My First Armor!!

Yeah I guess i should tellyou guys that i dind't paint all my scars. Most of them are accidental from where i was cutting. thats one of the reasons i didn't want to paint the whole thing lol. I knew i couldn't paint anything better than actual damage. And sice it's steel you can do that. You'll notice that there are a few indents in the sides and burn marks(most natably on the left shoulder) that weren't intentional, but i left them because, well they look awsome lol.
 
Oh another cool thing with steel like this is that you can use real rust! I've been working on my really old car(putting in new muffler) and got a good bit of rust residue, it rained and presto! Rust stain. Worked really well for blaster marks and cut on my chest.
 
Hey I haven't posted in awhile. Don't know if anyone really cares, but here you go. Ummm. I think I'm gonna change the color scheme. I don't know though. what do you guys think? Origonal or new?

Here's my leg armor. Got to put on straps and might repaint but so far so good. The right thigh plate is missing the middle so i can have a pocket therelike on boba's flight suit. The right shin gaurd comes up to the top of my knee. sorry about the size of the picture. I know how to change it, but the program isn't working right now.

Alright here's some more pics. My back armor. The green isn't the right shade, but I change it later. The vest is not the vest i'm gonna use. It's just for padding.

This looks great! Have you found a flight suit yet? That might help you decide on a color scheme. I found that my colors fell into place as I found the other pieces of the costume. Can't wait to see the neo-crusader bucket. I used part of their symbol as the stencil on my armor.
 
Ummm I haven't posted in.... wow, a long time. Well, armor is not done, but its close, well actually it might never be done, but V.1 is almost done. It's hard to get stuff done at collage. Here's an older pic, but gives an example of my kit. I'll finish it this summer when i go home.

Yea the college things really sucks for Mando building, LOL. I just starting checking the old haunts out again today. I'm going to try to finish mine by March... Yours looks way good. I'm happy with mine too, but mine's ABS/Plastic/Rubber. I really like how your metal looks.

 
the only qualm i have with my armor is its thickness. Its a problem with metal armor for obvious reasons. Some other members have bent down the extra metal at the edges to give it more depth.
1. I didn't have extra
2. I didn't think of it lol
You get lots of good ideas from here its great. I still need a helm. Thats what i want most and its about all i have left to get... I'm debating getting a Jango Rubies, despite Rubies general suckiness, I've seen some good helms come from the Jangos with a little help.
 
looking good vod hopefully soon we can send in those applications for the mercs lmao
your bucket design is gonna be awsome cant wait to see it all come together
