Custom mando for my wife - FINAL PICS!!!
What can I say...I'm easily distracted. I should be working on my own armor, but I like multi-tasking.
I'll post some progress photos tomorrow, as I actually finished building all the pieces and got a good bit of painting done already.
Because I had already bought a green flightsuit for my wife (which I'm going to try to alter into a two piece), I knew that I needed to work around the green in the suit, and I wanted her favorite color blue to be in the color palatte, too. I also managed to pick up a pair of finished Ruffkin gauntlets on TDH in orange that just need to be trimmed a bit to fit her -- so I threw those against the design, as well. Here's what I came up with (with a little help from the Mandomaker and Photoshop -- and inspiration from drooling over Hydra's designs!):
I still have to decide what those symbols will ultimately be, so I just sketched something rough in for now. I've got Rotton's excellent chest armor already halfway painted. All the other leg pieces in Sintra are cut (from WoF's excellent Jango templates and Boba knees), trimmed, primed, silvered, and have one or two primary colors as of today (it was a busy weekend with her out of town!). And the knees and boot tops are totally done.
Progress pictures forthcoming, but let me know what you think of the design.
