Roki's Armor Thread (armor 85% finished!)

This'll basicly be the thread i post everything in.. obviously.

Here's the bit so far. Only thing i've got finished so far is the gun, and i've got my gloves. MS Custom helmet is on the way (thanks MS !!! (y)(y)). I'll be doing a 'heavy' Mando. Almost like Jango.. but with a few more pieces.

I'll post a bit more about the kit as things progress, so without further adue..
PICS (pic size can be trimmed if nesessary)

I'm guessing the gloves are crushguants, what did you use to make them?

Oh and this is just a preferance thing on my part, but I would remove the longshot logo. Sand it down then use a dremel to etch something else into it.

Have a good one,

Nope.. not altered at all. Purchased them as-is from a 3rd party seller on Amazon. There isnt even a brand-name tag on them that i can find. But whoever made them (i THINK they're Icon biker gloves), realy knows how to make a pair of gloves. Under all the armored pieces (which are just thin polished stainless) there are air vents. The wrist armor you see isnt all of it, theres one more plate that goes over the bottom of your wrist as well. I'll get some more pics of them posted after my camera's batteries re-charge.
 
Better shots of the gloves. The pics dont show it very well.. but the red hue you see.. isnt part of the scheme. Not about to dink with color levels to get rid of it. The stitching tho.. is a light yellow color as shown.

damn fine gloves son id loc=ve to find me a set of them those ive see nthem before from other members those should be a standard basis for crush gauntlets
 
I have a pair myself. Those actually look like knock-offs of the Icon gloves. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

The Icon gloves have their logo on the wrist flap and have the studs on the palm.

Also the Icon logo is stamped in the middle wrist plate and there is another flap on the back of the hand.

Lastly on the side of the originals there is no star stamped in them. This picture also shows the extra flap on the back of the hand better.

Ok now I really need to go to the bike shop to find my gloves for my mando. Those are crazy cool. I saw a few like this back when I was poking around for ideas on my gloves. But never saw any thing this good.
 
Minor update guys. My helmet has shown up and its just sitting on my shelf .. staring at me.. scarying the bejesus out of me too. MS Custom buckets are frightening. Once i get the visor cut out i'll post some pics.

Z-Man: Definately check out biker/motocross shops. They've almost always got some interesting trikets...
 
Update ! :: Got my backplate in today. Thanks to the wizard of metal armor, Wickedbeard !

I slung it over my back and so far it fits almost perfectly (kinda hard to determine that for sure until i get a vest). The only thing i noticed is that i need to shave the shoulder tabs down a bit. Other than that.. Perfection !
 
PROGRESS ! Got a Dremel (finnaly) a couple weeks back and i now have all the proper areas cut out. Granted its not much overall progress.. but hey, it is what it is

I cut out the front and back grills to accommodate fans. The rear set of circular cut outs are going to be hose intakes, and for the smaller pair i'm going to fit in 1/4" panel-style red LED's.

After i figure out the hose situation, and a couple other details, i'll get this thing painted up :cheers
