SWGmandoBF
New Hunter
Alright before I begin, this is my first post and kinda new at this.. I had this idea about 3 or 4 years ago so hope im the fist to post this. The armor i made is about 50% complete so far. Its quater inch thick so 16g high grade steel, very nice stuff. It was cut with a torch and grinded and shaped it and semi buffed it so i wouldnt get a ton of surface rust.. I think its comming along very well... It is all self accurate to my body, im 5'11" 192lbs, and every part of the armor is proportional. BUT!! the reason why im trying to finish it is due to Celebration IV.. Which has got me very excited to finishing it. So right now most of the peices are cut out except for a few to name; back, knee guards, under thigh guard, top of boot guards and last above foot guards. If your wondering what im talking about ill soon post them,
i just have to torch them out first. But the Silver bucket is my one ill be using with this suit, It is not steel sadly still working on making a steel bucket that i can bead weld together. But this one is still nice is a aluminum powder and resin cast with a about a nickle inch of fiberglass on the inside for strength but very light. On the other hand the black and OD green helmet is very heavy lol ! about 2-3 quater inches of fiberglass and weights about 4 pounds, that one took the longest to make! Let me know what you guys think of it so far, and its supposed to resemble the SWG mandalorian armor off the game. Ohh yeah btw im 19 and this is my first time working with steel if anyone is wondering.
