Jedi General (clone) armor.

how easy or hard something is really depends on your skill levels. i made my clone arms by sculpting a master out of mdf then vacuum forming it. i've also seen them made out of plastic cups and sheet styrene. it all depends on what you are good at.

Vacuforming is out of the question, I don't have access to any vacforming equipment and I don't have the storage space for it if I were to make my own. I suppose I should ask if styrene can be bent enough to make gauntlets without cracking or breaking; for it's going to be the most practical and least expensive method of doing it though I'm willing to try just about any other method.
 
I'm still largely in the planning and research phase right now but I'll be sure to start a progress thread once I've started in earnest.
 
I got my custom Jedi general armour done JUST in time for the Clone Wars release. ACtually, a week before, because I attended a sneak preview put on by a 'local' theater and Warner Bros reps. I am now looking for the same logo that Mace Windu has on his bracers, to add that to my bracers. I also have the Jedi clone-era logo (as in Riceball's avatar) on my left shoulder.

I made all my armour out of either 6mm and/or 3mm white sintra. Battle damage applied with butane lighter and graphite pencil.
 
Got any pictures Jedi Ranger?

Friend of mine is still a WIP Clone Obi, he's never happy with his work and always trying to improve it. His wife painted an awesome Jedi logo on his shoulder bell.....wish I had such talent in the family ;-)
 
The paldron is actually more complex than you may first think. It's even more then three sections. I've been researching this for myself and have found the Jedi paldron to have 11 sections!!!

You have the center piece for the chest, then one for the back. Two strips either side of these for both front and back. Then two more strips on the left and two on the right. Then the neck ring/collar to complete it. All of these sections are joined by some sort of elastic material. Every section moves freely with the characters body movement.

I modelled a solid one piece in 3D which I think is wearable though it will probably restrict movement but will give you the look of the Jedi armor. I will be working on a more complex multi part version at some point in the future too. With the 3D model I create templates to make them using card and fibreglass or sintra.

Here's a pic of the one piece I did:

Do you think you could give me some templates? I wouldn't mind making some jedi general armor. Thanks!!
