My mandalorian armor progress

I am making some great progress guys.

DAMN T-Visor.com ships fast. I ordered on monday and got it today. So definately shopping from them again.

Anyways, here is the helmet with the visor in.

hmm. that cape pretty much rocks Joker!

id say lose the alice gear (at least the m16 pouches) looks to normal. or cut off the grenade slings on them....
 
I have been pretty busy lately, but now schools out and I have started again in prep for comic con.

The vest is in its final stages. Thank my mom for being a master sewer.

I extended the dome of my helmet because the original dome was very uncomfortable.

the extended dome makes the helmet look better. Some of the previous shots made the dome seem a little small. Nice weathering
 
Big exciting update

The vest is now done. Thank my mom for a wonderful job and a bunch of money saved.

The helmet is being prepped for molding.
 
Really liking that vest, man. Any chance for pictures of the sides? I'm interested in the cinch straps. Are the sides sewn closed and the straps used to tighten it to make it more form fitting? Likewise, are the angle seams in the lower back area to increase the v-shape? Closure at the back of the neck is Velcro? I like the padding--what thickness is the batting used?

Thanks. Well done.
 
Your mum did a fantastic job on the vest, it looks very cool! Can't wait to see the whole thing finished! 8)
 
Thanks for the comments guys. The whole thing will be done right before comic con.

All I need to finish are the gauntlets, get the flightsuit, make the shin armor and holster.

But the holster is optional and not too necesary.I actually am in the process of buying a coyote tan flightsuit. No backplate on this one as it will be a waste of precious armor making time.
 
id say lose the alice gear (at least the m16 pouches) looks to normal. or cut off the grenade slings on them....

IMO....I have to agree with BHs' suggestion of "cut off the grenade slings...." and to add to it cover/remove up the "US".Prehaps if you have some more of the tan color dust some on your pouches and belt to give it a desert weathered look.
Just some suggestions and input.You have done a great job on your outfit it just needs a little tweaking.....IMO
 
Oh, no, the mag pouches wont even be used on this. I just didnt want to take them off for a few pictures. I am going as a navy seal on sunday at comicon so I need the pouches on by then. Otherwise, they are gonna come off.
 
okay... it looks pretty darn good! Honestly tho... my first thought was holy cow! all that damage and he's still alive! lol
