If you cant tell cause my cell stinks. that armor is PINK and WHITE

all in all excellent day. had about 12 people working on armor, and about 9 sets of armor actually built. most at about 50% and two at 75% stage.

very good day. I'm glad that you all let me share my building knowledge with you. Its always a blast!!! My hands are sore from pounding lots of armor. and a few of you have really cool designs no one has done before!

cant wait to see final build.

***note***

that is not her vest. its my hydra vest just to check plate positions. they are off in this picture. they DO line up correctly. trust me.

this is a coat of primer and a coat of red primer than a coat of this dark tan color. will add white, prolly blue (501st dark), green and another coat of the dark tan than the 3 coats of the final top coat which will be regular Tan.

this armor will be replacing her leather plates which i don't like so she can have a kit that will match my desert mando with leather plates that you've all seen by now.

more weathering between messages.

whats more impressive, is the 12yo girl who's the daughter of a buddy mando who, after me showing her how to do it, she sewed her own vest and finish pounding out her armor and painted and weathered it all on her own. she was even sewing other mando vests at the mando party in addition to myself.

she rocks! (shes the black and green mando a few posts up)
