I am definitely looking forward to seeing this one done Kal'buir. I am a huge fan of the Republic Commandos!

The claw marks are great, I am doing something similar to mine.

Not much of an update but here is the westar I will use for the costume.

Going to have a holster on my right leg like Jango has. Just for the 1 westar. The cell phone sux at pics but this is what I did.......
Painted the barrel section aluminum and then weather'd it up. The handle looks darker then it is. I went with a wood colored brown then weather'd it up as well.

I used a brown/wood look for the grip cause when I think of Kal (traditional mando, strong mando values and a bit older in yrs) I think of a gun slinger from the wild west. So I made the blaster kinda like how a 6 shooter would look. I thought maken it look a bit more dated would fit the character pretty well.

Next up will be working on the gauntlets and mod'n the left one to hold the 3 sided knife.

Are you planing to build a custom Verp for Kal? Ram Zerimar/Ray Ramirez built the archtype for verps, it's what Kren Traviss used as her inspiration for the gun. Of course, Kal's is custom so I'm sure it's not the exact same as Ram's but, Ram's would give a good foundation for the direction to go. Several members at Mercs have built them as well basically use plywood and PVC pipe.

was going to work on that soon. I have to still do the knees and cod as far as armor goes. just dyed all the leather for the ammo belts 30min ago. Have charcol grey material on order and brown fake leather for the vest too. So I hope by the time thats in that all the armor will be done. have a set of ABS gauntlets that should be at my house soon. So I have quite a bit of work left but should be good to go in a month or so.
