NEW! Custom Bounty Hunter Costume

it's just all the space between the hard parts, you can change the shape of the ab plate and add side plates.... I highlighted what is in NEED of change, its because of vulnerability, not looks.
I made you a rough "sketch" in paint. You can try it if you like it.

The shoulder bells and ab plate I printed off of the internet from a zip file that was posted on Mando Mercs. The chest plates I made on my own. It maybe a little more peaces of armor but I'll give it a try. Thanks a bunch adonian. If it does not work I'll go with the traditional I see flying around here and probally add my own little twist to it LOL!
 
Well; I have decided to go traditional with the chest plates. Printed out the templates, darkened the lines, cut them out and then traced them on the cardboard and finally cut them out. Might I add looks good even if they are PS2 cardboard boxs. Here are the photos.

Tomorrow I am shooting to getting the neck armor and the ab armor done. Not going to go with cod armor but it will still look good. And as for the gauntlets and boots something will soon be posted up of those as well. So stay looking my friends.
 
Oh yeah; after printing the templates out I test fitted them with the ab plate template and they worked fine. Then after cutting the chest plates out with the medallian I did another test fit to make sure it was right and ready. And sure enough it came out great.

And thanks BH.....though not much is happening I feel like I am getting some stuff accomplished :D
 
So figuring that the armor peaces are nearing the final stages (almost). I decided to move forward and see what I can come to grips with mandalorian gauntlets. I know many of you had said shin guards would work and I even had a few ideas of using gatorade bottles, water bottles, and even cardboard. Someone said to buy it from the Bobamaker guy.

But there was a problem concerning with that. I enjoy restriction as much as the next person but I am a person that has to have at least some movement in my arms and around my hands. So I told myself "mandalorian style gaunts wont work so well at this moment." So I decided to try something new.

Looking around the house I came across a wrapping that came from a costume that I wore during Halloween last year and figured that would work as something for my mando armor. So I went ahead and took some pictures along with trying it on. It fit well and looked good by the way I was looking at it. Here are the photos.

I know there is someway to make a good pair of mandalorian gauntlets but I found no other way of using cardboard or gatorade bottles (which I don't have any to make gaunts). So I figured to give this a try out for a gauntlet idea. It seems to fit well but we will just have to see.
 
Cool; that's what I was hopping for. I may need to get some more information of mandalorian gauntlets. There is a possibility that I'll snag two gatorade bottles and just make a pair of gaunts out of them. Not sure of what I can do....but where there is a will there is a way.
 
well you can make the template ones.

pretty sure its way easier for you if you get the 9 dollar franklin gauntlets from wallmart

heres a pic:

Gp buy 2 of the fat powerade bottles (3 bucks max) chop the top and bottom off, add some padding, then paint to your desired color. :)
 
You know Fractal-Fett; some people told me that for gatorade bottles they work well. So I may just do that. Might require some drinking of the powerade but hey it is worth it LOL! Might become something of use for me. I wont be adding those things on the top but hey it will work.
 
its just a rope. it was those colors when i bought it. its sewn to a black fabric with buckles in the back. check out the JAX RETURNS thread
 
You might want to consider tearing up some old toys, one of the mercs members fund a great part on a G.I.Joe Side car that looks like a double barrel shotgun mounted on their otherwise plain gauntlets. :p
