dude ur blaster is a monster... but I like ur concept... I love the snow mandos... proally won't do one myself but I do like 'em, especially Adonian's and Hydra's check those out they're sweet... urs has a lot of potential too, can't wait to see it.
I took the liberty of planishing up the plate on the right and the collar armor (so you'll have a good example of what to do on Saturday). The left chest piece still needs some dishing work to get a little more curve in it, and the gut plate needs some planishing before we move to the shoulders.
All in all it's looking good though! :cheers
Just as a side note, this is 2mm thick aluminum just like what I use on my own armor.
Oh hey Novall, I bought a 24" x 24" sheet of that 22 gauge steel today for the cod and knees. It had some rust on it so the guy sold it to me for $6 when the original price was like $18. I also got some of the .25 gauge aluminum and started on the left gauntlet. It's a little harder than I thought it would be.
Gaunts are tough...now you know why I charge so much to build a pair. =)
We are going to experiment with the cod piece to see if I can knock one out in one piece instead of doing multiple pieces. With some of my new armoring tools I think it's possible.
