My Mando Armor-WIP

just my opinion.. but i would drop the shoulder holster... keep the 2 thigh holsters though... if you want some upper body accesories id go with a kabar style knife mounted upside down on the left upper chest/shoulder area where ou simply reach across and pull it out... im pretty sure that the marines do that when they're issued a knife... maybe add a sheath to one of the boots as well... could also get a tactical vest and modify the armor to fit to that...
 
Dont take this personally but those are softair guns, not airsoft. Are you planning on putting some Famas mags inside those thigh pouches because they will not fit.

I've thought about the shoulder knife knife set up as well, and I've been switching between either one. Not entirely sold on either yet. I've also thought about getting a tactical vest and reworking it with the armor. I've seen some with the up-side down shoulder sheath and a cross draw, but I'm not sure. Actually, the belt I showed has a holster, so I could use that instead.

As for the leg pouches, no I wasn't expecting them to fit. If I can find a leg pouches that would fit FAMAS mags I would get it.

And please forgive my lack of knowledge, but what's the difference between airsoft and softair?
 
could also go full metal jacket and write born to kill on yout camo helmet with a peace sign on the other side... ut a band around the brim and stick some 7.62 cartridges in it... lol... actually... i like this idea... i may do it.. lol
 
7.62? That's an AK-47 round I think.
The Nam M-16's shot 5.56
I have always heard em referred to as . 223
i might be wrong.
 
The 7.62 was used in the M14 rifles that soldiers used in basic, and some snipers used as well. A FMJ just refers to a type of bullet, it's illegal for civilians to own a FMJ bullet (atleast here in CA, where almost all guns are illegal). Basically it means an armor peircing round.
 
FMJ bullets are illegal for civilian use, I think US nation wide. Police (if not all police, then just SWAT) and military are of course allowed.
 
its illegal to have a functional one... you can own almost anything as long as it doesnt work... im thinking about taking deactivated grenades and modifying them to look like thermal detonators
 
Hahah the Full Metal Jacket he is referring to is the Stanley Kubrick movie titled Full Metal Jacket. An excellent movie by the way.

My mistake!:eek:
 
The 7.62 round comes in two forms, 7.62x39 and 7.62x54....or maybe its 7.62x51, I dont remember. Either way, the shorter round is whats commonly known as the AK round, and the longer one is the more powerful version that was used in bigger battle rifles like the M14 and FAL. The m16 used a completely different and much smaller round (.223 or 5.56mm)

I like your idea of using a FA-MAS as a custom Fett gun....that might just turn out well. I was thinking about modifying an old Ruger MkIV to look similar to Jango Fett's pistol. It already has a similar appearance, so it shouldnt be too hard.

**Oh and as far as I know, at least here in Texas, full metal jacketed rounds are not illegal. I hope not at least, because I have about 500 of them in my closet with my AK47 :)
 
HA HA! I finally have an update! Alas, no armor. However I am in the semi-finals for the legs, body, and arms. After modeling the legs, I had to fix the body to match, so it's a bit different from what you last saw. For the arms, I just scaled it up to match the modifed body and the new legs. I'm not to worried about the accuracy of the legs and body to real limbs since I'm foing to fix it look more like "fabric" later on, or at least a tad larger in size to make it look like it's over the real legs, then put the armor on top.
Anyways, I'll deal with that later. I'm also adding 2 profile pics so you can see the main shape of the body. Any and all suggestions would be helpful, and crack jokes are also welcome :cheers
