As far as knoxville being lame, i have live in numerous major cities in the U.S. they all have thier good and bad points, ALL of them...I dont consider knoxville to be lame, life in any city is what YOU make of it...any city that i can live in and be happy, and the Wailers come play for free is good in my book ....sorry your experience with knoxville has left a nasty taste in your mouth.
i talked to the 501st a bit at ad*con and plan to talk to them a bit more
once i get movedinto my new place, its on with the construction of my mando!!! i've printed out a few different ideas for props/etc and a couple blank armor pics from a website so i can work on a color scheme while i am at work later on. toda, but yes i am VERY ambitious and growing impatient lol.....
i do plan on keeping the cup size to a minimum (fortunately for me, i dont have a large cup size, well, i guess that's fortunate depending on how you look at it )...i am lucky enough to be the same measurements as a good 95% of the half mannequins i have found on ebay, which will make constructing my own armor from them pretty easy as far as i am concerned...
i have a couple of different ideas for the routes i would like to go with my mando...
are the knees the same color as the rest? Dunno if it's my screen but they look a little greener to me, if they are the same color I kinda like it. Staying away from the commonly used colors and a cool pattern to it. Weathered up I think it might look really good.
the shoulder bells match the knees...but above the yellow on all the armor and bucket is the same greenish blue that is on the knees and bells...the other parts are like a dark cobalt blue...the pic is uploaded from my phone, i'll be uploading a better one when i get home...yeah, the more i look at it the more it makes me think of moto cross, why i havent a clue (lol)...thanks for the compliment =)
