Neo Crusader - A Real Discussion

This looks like it would be great to do. I mean you could leather for it or just some cheapier vinyl from walmart and you can fiberglase the hard parts or make it out of something for flexable. I would love to make one of those helmets. I might try to make some proto-types just to see how they turn out.

Why not use one of these and just mod it a little ?

I know if I was making a Neo Crusader i would.....

Can you turn your head in that though? Maybe you could just mod the heck out of it to make it *movable*?

You would have to do some work yes, but its got the look for sure.... it would be my choice as a starting point.... if i was doing one..

Take a good look at the helmets from KOTOR I/II. There is a long row of what seems like holes for air (similar to the back on the modern) from the chin to bottom of it.

The SWG version is, actually, very inaccurate, and is non-canon from what I have seen.

Just for a small history (as that's what I'm into hehe), the troopers from the games is the regular foot warrior in the Mando'ad infantry. The Canderous Mand'alor armour is his old armour, and some warriors used exactly the same design but in wide range of colours. The latter is easier to make and looks just as good, if not better.

There are others, or the shock troops. The shock troops are the more elite warriors, and wore jet packs and special weapons. You could say they were like the forefathers of ARC troopers in the GAR.

Here's a picture of the shock troops I found in these forums:



The one behind rohlan, it's the same armour as Canderous wears.

That's my 4 kroners.

I've already started on the helmet (seeing as how that is most difficult) and I have most of it done, all but the hard parts pretty much I held it together with pins and it look ok but it collapses. That might change after i finish, but if not, I'll use a few metal strips around the inside to support it.

Discussion and progress has gotten pretty far on the 'ol RPF.

The SWG version, modded crimson guard from the link. It's possible.
