My New Style Mando Armour

I agree that brown looks better than the gray. The gray reminded me of primer, plus the brown goes with the other earth tones whereas the gray did not. I like the logo. It looks like a different kind of scope reticle. Very original. :cheers Great work! Are you planning on doing solid clothing or camo? I think solid would look best. More camo would make it too busy looking unless it looked like the entire thing, armor, clothing, soft parts & all were designed as one piece. Either way you go, it will be good. Awesome work on the paint job!!!(y)

Keep us posted man.
 
Thanks all you coments, I love reading them. Yes hunter the main body will be one solid colour. I have a few things more to add to the outfit before its complete. A few things also coming in the post, like my Gauntlets from Bradleyfett. And my Ammo belt from elswhere. Im just waitng for these items to arrive. I will post some pics of my Back Half-Plate when im off work on Monday.... so you all have a great Weekend..............
 
Well it's been another day working on my Armour, I have now cut out my Back Half-Plate and primed it black. This will be used with a ghillie type drape hanging from it down my lower back to the back of my shins.. Here is the pic of the H-Plate....

I have been giving the cod piece idea some thought. Well the standard cod armour is kind of used over and over again for Mando's, but don't get me wrong, they look great. As a Sniper I think a modifided cod is needed, well for my outfit that is...... so I have decided to try out something that works for me... The drawing done on my laptop, which I have added to this post... In the design you will notice that there are sections of the cod that is sitting on a blue type mesh. That mesh will be part of my ghillie, the smaller sections of the cod that are in camo paint job will be hot glued to the ghillie. This will give movement to the cod. This will help if I need to hit the deck fast, while targeting an ememy........

Well it's a rainy day here in the UK, so It was time to work on my Cod Armour.. I have now drawn out the design and cut it out of the sintra.. I have drawn on the cod to show were I will cut out the one inch sections that will be loose fitted to the netting... here's how it looks so far....

I have just finished my Sniper Mando Helmet. I have just lined the inside with 3mm thick foam, and blackened the rim area. And I have also layered the checks with 3 layers of the foam, so it will not move around too much when being worn. Well the Armour will also be finished, when I have completed the cod section... here is some pics of the indside of the Helmet completed..
