Roki's Armor Thread

indubitively sick my mando friend, keep up the incredibly awesome work


PS: have u thought of getting the nerf Vulcan and updating that?


Yes I have, actually. Its very tempting, since i had a BLAST doing that Longshot. The thought of getting the whole N-Strike lineup, and modding the bejesus out of all of them, has crossed my mind a few times.

Rokeim, This is coming together great. Any updates on the chest armor?

Nope, nothing new realy about the chest (or any of the rest) of the armor. The man i've got doing it is kinda hobbled at the moment due to the lack of a dishing stump lol. It'll get done in due time tho. (y)

looks fantastic man! can't wait to see it done! ii'd love to find a set of those gloves in brown!

I'm rather fond of them myself 8) It is a shame you cant find them in brown. The only colors i've seen ones like this in are black and white. Keep an eye on the Icon lineup of motocross gloves tho, they may come up with something along these lines again.
 
Well guys.. i'm back.. for good I hope. The economy got its claws into me and still hasn't let go.. but I think i'm safe enough to resume working on this beast :) Sometime soon i should have pics of a few things up..and a great many questions about a great.. many.. things. :)

Welcome back Vod. I am having the ECONOMY problem as we speak, that's why I haven't updated my posts lately.

I am glad to see that you are back, I have been waiting patiently to see a full gear pic or 2, keep us up to date. ;)
 
Oh you wont be seeing full gear shots for a while. My plates aren't anywhere near finished yet. Soon as i get my stuff back from the parental units garage i'll beable to get some stuff posted tho :)
 
great job, do you have any plans for a custom range finder? i think it would really compliment the look of the bucket.

No plans for one yet. Just going with the stock RF for now.


And as promised.. here's a few updates. JP is painted (missile is painted too.. just not pictured), new earcap is painted and installed, RF painted and installed, gauntlets.. are there :p and a little work has been done to them, not much obviously. And the final pic is a gathering of most of the major components that i have in at least 80% finished condition. Not shown tho are the main gun (big green one further up in this thread), flight suit, vest and neck seal.

This is coming along nice, I really like the jet pack weathering.

I do have a quick question... Where did you get this "Easysand"? I could use some of that stuff.

Painting is in progress. As of posting, i've got 3 layers of ruddy brown primer sprayed, and i'm going to put 3 layers of grey primer on top of that before i get to putting down hammered silver and satin black. Pics of that comming soon.
