Thanks Darth Valcar means alot dude
Armor almost done, until i draw up some more concept on what i want to add I started work on my sidearm.

Still need to find a flash suppressor and some more lil details to add. Also wanted to give a ESB sidearm feel to it. Hope you Enjoy!

Did a test fit today, gotta say im liking how its coming out Just need to fit the thigh armor better so they dont sag and strap the leg armor on better.

Thought of doing some mid-bicep armor? Otherwise...that thing rocks so far.

Looks pretty darn good! Something on the arms would give it that extra finishing touch in my opinion

Yep, I do need arm armor heh, after reviewing the pictures i noticed it looked bare. Now I need to figure what look i want for the arm armor. Thanks again for the comments oh if you have any suggestion for it, just go ahead and add

If your not planning on using gauntlets, then I suggest putting a bicep plate that goes from the bottom of your shoulder armor to maybe 1 inch above your elbow. That will kill alot of dead space and make up for the loss of gaunt armor IMHO.

Give it a nice contour like you did your shin guards and that should look spectacular.

The paint job on the gauntlets are cool, but you may want to replace it with something else, the look of the soccer gaurds doesnt quite look right.
It is lookin good dude, keep it up.

Looks good Eagleskull =) I know you want everything ready for SDCC and I think it is. I would say that when time and money present themselves, make your gauntlets the first upgrade you do =), but you look good to go for ComicCon.

Nice pictures. I do like the idea of leaving off the armor on the upper arm.

And that last pic with the flower is giving Dessel ideas.

Nice suit. I'm a bit of tank myself, so this has appeal. I'm looking at a fairly non-traditional setup for myself (after getting Zannah's armor crafted, of course). My natural preferences don't quite align with what you've done, but I do like it all the same. You definitely present an interesting inspiration.

Oh. I'm still new to all of this, so may I ask what material is the core of your armor and what basic techniques you used to craft it?

Thanks a lot for that, Eagleskull. Do you have any complaints with your materials and techniques?

Once again, lots of respect for the custom job. It's cool and impressive. Great work!
