My fiance, who really is the real Star Wars fan of the two of us, is working on armour of his own and, once he finishes with his, will start on mine. I'm trying to learn more of the Star Wars realm mostly so I can understand where he's coming from in some of his humour or when he's with his guys, but I've got miles of books ahead of me to catch up to him in knowledge. I'm curious about the armour, though. How long did it take to make your girl's armour? Is lose clothing typical of the armour or did you use it simply for mobility's sake?

 

[bh7603]

shes not wearing loose clothing.

the metal took about 4 hours

Female warriors. Can't go wrong! It all looks amazing.

 

[ONE END]

I think she's referring to her shirt...

I was. At least in the first few photos it looks a bit loose, but then the last few it's a much tighter fit (as far as I can see in any of them).

Awesome! Gotta love a chick covered in plastic armour!

I do have an actual question though... how does one go about making the... uhm... (lets be crude) boob holes? The little raised bit on the chest?

Hey.....saw you at Phoenix Cactus Comi-Con.

Looks like I do have a mandalorian guardian with me LOL!

Actually Pax, I think Shado's armor is metal.

 

[Commander720]

Hmmmmmmm I thought mandalorians had their armor either made out of cortosis or beskar?

haha! Yeah... my fiance was talking about the female armour and trying to be delicate about it, but I'm just not sure there's a way to be.

Really? Awesome. I wish i had metal armour. Maybe if I work hard...

its steel.
the first shirt was a black turtle neck, now its a US navy winter dress shirt.

there are no boob holes, as you call them.

the plates are just hammered out that way.

 

[bh7603]

...this is prolly the last time this set will be trooped in. Will be building new plates end of month.
