front and close to 9 on the shoulder(Which I measured to be close to correct, albeit without any armor underneath).

The image isn't prefectly acurate. Not sure if the neck hole is too big/small.
 
Ah I see now that you did offset that hole. I didn't catch that earlier. That would work better then an Oval.

I had a thought about your rifle as well. You mentiond using an XM-8, which I assume you would build up. So that it looks like the one in your first drawing. If that is the case. I think you would be better off modding a 9-mm hand gun. It would work much better as a base. This one perhaps, minus the silly scope.

Edit: It was bugging me what that gun looked like and I finaly nailed it down. It looks sort of like the long barreled luger. Take a look that would be an even better base.

Prop guns are my big hobby. I think the stock could easily be made from PVC pipe. Or if you have local gunsmiths they may have some cast off stocks laying around that you could pick up for cheap. (Gunshows would work too.)

Single Points (that is the type of scope you got on there) can be made for less then 3 dollars if your crafty. You can also get resin ones and real ones.
 
Yeah I thought that'd be cool, have a retractable stock.

I've hit my first snag though... it seems that site is out of stock of that gun :( I am very upset because they had it for cheap. And they havethe other guns I planed on getting.

I have a question for everyone: What is the significance of the shoulder emblem? The Mythosaur? is it common for all mandalorians?
 
Saldy it seems every site is either Out Of Stock, or they haveit but for twice the price. And noneof them have the pistol I want(Other than Hobbytron)

Oh well... It's not like I'm in a big hurry. I'll keep a look out.

I'm thinking of giving his right gauntlet a spring-loaded "vibroblade".
 
It does look a little South Parky...

I hope no one's getting tired of seeing these design sketches but no actual costume...

Anyways, here's a quick design of how I plan to have the wrist-blade work/look

I'm still trying to work out a release catch that can be easily worked with the same hand as the gauntlet's on.
 
Thanks :D So that's his Right Gauntlet. I plan on his kleft being a standard flamethrower one... Unless I come up with any more ideas that is.

Oh, and I've settled on a gun for his carbine:

A change of barrels and a bit more modding and I think it'll work just fine, if not be just like the other one. I'll be ordering it and the other one tonight.

Does anyone know where I can buy the vent fins like Boba has on his rifle? I remember seeing a site a while back but it doesn't appear that I bookmarked it :(
