Starting my first Mando today

yup good choice, can't wait to see it! I'm going to use the sun visor (which I never wore) from my paintball mask as the top of my tactical visor, that way it will have a slightly irregular shape to it, makes it look cool, then I'll use cardboard to build the rest of the visor and I guess I'll try to glass or resin the thing. May have to send it to A'd'ika to get it glassed! lol jk

Lev'ika how r u going to make your visor?
 
:lol: no i havnt even finished my bucket. I havnt had time to pick up spot filler. But this weekend i will be purchasing the flightsuit and making the Flak suit :D
 
altho... theoretically...(lol uh oh, here comes Kal with his trivia again! lmao) according to my research (reading ALL of the RepCom books, all of the Legacy of the Force Books and countless hours on Wookiepedia) I have learned that typically speaking, Mando'ade wear a undersuit made of a ballistic weave. This material is lightweight and flexible like fabric and won't do much to stop projectle weapons, however... it does protect from fragmentation and energy based weapons by abosrbing and dissipating the energy across the entire suit, degrading the kinetic energy of the fragmentation or the beam of a blaster to an insignificant level.
 
heres pics of my progress
gonna bondo it when i get a chance
