*UPDATE #5- Mandalorian Imperial Mercenary. ARMOR PROGRESS

I'm looking forward to the finished version with blood stains, it'll look AMAZING!

If I ever decide to make a custom bucket, I'm def doing blood stains.

'few more days. The blood thing I'll worry about last, there are bigger fish to fry... like the fact that i still don't have a solid concept of the jet pack. expect more pics within the next 5-7.

Cheers!

Awesome.. that gash across the helmet had got to hurt!!

anyways.. instead of blood, have you considered just having mud and grime running down the helmet?

Another excellent idea. probably a more plausable one as well.


Here's the Jet Pack. I knew I'd kept those old Whey protien cans around for something. its nearly completed except some detail drybrushing, etc. I'm also considering adding some more plastic contour to the outside of the frame so its not so flat, but at this point I'm unsure what shapes to use and how complex this needs to get before I call it "done". not all of the parts are permanently plastic-welded together yet, so speak now or forever hold your peace.

Cheers!

Lookin' sweet my Dark Fett Man!

Are you going to be at C3? It will be easy to find each other. Here is the story...

Christov - "Hey, anyone seen a big white mando commando?"

John - "Hey, anyone seen a totally black and grey Imperial Fett? Wow, you look good.....DOH, OW"

Chris to Christov - "Oh, you are looking for John...he is over there getting beat up by Mirax's husband!"

Mirax - "Honey, stop beating up John, he is just giving me my Darth Maul bumper vinyl for my car!"

John - "OW! Where is my possie? HEEELLLPPP!

GEO - "Hey, John is getting whipped, let's help! CENO, SLAVEFIVE, KINDREDJEDI...back me up!

CENO - "Sure, but I am busy with all these hotties, and I am the only single guy here."

SLAVEFIVE - "John, I am coming! Quick, give me your credit card so I can close out the room first!"

KINDREDJEDI - "I have to be careful, my Sintra armor may shatter! Besides, John is 250 lbs. of pure, powerful, super-focused...lethergy"

Mirax - "Sorry John, every nerd in a helmet hits on me..."

John - "bu..bu..but all I, I w..w.ww..wanted to do is g..give you your sticker."

Mirax - "John, stop whining."

THE END

Thanks guys! and I was still thinking it looked like a trash-can in disguise. Think it's ok as-is?

John, Biomechanoid, I hate to say it, but I am a no-go for C-3. I'm going to Germany around that same time, and my travel funds are pretty much shot. Will this be the last of the Star Wars Celebrations?

I AM planning on catching a ride to the San Diego Comicon in July; best I can do. Any chance you all will be there too?

Cheers!

Chest, leg armor. I was planning on usin the logo pictured above on the left shoulder bell.... oops. now that I look at the photo, the bells were switched. oh well. use your imagination.

I was thinking of using the emblem pictured below on the right breastplate. whats the best way to handle this? stencil cut out of blue tape? or will vinyl decals work on a convex surface? what have the rest of you done on yours?

Cheers.

For my emblems, I bought some airbrush stencil film and cut out the shapes from that. Worked nicely. Painters tape may also work.

Good luck, costume is lookin awesome.
