SAS Mando

he he u guys r nuts! lol I met a SAS captain once... he looked rather normal to me. Except for the fact that he was nuts! lol
 
I think I'm gonna go against everyone here and say I like #5 the best. In my opinion the darker ones would look too much like real life "Earth" soldiers. #5 still has a mando feel to it.

But it's your costume so ultimately it is up to you :D
 
hehe Kal'ika, if you ever come to England, visit Herefordshire, where the SAS are based. Walk into a local bar and you'll run into at least 30,000,000,000 SAS members. Most are sergeants.
 
yeah I thought that's where they were HQ'd at... lol yeah they're all fine gents. I wouldn't hesitate to fight alongside 'em, but I don't wanna fight against 'em.
 
ok this is posted in my other thread as well... but I need help from my vode! I am going to be working on some new custom gauntlets... saw some stuff over on the mandalorian mercs where a vod scratchbuilt his gaunts from cardboard boxes and made 'em look good. That's what I'm going to try, using cardboard this time instead of the dang plastic signs. So... I need a few bits of wisdom and knowledge from you:

1. When glassing... what's the best way to go about it? I want to be able to glass it and keep my level of detail, so how do I need to set that up? Exagerate the details or what?

2. I want to use a Nerf Maverick to dissassemble and attach to the top in a rebuilt tri-shot configuration (will sketch and show later). I want to be able to rig this thing up so that it will still be able to shoot darts... from all 3 barrels! So I need help figuring out how exactly to do this and make it look good.

3. I want to add some Predator blades to my gaunts that I can sling out and they will not lock, but will sort of friction lock themselves into the closed position until deliberately opened, sort of like a collapsible baton only it will not lock itself into the extended position, I want to be as safe as humanly possible while still looking totally wicked.

4. I need to be able to shape this stuff prior to glassing and still keep the shape, and I need to be able to attach a few hoses here and there for proper appearance, what's the best way to achieve both.

5. The left gauntlet will also have a built in LED flashlight ($20 @ Walmart) to provide "tactical illumination" and I need help figuring out how to attach it while still having the ability to change the batteries and bulbs if I need to.

6. Anyone want to do this for me?!! lol jk jk, Any other suggestions you may have that I have overlooked or am unaware I need to be asking about... feel free to add it in!

V/R,

Kal Waco
 
hmm... yeah I'll be using PART of that technique! I don't want to attach anything directly to my hand, I want the whole rig to be self enclosed in the gaunt, however I think I can figure out a way to do it otherwise... just need to figure out a way to sync 2 blades on opposite sides of the tri-shot.
 
Hey adonian I think I'm going to use the drawer slide technique like in the video... but I don't want it to be spring loaded, any idea about how to keep it locked into the closed position when not in use?
 
never played COD?!?! HOW COME?!?! :lol:

because pictures always explain better than words...... heres a picture of one from COD 4

as for a literal description... SAS is the British Special Air Service, or in Austrailia and many other former British colonies (SASR) Special Air Service Regiment. They are the Royal Army special operations guys. They are analogous to US Special Forces, while the SBS (Special Boats Squadrons) are the Royal Navy/Royal Marines version, more analogous to SEALs or Marine Force Recon. The SAS also has an elite squad within the elite who specialize in Counter-Terrorism, I can't remember their name off the top of my head but they're equivalent to the US Special Forces Operational Detachment- Delta aka Delta Force or SEAL Team Six aka DevGroup (who call themselves Jedi). That's SAS in a nutshell... I could go on forever.

The specialist group, are you referring to CRW perhaps? Counter Revolutionary Warfare team. Basically, all the Sabre squadrons (the fighting platoons of the SAS), from time to time, have a team on CRW duty. Always 2 teams, one on standby, one in reserve doing CT training.

As of history things, the SAS started out in the deserts of Africa, in 1942.
 
Didn't know they were called CRW... thanks! As for their WWII stint in Africa... yeah I know, just didn't want to give a rediculously long history lesson on here. Had to do one of my thesis papers on the effectiveness of the SAS and other "specialized" organizations in college. Tough guys, all of 'em. Much respect to the SAS guys, that's why I'm making a mando to honor them!
