New Project (Cade Skywalker)

is that from.... from my templates????..... cause that armor is awsome!!! first time other then my own armor i have seen a mando style that isn't fett

but are the templates form the one's i made?
 
Yes, I started with those templates, and changed the sizing a little bit once I printed it out as I had them too small. I also decided to colour the triangles on rather than cut them out.
 
that picture of the armor looks very sexy! I will admit I am only 13 and I want to make a Cade costume because it won't be as hard my Mando custom! IN issue 6 it has a great shot of Cade's backplate, I'm gonna see if I can get that uploaded!
 
Shatir.... yea made this old smuggler proud.

that is awsome armor. Anything need tweaking on the templates you think?
i prefer the drawn on black, look beter personaly.

once again, made this old smugler very happy. Any other armor temps i should make? i;m no WoL but if they worked out thsi good i may start doin more!
 
Since I took this pic, I looked at issue 3 closer, and I have shortened the pieces leading to the shoulder straps a bit, and cut them on an angle. You might want to check that out in the comic and adjust your template if you feel it warrants it. I only have up to issue 4, so if I could see some references from 5 or 6 of the back piece that would be great. I had to pretty much guess from looking at the bits you see of it in issue 3.
 
here it is. I have a couple picks. the first one makes it look like there is a plate underneath the backplate. The other one shows Cade after he picks up a lightsaber.8)

dude go for the first style back plate. since the front has "scales" you shuld make the back a 2 peice also. it would keep the semetery and feel
 
Well, I made the back in one piece. My first attempt was way too small, so I made a larger one. I can always go back and add on the smaller peice as well, but I think I'll probably just stick with the one. I really wish comic book artists would just define what a character looks like and keep it that way, however.
 
are you guys the only kade costumes made so far?... sorry it's a nice feelin that i made the templates... i done know why just pride i guess but if the only Kade's at C4 are you guys then i;m stoked!!

i to want pics man! in costume or lade out or somethin. and what u do about his shotgun?
 
I started looking for good pics of his gun on wookiepedia (because I dont have my comics with me right now) and I ended up reading about the Sith! You spelled Cade's name wrong

I won some shins off the big auction site. I'm almost finished the armour. I repainted it, but I need to add buttons and side straps. I'll probably get some red material for the sash and wristwraps tomorrow. I'll get some pics up when the armour is fully complete.
 
honestly i would do leather for the wrists yea i cant wait to get my big ole cowboys(tombstone joke) sash that was my favorite part of the costume besides the belt

If you take a look at the pics posted above, you can see that the arm wraps are:
1) form fitting/skin tight
2) shiny red, hard to achieve with dye
3) one long strip wound around the arm, that's a bleeping long piece of leather
4) if it were leather, it would take away so much wrist movement

Go ahead and try leather if you like, but I defend some sort of shiny silk or other fabric for the wraps.
